Karen Christmas, YorkHopefully, one day we might get back to one kind of National Rail provider, stopping all private investors milking our system.
Steve Andrews, LincolnPrivatisation was a terrible failure for commuters and a great win for greedy investors.
Matthew McGee, WarringtonRail privatisation has been a calamity for the travelling public. It is well past time for this scam to be brought to an end. Bring back British Rail.
Kevin Baker, CoventryIt was better when It was British Rail.
Tony Hill, BirminghamProfits made by the TOCs should go back into buying more rolling stock and other improvements, as well as lowering fares. Profit should not go to shareholders and fat cats.
Terry Weldon, BasildonIn spite of the evidence of the East Coast line thriving under public control, the Tories intend to flog it off to their mates.
Richard Bell, DerbyThe private sector is responsible for some of the biggest economic health and safety disasters, whilst extorting the British public.
Richard Norman, SouthamptonPlease bring back a service run for the passengers who use it, and abolish the system which is heavily subsidised by taxpayers to line shareholders’ pockets.
Andrew Derrett, IpswichI am a train driver of thirty years.
Andy Brown, Leighton BuzzardPublic transport is a public service.
Robert Davis, LanarkshireThe industry is structured for maximum profit and minimum investment for a cartel of unaccountable and untransparent rail companies.
Andrew Hoadley, ArchwayProfit motive built the railways, when they really competed with one another. Now, and especially after WWII, it is a national asset. It must stay.
Phil Broadis, NeilstonJust bring it back.
Sion Ford, CardiffPrivatisation was an idea that has proven to be a mistake. It’s time this public service was put back to what it used to be.
James Fibbens, LondonIt’s unlikely to happen, but good luck anyway.
Robin Richardson, Walton-on-ThamesIf East coast can do it with such great service then bring it on.
Sasha Timofeev, CambridgeI desperately need the transport to be fixed. It’s a shame we lag so far behind other countries given our position in the world.
Shannon Cream, Long Beach, CaliforniaI rode BR Deltics as a child every weekend with my grandmother, from Luton to St. Pancras.
Mike Nevill, WorthingLet’s have a railway service that serves stakeholders not shareholders.
John Bacon, StevenageRailway infrastructure should be in public ownership for the good of the populace, not privately owned for the profit of shareholders.
Alan Brown, BasingstokeRe-nationalise now.
Duncan Crighton, DundeeState profits, not individual profiteers.
Nicholas Ham, NewquayBringing back British Rail can put an end to the mass confusion on the railways by having to go from one company’s train service to another’s.
Alan Harrison, WalsallRail is a natural monopoly and pseudo-competition is a nonsense. Bring back BR.
Ben Walsh, CambridgeI wish to see the railways re-nationalised, because it will be back as a service for the public, rather than a source of cash for the rich.
David Curley, LondonWe absolutely need a unified, affordable national system/service.
Sue O’Connell, LeighThe national railways ought to belong to everyone in the country and not be just for the benefit of the shareholders.
Stuart Bogue, AltonBring back British Rail.
Glenn Parker, MansfieldThe sooner, the better. I’m sick of hearing telephone figures for nationwide train fares.
Mary Cameron, LeedsI hope we are successful.
