Gregor ThomsonEnough is enough. The current situation needs to change.
Derek Bibb, GlasgowI believe that it is very important to have a unified, not-for-profit railway sytem to provide travel at reasonable cost..
Damian Toal, BrightonI’m sick to death of funding shareholders’ lifestyle over service.
Shaun Reid, South ShieldsA publicly owned East Coast Line shows how a rail service can make money for the nation and not for the few.
Terry Bigley, HinckleyBritish Rail gave a comprehensive straightforward national service instead of the current fragmented service which has to pay for dozens of chief executives.
Janice Windle, GuildfordPrivatisation has brought none of the benefits promised and has raised prices and provided a debilitated service.
Nora Ramage, GlasgowIt’s too important to be run for private profit.
Ray Grinney, DealRemove the strata of capitalist greed that impoverishes the rest of us who are not shareholders.
Donald Jessiman, ReigateAt last. A movement to put transport back where it belongs – with the public. Let’s bring an end to this disastrous privatisation.
Sheila Barclay, GlasgowRail travel has become a cash cow for private companies. Result: a very poor, overpriced, service.
Martin Rowlands, WidnesI just hope that the politicians accept that the current system would improve if it was just one company with proper accountability. Gas, electricity and water are the same.
Elaine Walters, LondonMost definitely.
Dennis Archer, ArnoldBritish Rail first then the utilities.
Richard Hampson, PeterboroughPrivatisation only lines the pockets of greedy people while everyone else loses out. Oh but wait, that’s what’s at the core of every Tory policy.
James Siddle, WakefieldTransport, health and utilities should never be in the hands of the private sector.
William Ryan, ManchesterWe need to re-nationalise all the transport and utilities.
Graham Armfield, WokingThe fact that the East Coast Mainline can run well at less of a cost to taxpayers shows how rail privatisation is conning us all.
Kathleen Gardner, Tyne and WearThe sooner the rail network is out of private hands the better, but I do not support HS2 which is an obscene waste of money and hugely damaging to the environment.
Ana Jolly, NottinghamPlease stop this profiteering racket.
L CJ, PenzanceAs a teen addict living in Penzance, I am unable to afford the train to attend a youth narcotics anonymous meeting that I would particularly benefit from.
Ahsan Naseer, BirminghamPlease bring back real rail travel in the UK.
Kerrian Guybert-Routier, Lardy, FranceFrom France I say: no privatisation of SNCF, bring back British Rail!
Christine Sharp, HastingsEndless delays, overpriced fares and no choice. Rail is a public service, not a private business. I am a passenger – not a customer.
Alan Lyddiard, Newcastle-upon-TyneFor the people by the people.
B Freeman, StevenagePrivatisation is theft of publicly owned infrastructure, transferred at knock-down prices to the already wealthy, at the expense of the people.
Natalie Morton, LeedsIt really should be a national service that is not for private profit.
Andrew VarleySince privatisation prices have rocketed and services plummeted in the North – overcrowding, old stock, not enough trains. Promises, promises and nothing ever done.
Roland Bishop, SouthamptonEssential national infrastructure must not be used as a cash-cow for foreign capitalists.
Andrew Stark, LeedsThe privatisation has resulted in a worse service for much higher fares and a few people getting very rich. The only way to get better railways is to re-nationalise them.
David Minshull, Stoke-on-TrentDisgruntled ex BR S and T man now privatised and sick of red tape.
