David Bonner, HarrowTwenty years of private incompetence. It’s time to re-nationalise.
Ian McCall, LlanidloesThe current service is expensive, unfriendly and wasteful.
Richard Jenkins, BridgendActually, I would want a Welsh Rail. I’m Welsh, not British, but bring back ownership of vital services to the people.
Gemma Holmes, ThameTrains are dangerously overcrowded due to carriage formations being woefully short at peak times. Everyone is back in the office as normal post Covid. Arriva must go!
Matthew Meadows, LondonI’m all for nationalising all forms of ‘public’ transport.
Frank Parnham, BarnsleyI have a choice of routes to London to which I regularly travel. East Coast is not the easiest but it is the one I choose as it gives me the best deal, the best journey.
Robert Macqueen, Leamington SpaDon’t let European governments run our railways. Do it ourselves.
Samuel Norsworthy, GosportStop and bring back the railways as they were. Villages have grown into towns and towns into cities.
Elizabeth Taylor, GuisboroughIt’s a good idea as long as the prices are low and it is run properly.
Grace Keeley, LondonImprove the train service, and make it more affordable prices for workers.
Sylvia Gainsborough, CambridgeI often use the rail network, as I no longer drive. Passengers are still standing or sitting on the floor. It’s not good enough.
John Gardner, StevenageLet’s own what we pay for and use.
Nicky Gillibrand, ChorleyCurrent rail prices are overpriced and the service is beyond terrible.
George Parker, ManchesterPublic ownership is better than private. Just look at the East Coast Mainline for proof.
Aimee Neat, LondonKeep up the good work and let me know if you need volunteers.
Robert Hill, BournemouthAs I pay for the railways anyway, through the taxpayer subsidy, I and my fellow Brits should own it.
Sheila Lovelady, EasthamWorst things to happen, first that wretch Beeching then privatisation. A good thing is to restore it to what it was.
Lucy Reynolds, LiverpoolAn essential service for the people should be run by the people, for the benefit of all.
Alan Street, SeaviewBring back British Railways.
Cathal McCarron, LondonChoo choo!
Christine Platford, BrightonEssential services should all be nationalised.
Alan Pool, RoystonBring public transport back to the public again, instead of subsidising the profits of private shareholders.
Malcolm Bruce, EdinburghSubsidy now is four times what it was in BR days.
James Orr, CambridgePrivate means worse usually.
Alison Richards, PenzanceI believe that British Rail should never have been privatised. Britain should be British and proud of it, so let’s make it publicly-owned and British again.
Roger Grauwmeijer, Dunedin, NZEach year I visit the UK, rail is by far the most convenient form of travel.
Paul Smith, WarringtonToo much money going in the wrong pockets.
Elliot Ferenc, RochdaleBring back British Rail
Dara Foody, HarrowAs a socialist I believe in production for use not for profit. Economic and social benefits of re-nationalisation in many areas, not just the railways, are very appealing.
Stephen O’Neill, LiverpoolI am old enough to remember the propaganda about state subsidies to inefficient nationalised industries. Now those subsidies have tripled under privatisation.
