Chris Tugwell, WellingPrivatisation of the railways is a sham so that shareholders can make millions. We should re-invest in re-opening closed lines and bring back a real service.
Mike Smith, EghamI’m sick of paying exorbitant SW Train prices to fund shareholders.
Jim Gannon, LondonThis gets my vote.
Alec Hayes, Burgess HillScrew Southern Rail.
Debby Poole, Stoke-on-TrentThe cost of rail fares now is so expensive I can no longer afford to travel.
James Reid, MiddlesbroughI believe BR should be reinstated because it allowed the British people to travel the country in an affordable manner whilst still making a large profit.
Mark Parkes, BirminghamThere is enough evidence that re-nationalising the railways would work, so stop the waste of re-franchising our railways.
Mick Yates, DoverI’m a big supporter of re-nationalising the railways.
Chris Schiele, ManchesterNorthern Rail needs to go. Levenshulme commute doesn’t work. The 08:11 is a myth.
Gwen Daly, ReadingBritish Rail should never have been split and sold.
Steve Howlett, Southend-on-SeaThese rail services have become pocket-lining mockery. Increasing charges, and declining reliability, massaging the figures and facts to suit their greed.
Prasad Sriramula, LondonTrain commuting to work is a basic need not a luxury.
Tim Delaney, LowestoftIt’s obvious that the railways are being run for short-term private gain and not in the public interest.
Neil Brodie, PortsmouthBack to the good old days.
James Fairall, BristolGWR offer the worst service in the country for the highest price. How do they retain franchises and get franchises from Stagecoach?
Peter Brown, LondonBritish Rail was not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but it was better than what we tolerate now. ECML have shown what can be achieved. Now for the rest.
Dhilllon Bainsford, ManchesterOur train service is non-existent. Delays, cancellations, strikes.
Christopher Flack, LondonFirst Capital Connect are the worst. Bring back BR.
Eddie Klos, SheffieldHow can a fragmented service serve the needs of the UK? Co-ordination and integration of all public transport services is what is required, not mindless competition
Annie Weatherly-Barton, SpaldingBring back British Rail into public ownership. It’s a disgusting rip-off in privatised hands.
Martyn Dormer, BathThe railway represents a significant national asset which should be treasured, not milked for maximum profit.
Martin Keyse, Newport GwentOvercrowded trains, late trains, trains cancelled. It’s happening too often.
Luke Dineen-Willis, NeathI can’t stand seeing them continue to raise prices each and every year, then boast about their profits each quarter.
N P Bradley, DevonCrossCountry Trains are German. I would like to see British Rail back in the UK.
Kye Savage, LondonBring back BR. Prices are absurd on trains at the moment. It should not cost £50 to go 50 miles.
Albert Welch, Houghton-le-SpringJust one of the many privatisations of public services undertaken during the Thatcher regime, all of which have been a total disaster for working families and communities.
Richard DraytonRailways should be economic drivers and enablers run for UK plc not profit cash cows.
Natalie Henstock, LondonI have had to use a car as Southern is so unreliable for essential travel – like going to work.
Charles Stonehouse, WolverhamptonGive it back to us.
Keith Brighty, YorkIt’s easy to do by letting current franchises run out and not renewing them.
