Gary Clarke, MarchIt should never have been disbanded. It’s time to bring it back.
Laura Yates, Newcastle-upon-TynePlease listen to the voices of reason and also see what the EC line is doing for the country’s finances.
Norman Clegg, BlackpoolBring back our low fare railways God Save British Rail.
Kevin Morrell, PortsmouthThis national disgrace needs to be sorted, as our future depends on it.
Norman Fellows, ConfolensThe railways should be run as a public service, not for private profit.
David Gallemore, Leamington SpaIs there a local group?
Grace Distill, St AlbansThere are some things which should be owned by the people, for the people, not by corporations and fat cats for profit. This is one of them.
Sabina Stefanova, LondonGo Ellie Harrison!
William Boyd, WareI’m a recent convert after travelling on state-owned railways in Europe – cleaner, cheaper, air-conditioned, punctual.
Cyril Rhodes, SheffieldIt should not have been done in the first place.
Steve Dalton, BarnsleyAs a person who prefers good service for customers over meaningless profits for shareholders, I’d be happy to see a return to rail travel being publicly owned again.
Tom Morris, ManchesterStanding up from London to Manchester on an overcrowded train is one thing. But to pay upwards of £87 for the journey is criminal.
Laura Macdonald, ManchesterThe idea that it’s impossible for nationalised railway infrastructure to be run with pride and efficiency is patent nonsense.
Dawn Curtis, ReadingI think it’s disgusting that the prices are increasing yet again.
Simon Walsworth, LondonThere’s nothing as important as getting our people to work. Rail travel should be owned and run by the people for the people.
Michael Knights, LondonStop the fat cats filling their pockets with tax payers’ money. Re-nationalise the railways now.
Carol Munro, BournemouthBuying train tickets is far too complicated and confusing.
Susan Bayley, DerbyTrain fares are way too high, especially if you want to travel on a Friday. Why?
Terry Piper, AltrinchamEast Coast proves that the railways can make money without private companies who have no incentive to make real improvements to services, just profits.
Richard Quigley, BirminghamPublic service not a profit making industry.
Eileen Nicholas, MelroseAs a very frequent user of busy East Coast Trains which is now profit making, I feel the country should benefit, instead of private companies.
Steve Yeates, East SussexWe need a train service run for passengers not shareholders.
Lee McDowell, MaghullWhat’s a mess, Bring back British Rail.
Peter Brooks, GloucesterOne organisation for the good of all passengers.
Timothy BaldwinI agree we need a fully integrated, publicly-owned rail network.
Lloyd Walters, LondonWe should never again allow those Tory vultures to sell off our national heritage to enrich their privileged colleagues.
James Storey, Newcastle upon TynePlease bring job security and respect back.
Peter Kolodziej, LondonGood public transport is a right not a privilege. Get rid of the fat cat shareholders who take no risks but get all the profits. Privatisation has failed.
Timothy Sercombe, ExeterWe pay out millions in subsidies, so that shareholders get a dividend every year.
Sean DurneyEnd rewarding shareholder profits for high price tickets and cost driven, unreliable services. Invest in the railways and get cars and trucks off the roads.
