Mike Domingue, HexhamIt would be great to also see improvements to rolling stock used on regional services like here on the Carlisle to Newcastle line.
Katherine Newey, ExeterI don’t drive and am dependent on public transport. Services are inferior and more expensive than under BR.
Gavin McBride, EdinburghBecause what we have at the moment is not fit for purpose and all it achieves is the fattening of corporate wallets.
Liam Booth, ManchesterLabour: get this sorted.
Carla KeegansYet again, TP train terminated early and so I missed local connecting train. 6/6 journeys in the past year.
Steve Ford, WinchesterEach year the service gets worse and worse. It’s hugely expensive.
Malcolm Lanfear, GloucesterBring back British Railways, so we in Gloucester can have a proper train service again, like Cardiff to Newcastle and Swansea to Leeds.
J Mark McCoy, LondonThe current rail system is an expensive shambles, rip-off for hapless passengers and an embarrassment to all.
Bill Parry, LiverpoolRe-nationalise all privatised concerns without compensation.
Mark Gallagher, ManchesterIt was silly of John Major to privatise the railways. It just does not work. Tax payers’ money is going to subsidise private rail company profits.
Paul Lewis, LongfieldAll the most successful and fair railway systems around Europe, and indeed the World, are state-run and not-for-profit. Let’s defeat the Tory scum.
Gareth Brown, RugbyServices by the people for the people, let’s not stop here. Bring the energy and water companies back into public ownership as well.
Duncan Sillars, DundeeThe UK rail system is too small to benefit from the pressures of a free market.
David O’Byrne, ManchesterBring it back.
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.
Heath Thomas, ReadingWe, the British people, deserve a rail system that works efficiently.
Derek Ramsay, SunderlandIt should be under public ownership as privatisation does not work.
Phillip Seaborne, LeominsterIt’s about time there was some joined-up thinking on our railways, not this disjointed mess we have now.
Tom Bell, RetfordThe example set by East Coast since 2009 shows that this is the best and only option that benefits the taxpayer.
Matthew Plews, DealWe need to re-nationalise and take control of our railways.
Louise Sumner, LeylandRail travel has never been the same since we lost BR.
Roger Allen, LondonA publicly-run system can aim subsidy at fare reduction and infrastructure. As it is, shareholders take large chunks for whatever excessive profit is currently expected.
Suki Mann, GosportEnd corporate greed. Bring back people’s services for the people.
Joanne Royston, LondonI’m being priced out by season ticket fares, and am on a three year pay freeze.
Alex Morgan, BristolSafety sacrificed for profit.
John Taylor, ManchesterGreat cause. Stop the Tory boys.
Rob Smith, HawickBBBR.
Richard Quigley, BirminghamPublic service not a profit making industry.
Wendy Gibson, BriggThe Government proved on the East Coast line that the railway makes a lot of money so why are they giving it away?
Emma Cand, LondonFree market without the possibility of boycotting?
