Henry Buckle, ActonWe talked about this idea over beer years ago. I can’t believe it’s happening.
Liam Corley, AberdareWe need a better, publicly owned railway. The private sector has enough other ventures to capitalise on.
Jason Lees, BrightonProfits for investment not personal gain.
Clare Wood, InvernessWe want our trains powered by glorious Rolls Royce engines and new modernised Class 42s to be introduced.
David Finch, LutonIt cannot be right when trains are more expensive that using a car. Train travel should benefit all the people, not just to make profits for the few.
Frederick Toates, Milton KeynesStop this shambles of ever-increasing fares.
David Broadmeadow, LouthIt’s ludicrous that the profit-making (for the taxpayer), East Coast Trains has been re-privatised. That’s dogma gone mad.
Mark Boulton, LondonI’d love to see the back of all these brands and businesses.
Ruth Henderson, BirminghamI miss British Rail. The service was all about passengers, not profit.
Melonie Gouldbourne, LondonStanding in Virgin train on a impinged knee injury and blistered feet from a charity hike at in the Lake District. £107 to stand for 3-4hrs! Terrible service.
Christine Platford, BrightonEssential services should all be nationalised.
John Rawlinson, StaffsService for the people not subsidies for the already wealthy.
Martin Curtis, St IvesRe-nationalise now. Public ownership is the only way.
Andrew Watson, BuryAs a West Coast line user I have seen rise after rise and I only get a seat on one in four of my journeys.
Sam Morris, MillomBring back BR like the good old days.
Dorothy Braithwaite, BlackburnGive us back the good old days.
Edna Woodhead, SheffieldTake British Rail back into public ownership.
Joan How, LutonMy father worked for British Rail from 1947 until 1958 when he was made redundant due to privatisation. He was devastated.
Derek Jones, TyldesleyThe so called privatisation is costing the tax payer more than the nationalised railway ever did with duplication of jobs. Surely it’s time to stop this nonsense?
Hampton Family, Westgate-on-SeaI agree that we should re-nationalise the railways and make them more affordable.
G R Parker, TadcasterWhat’s good enough for East Coast and most of Europe should be good enough for the UK.
Steven Feven-Parsons, PlymouthI have wanted this for 27 years now.
Michael Gerard Joseph Flanagan, CorbyWe need it back.
Sandra Kell, RiponPlease re-unify. Our country is too small for lots of separate railways.
Gordon Stephens, BostonRailways are a public service and as such should be in public hands, not being used to make huge profits for private companies.
Malcolm Morris, LeedsI want a public train service owned by the public and run for the public’s benefit, not faceless profiteers.
A Beckett, BristolRailway investment for the passengers not for the fat cats’ and shareholders’ dividends. People before profit.
Phoebus Apostolides, LondonThe private companies sell us a crap service year after year, but what are we going to do about it?
Jacquie Ludlow, CheshamI am sick of the government feeling they can do what they like to our country. What happened to freedom of speech? We are not listened to any more.
Keith Collinson, SwanlandProfits for a better railway not shareholders.
