Axel Blackston, RedhillI will join your fight for freedom.
Cecilia Franklin, GatehouseWe have no rail left in southwest Scotland. Bring back British Rail and re-open old networks.
Andrew Long, FlitwickVertical integration has to make sense. But please keep out the politicians and civil servants from meddling in the rail industry.
Graeme PineTransport should be owned by the state for the greater good not for profit.
Stuart Elms, WorthingCertain things in our society are done best where the ethos of ‘public service’ is paramount, not first making profit so we need to think back to the British Rail of late 80’s.
Dean Mander, King’s LynnGreat campaign. How I long for a rational national transport system that is not driven by a free market ideology but by forward thinking policies that put the planet first.
Stephen Roach, HaverfordwestHear me, you wrangling pirates that fall out in sharing that which you have pillaged from me. (Richard III, William Shakespeare)
Tina Richards, HuntingdonThe only sensible rail network is a unified rail network. Bring back British Rail.
Marc Scheimann, LutonIt makes sense, pays money back into the exchequer and costs less to rail users.
David Grey, North ShieldsIt is madness that the profits from Britain’s vital infrastructure (and utilities) go to foreign owners when they should be re-invested in Britain and its workforce.
Tom Hirsch, NorthamptonNo competition equals high prices and bad service when there’s no alternative.
Peggy McKeown, ConsettThe East Coast line has made a profit since it was taken back. Now they want to put it back into private hands.
Steve Goddard, CrawleyRe-nationalisation could be designed to benefit passengers, workers and small/medium size companies as well through fair non-cartel competition. Fewer lazy fat cats.
Carolyn Waters, Newcastle-upon-TyneTransport is an essential service and should be nationalised, not having to make profits for shareholders. The present system is far too complicated and fragmented.
Mel Thomas, Blaenau FfestiniogThey should never have been privatised in the first place. But beware of legislation that would globally prevent this.
Lynda Holt, WarwickBring back British Rail.
Bess Britton, RiponAbout time.
Keith Jones, GatesheadIt should never have been privatised in the first place. Greed once again was put before common sense.
Colin Bromley, NorthamptonPublic transport has to be affordable by the public. It therefore has to be run by the public.
Carol Wheeler, NottinghamshirePlease lets have British Rail turned back to British Rail. There have been far too many British industries sold off and not for the best of reasons.
David FairclothThere are thousands of people who support the idea of having an integrated, publicly owned and operated railway.
Brian Cox, StaffordCan be done over time, when contracts are due to expire.
Rik Manning, StroudA railway network based on service not profit. I want a truly inclusive rail service so the average citizen can travel at a reasonable price.
Tun Loakthar, LondonThanks for organising. I always wanted to find people who also want nationalisation of British Rail.
Paul O’Neill, LondonBring back loco-hauled trains. Reduce speeds for better comfort. No to HS2.
Gareth Llewelyn, ExeterStop subsidising private companies and use the money to make a usable sensibly-priced service.
Richard Treloar, PortsmouthI’ve just travelled back from Germany and I am clearly envious of their equivalent of BR. If they can do it, then we can do the same.
Nigel Sleeman, LeedsThis campaign makes absolute sense for the whole of the UK.
Irene Jones, Newcastle-upon-TyneWhat exactly does this country own? Answers on a postage stamp please, if you can afford one.
Douglas Miller, NorthallertonPrivatisation of British Rail has not worked. It costs the country more, does not provide a service and so it is time to change.
