Frank Beevers, MexboroughThe rail system is too important to be handed over to profiteers. Give it back to us.
James WoodmanPrivatisation, fragmentation, subcontracting, internal markets, franchising, managers, managers, managers, jobs for the boys… Rip-off Britain!
Brian Edge, HolsworthyNationalised industries provide service while privatised industries only want profits at any cost.
Andrew Bosmans, DoncasterAbsolutely brilliant campaign, but get the old logo the correct way round please.
Craig Gardiner, LondonBring back British Rail.
Garry Pursell, MexboroughThis country of great innovators and engineers that built the railways needs its railways re-nationalised and made not for profit now.
Kathleen Price, NottinghamI use East Midlands trains at least twice a week and as the prices rise the service gets poorer.
David Makin, Colwyn BayAnd re-nationalise all other public transport while you’re at it.
Isabel Shaw, CardiffI’ve been a commuter for over a decade and have witnessed cramped trains and steep fare rises. It is time for railways be re-nationalised.
Owen HockeyJust look at the East Coast line, publicly run and puts money into the Treasury. The West Coast line, privately run, takes money out of the Treasury.
Gary Dowling, PlymouthPublic services are not for profit. Any surplus should be used for reinvestment and to employ as many staff as it takes to run a safe service.
Stuart Allison, DriffieldSince privatisation both timetables and fare structures have become incomprehensible.
Alan Holtom, WorcesterBus companies have no idea how to run railways. I’m a rail worker with 40 years service. What a mess.
Allan Robinson, SussexWe need a railway that’s a source of pride not profit.
Sue Lindley, AppledoreGive us back a rail service that we can all afford to use.
Joseph Mason, Newcastle-upon-TyneWhy should private rail companies get so much subsidisation to increase their profits when any profits could and should be returned to the customers.
Geoff Walker, Stoke-on-TrentTime for a real change in politics, time for the nation’s good and the welfare of all, not just shareholders.
John Bacon, StevenageRailway infrastructure should be in public ownership for the good of the populace, not privately owned for the profit of shareholders.
Stephen Barstow, Malvik, NorwayI have stopped using the railways. It’s just too stressing an experience at all stages from booking to travelling.
Mary Wyburn, AmblesideI want collective ownership of a rail transport system for the benefit of service users, not shareholders.
Peter Neal, RomfordBring the railways back to the nation and reduce the fares by not giving money to shareholders. The East Coast line has improved since being run by the nation.
Verumignis, LondonAs a trainspotter, I would really like to see British Rail return. Fares are the worst part of privatisation in my opinion, they are high and inconsistent.
Ed Brown, NottinghamPublic transport should always be socially-owned.
Dan Edwards, LondonThe privatisation of public services was and is the most short-sighted planning possible. Bring them back and put the profits back into society, not private pockets.
Lyn Mackfall, DoncasterBritish Rail – the clue is in the name. Network Rail and the private rail companies should be under one organisation.
Ben Watson, LondonRail privatisation has obviously been a disaster for both passengers and staff.
Ted Goodhew, MaidenheadI was a teacher for 42 years in the public sector. The Conservatives want to privatise education and the NHS, and I think both would be disastrous, just like the railways.
David Swan, LondonA country needs an infrastructure. Tories believe everything should make private profit, but charging higher and higher prices beyond customers’ wallets is no answer.
Michelle Hunt, BristolI’m not a big train user, just fed up with being ripped off by privatisation. It’s the same with Royal Mail.
George Grace, LiverpoolSerco has been shown time and time over to be unreliable at operating public services and should be stripped of this franchise immediately along with Abellio.
