Alex Coles, SouthamptonBBBR!
Nick Sadler, BristolPrivatisation has cost the taxpayer far more than BR would have done.
Barry Woodcock, KetteringI am old enough to remember the good old days of BR when we all knew what the fares were without going through different web sites and companies.
Kuba Borucki, LondonPrices are not justified by service (or distances), nor are the yearly over the odds increases.
Joyce Moore, LeicesterA fully integrated rail system – serving the whole of the country – can only be achieved with state control and ownership.
Ben Carlin, FalkirkIt’s scandalous that the Scottish railway has been sold to the Dutch national rail. Give our railways back to the people.
Akit, LondonUK trains are a shambles compared to the rest of Europe.
Lucy Neal, LondonThis is the best idea I have come across in a long time. I’m tired of being grumpy about the ups and downs of so many different companies on the railroad. Bring it back.
Peter Kasim, LondonPrivatisation can only work within the context of customer choice. Rail companies are not forced to improve performance or value, because they monopolise the railway infrastructure in the UK.
Leslie Holder, ReadingMy late father worked for BR and Rail Track and always moaned about how bad things had got after the take over, about penny-pinching mend-and-make-do and poor management.
David Smith, StourbridgeAs a regular West Coast traveller I am consistently frustrated by increases in rail fares.
Richard Miller, LondonNo spam please.
Daniel Moorcroft, BoltonPublic transport must be taken back into public hands. We are paying above and beyond for a poor service. The service is heavily subsidised with high ticket charges.
Thomas Edwin Eddleston, OldhamThey should never have been privatised in the first place.
Hannah Straw, NottinghamTrain travel is now prohibitively expensive. Smaller stations are not serviced, meaning that only wealthy people who live in well-connected places can use it.
Alistair Redman-Bayasi, SheffieldIf we get British Rail back, can we have it red please?
Susan Fulbrook, WorksopTravel with British Rail was easy. There were occasional problems but it was much better.
Chris Henwood, BrightonThe sooner the better.
Peter Flack, LeicesterThe railways are and always were a public service, not an opportunity for profiteering at the public’s expense.
Phillip Derisi, LondonRenationalise the railways for the benefit of passengers, employees, and the public now.
Bob Hawkes, RomfordI can’t believe people think these companies want to put money into the system. They all want to take it out and that’s Tory policy.
Diane Cawood, ManchesterNationalised East coast line costs taxpayers less to run than the privatised lines. Stop companies lining their pockets with our money.
Michael Jones, ShrewsburyImagine BR with the amount of funding all these companies get and the only compensation payments were to end users not the paper excuses we have now.
Alan Cole, OxtedWhat a waste. Bring back BR who ran a service for the people not the shareholders or franchises.
Mike Keedwell, ChelmsfordEnd the present shambles now.
Audrey Walsh., PortsmouthThe railway companies have for too long been allowed to treat passengers as dupes to fund the managers’ high salaries, and their bonuses, and shareholders.
Hannah BirkettI can barely afford to commute to work any more. The service is never on time and of appalling quality.
Bill Moir, DurhamEnd these ridiculous disparities – its Victorian.
Jane Clifton, LeedsIt is disgusting that through political ideology only our rail network has been sold off. The East Coast rail route should be kept in public ownership to benefit us all
Michael Drain, LondonYes please.
