Odette Gotobed, Milton KeynesMost of us would support this decision. Privatising our railways was a very wrong thing to do.
Carole Wheat, NottinghamI would like to see the rail, water, electricity and gas nationally and not privately owned.
Jonathon Purllant, ReadingStop the price hikes. I’m totally over being ripped off on my daily commute.
Jonathan Hopkins, HarrogateRail privatisation was a fine example of the reverse Robin Hood mentality of the Tory party.
Kevin Wilson, LeedsPrivatisation of the railways has been a disaster for rail users with rising fares and the lack of investment that was promised.
Colin Bull, LondonThis is long overdue. Bring it back now.
Kevin Doherty, DumbartonRe-nationalise rail, power, mail and all other industries privatised by government, especially the Tory’s selfish greedy millionaires.
Patricia Jones, Y FelinheliIt should never have been privatised in the first place.
lori Campbell, BristolPlease sort it out and stop the squeeze.
Hugh Pincott, PlymouthCome back British Rail – all is forgiven.
Andrew Round, BirminghamIt’s wrong to put monopolies in private hands. Trains in Birmingham are expensive and almost always late.
Lindy Ayubi, ExeterA civilised country would run a unified and expanded network affordable to everyone (while taking freight off the crumbling roads network.) Re-nationalise now.
Cyril Rhodes, SheffieldIt should not have been done in the first place.
Mark Lansbury, Isle of WightPeople Not Profits.
Sean Millwood, StevenageWe need to maintain a core of public services which create a sense of shared ownership and shared benefit. Water, energy, health, education cannot be open to profiteers.
Mark Dawson, CarshaltonTrains are public transport. It is obscene for a private company to run them for profit.
Jeff TaylorWe need you British Rail.
Anne Callaghan, BlantyreAll utilities should be nationalised and run for the benefit of the public, not shareholders, with profits being ploughed back into the company to modernise.
Allen Heatley, Newcastle-upon-TynePrivatisation has done nothing but rob passengers year after year. It is about time all essential services were nationalised again and run for the people not shareholders.
Darren Burling, ChesterIt’s time for people to take the railways back.
Gary Ellam, StaffordRail priority should be to benefit the country and the people.
Susan Crawford, Newcastle-upon-TyneA ludicrously over-priced and over-complicated railway system.
George Houseman, WakefieldIt is better to have an integrated railway facility than the fragmented service now available. Also more economical.
Simon Rawlins, SheffieldNot only should the rail network be publicly-owned and accountable, but fares should be decided by democratically elected committees of workers.
Susan Tracy, ManchesterRip off Britain – from the railways to the NHS. Everyone should emigrate.
Stephen Wright, LondonPrivate train companies are making an average return of 147% on every pound they put into their business, while fares are rising and I can’t afford to travel anymore.
Suzanne Turner-Inglis, BlackpoolWe need this for everyone.
Jonathan Grinham, LewishamBring back British Rail. It is the only answer to stop the ever increasing of fares.
Chris Davies, IlfordTry getting onto the weekday 08.09 to Liverpool Street at Ilford and tell me that this is a satisfactory state. Then see how long before you can get on an LS bound train.
Jennifer Hobson, LapfordPrivatisation has produced a worsening service.
