Jeannine Cooper, BingleyIt simply makes sense.
A Beckett, BristolRailway investment for the passengers not for the fat cats’ and shareholders’ dividends. People before profit.
Paul Adkins, FleetRailways are an essential service and should be run as a not-for-profit organisation with prices set by the government.
Christine Kelly, PortsmouthNationalise all public services now.
Andrew Sherwin, BathOur basic infrastructure should always belong to and be run for the benefit of the people of the United Kingdom.
Andy Morten, FromeIt’s about time somebody seriously considered this.
Chris Mills, IpswichAll East Anglian train licensees have been a dirty, late, packed-trains nightmare for years. Re-nationalisation is the only answer, and re-open branch lines.
Barbara White, IlfordUnfair prices and no porters to help, and these are only things I can see.
Matthew Milnes, BingleyThe punctuality rate British Rail achieved in its last year (about 90%) was not matched by the privatised industry for about 15 years, despite the public investment.
Jamie Walsh, WatfordEnd the greed.
Stuart Bogue, AltonBring back British Rail.
Karen Haywood, ChesterfieldNo doubt HS2 will be privatised once the tax payer has financed this white elephant.
Sven Hanson, BrightonThe money earned from an integrated system should be used to invest in government and the railways themselves instead of lining the pockets of shareholders.
Greg King, GuildfordThe current system isn’t working.
Carole Frost, BirtleyBritish rail should never have been privatised, especially for profit I say re-nationalise the service.
Tom Freshwater, WallingfordIt just makes sense.
Joseph Redfern, CardiffCritical Infrastructure should be nationalised. Privatisation of rail has failed. Operators do not have the interests of the public at heart.
James Mundy, New ElthamGood luck with the campaign.
Jonathan Alder, WenhastonAlthough it is probably bottom of this government’s agenda, for thousands of people the goal of having a railway system run for people as a service is fundamental.
Carol Munro, BournemouthBuying train tickets is far too complicated and confusing.
Nigel Parry, EdinburghThe rail service prices have rocketed up. Edinburgh – London used to be £80 in the 1990s. Better public transport is essential for the economy.
Gillian Anson, LetchworthI remember the days of British Rail and would like to see them return.
Pete Magee, WellingboroughPrivate profit – no. Public service – yes.
Alan Ridgley, LondonRe-nationalisation is the answer to the blatant greed of the private rail operators.
John Burrell, CambridgeA co-ordinated transport system is essential to a 21st Century developed country. This cannot be achieved with the current set up.
Philip Dixon-Phillips, IlfordEnough of this franchise nonsense – just bring BR back.
Nick Ridgway, PlymouthYes, I believe it is time to re-open our rural rail links. It could prove profitable now as population has increased.
Teresa Price, BarnsleyThe railways now are such a mess – very overpriced, because of the ‘competition’. What is the point of saying more? We all know.
Phillip Dunkirk, HarrogateBring back British rail
June Carcsry-Stuart, EdinburghRe-nationalise our train service.
