Phillip Corbett, HarwichLet’s stop this private greed and get back on the right tracks. Public transport.
Anne Armstrong, SeafordThe railway can survive in public hands as we don’t live in the old days.
Dave Shepherdson, Newcastle-upon-TyneI’m fed up with Northern Rail shoddy carriages.
James Howells, LondonIt’s the worst railway service in the World and a system that exists solely to rip off commuters. The end of this botched system can’t come soon enough.
Carolyn Dougherty, YorkStop siphoning public money away from public good into private hands. It’s our railway.
Peter Hencher-Serafin, StudleyWe did not have a say in selling it off and the way it was done cost the taxpayers a huge amount of money.
Richard Walker, WilmslowPrivatisation has ruined our railways almost as much as Beeching. The status quo only benefits the shareholders and bosses. Too much freight on the roads now too.
Mike Shaw, EdinburghBBBR.
John McNulty, Newcastle-upon-TyneLiving with East Coast Rail has highlighted that the case for privatisation has never been proven.
Teresa Smith, RoystonOverpriced fares, overcrowded and late trains. When FCC franchise runs out in 2014 the route should be taken back into public ownership. Put passengers before profits.
Sue Flint, BristolHigh time, too.
Daniel Eunson, EdinburghBRING BACK BRITISH RAIL. Bring back affordable fares, profit paid back in to the public purse and quality service for all.
Gary Hilsdon, BrightonPlease re-nationalise the services of this country.
Ashley Ivan, Haywards HeathRarely get a seat so have to bring my own stool or sit with the luggage. Services constantly cancelled or delayed. Ticket prices are astronomical. Bring back BR.
Declan Duggan, LutonPublic services should be in public hands.
Roy Whittles, HuddersfieldWhy should we pay subsidies to these companies in order that they can make a profit?
Iain Bowley, NorthwichJust the ticket.
Michael Branney, LeicesterSadly, the current disjointed rail organisation and ticketing is a national embarrassment.
Robert Ughes, WorthingEnough of the lying idiots not providing a service. Enough. Ask your Parliamentary Candidates.
Peter Dean, PlymouthThe terrible prices are forcing Mr Average off rail and into the car.
Neil Walker, GloucesterStop this creeping privatisation of everything.
Joe Duncombe, RochfordPrices constantly rising, with services getting worse. I’m fairly certain that these private companies have a monopoly and that a monopoly is illegal.
Nicola Blackwell, LewesIt does exactly what it says on the tin.
Jonathan Goode, CaterhamRe-nationalise the current rail system.
Tim Boxley, GraffhamIt can’t come soon enough.
Pat Brennan, DerbyThe railway system should be a service, an essential part of the country’s network, which is necessary for good communication.
James Fussell, MI live in Sweden but I’m British, Bristolian born and bred, and I’m 100% in favour of re-nationalisation of the rail system – without compensation.
James Aitken, EdinburghEnd the rip-off of both passengers and taxpayers. We pay more now than we did for BR.
Anthony Thorley, SittingbourneOld BR – poor management. New services – bad management plus greed – any thing for profit.
David Taylor, BarryBring back British Rail. The way things are run now is shambolic. Why do we have to put up with high fares and companies who simply run trains as a hobby?
