Jacqui Rowe, BirminghamI’m disgusted that London Midland has had its franchise extended.
John Heap, WetherbyAll privatisations of publicly-owned infrastructure assets were driven by commercial interests and have not served the public well – an abdication of responsibility.
Mike Gibson, WarminsterPlease end the idiocy of privatisation. Bring it all back under one umbrella for the good of the country, the passengers and the industry.
Malcolm Hunt, LondonBR seems to have run best when it was up for sale and had to prove itself before privatisation. If East Coast can do it, then I’m sure the whole network can too.
Mike Nevill, WorthingLet’s have a railway service that serves stakeholders not shareholders.
David Cole, LondonTime to undo.
Dawn Curtis, ReadingI think it’s disgusting that the prices are increasing yet again.
Jim Gibbs, SheffieldIt seems like common sense to run a transport service for people rather than profit.
Martyn Thirlway, LondonThis is something I have been saying for a long time. The government should be responsible for transport, hospitals and schools. I wish this action the very best.
Donal Shea, LondonThe political party willing to take this action will have a powerful example of how they are resisting the idea of profit for the few over the welfare of the many.
Anthony French, DoncasterExpensive, cumbersome, inadequate and a national disgrace – Britain’s privatised rail network. Follow the European model and bring back BR.
Tomos Jones, RuthinFed up of waiting for trains.
Phillip Bevin, SurbitonThe idea that essential national infrastructure should be owned by publicly unaccountable overseas private organisations is absurd on a fundamental level.
Mike Kirwan, NottinghamIt’s a diabolical service and they don’t care about the passengers, but useless top managers are paid millions.
Mary Fletcher, St IvesAs private owners want a profit it’s unlikely they will ever be cheaper.
Lee Dalton, WeymouthUtilities should belong to the people.
Jeremy Wildeman, ExeterThe service is terrible, confusing and incredibly expensive. Fix this awful rail system and help the UK work.
Richard Leaman, PrestonPrivatisation has been a disaster. Carried out without a political mandate, and maintained against the general will of the country. It’s time to reclaim our railways.
Karl Groom, BracknellI would like profits currently paid to shareholders put back into our services and not have them sold off in the fist place.
Beryl Myers, Co. DurhamBring back British Rail. Privatisation has been a disaster.
Martin Hawes, SwindonIt’s a disgrace that the privatised rail service gets three times the subsidy British Rail ever got.
John Leyland, WiganTrain travel has become a ridiculously expensive, uncomfortable and unpleasant experience. It wasn’t always so. I support the return of British Rail.
Michael Friend, DartmouthRailways should be run as an affordable service for all people, not just for shareholders and to provide luxury for expense account holders.
Pat Tracey, FleetWhy privatise a national asset in the first place? – Greed.
Kevin Freeman, GlasgowThe people have spoken.
Linda Long, LondonNationalise the railways.
John Roe, YorkAn excellent and necessary campaign. The government should be responsible for the railways.
Colin Matthews, LondonLittle chance for something that was not on the agenda of any of the main parties, but more important now than ever.
Phillip Jameson, LeedsEast Coast is an example that a railway run by the state can be efficient. End the stupid franchise idea so we can get better long-term investment that benefits users.
Paul Hill, ColchesterThatcher’s scum children will one day be shown by the people of this country that we come before their all-engrossing profits, which only benefit them and not us.
