Charlotte Godley, SheffieldAs a student living away from home I gave up on the train due to its general shockingly bad service for distances longer than a few hours. For trains the only way is up.
Ruth Sanchez, BrightonSouthern Rail are hopeless, useless and a total disgrace. They charge the highest fares in Europe yet providing the most awful and unreliable service.
Lynn Lansbury, SandownWin votes by doing something for the people.
Dario Giudici, StevenageI joined British Rail in 1983 and am still in the industry today. I can’t believe we pay people to run a service so that they can make a profit.
Patricia Crow, JarrowIt should be a service, not a cash cow for shareholders.
Erica Wimbush, DunbarWhen private train companies fail, they allow public train companies (like East Coast) to step in. What evidence is there that private train companies are best?
Sue Caro, LondonWhy should private rail operators who make huge profits and rip us off with high fares receive much higher subsidies than British Rail did? It’s daylight robbery.
Patric Monney, BirminghamEnd this national disgrace of this decimated transport system and put it back in public ownership and people that give a damn about it.
Paul Thornton, HuddersfieldI’m amazed we need to tell people about this.
Aisling Leyden, KetteringIt has priced normal earners out of the commuters’ market
Maria Dolores Moreno Manzano, LondonIt is absurd that a public service is in the hands of those whose sole interest is their own profit.
Linda Barham, HarwichI would like to see it back like so many others.
Karen Donnelly, BradfordThey should never have been privatised. It’s been a disaster from the first. It’s about time service, maintenance and customers were put first.
Camilla Boon, ChalfordThe rail system is a national asset, and far too important to be in private hands.
Ivan Beavis, LondonOut with the privateers. Transport is a public service.
Sharon Jenner, TelfordPrivatisation does not work.
Chris Gramger, KendalProfit for public services, not shareholders.
Jordan Cuff, CorshamBring it back.
Chris Lemin, LondonPrivate enterprise has been a disaster for the railways.
Oliver Drew, BathBringing back British Rail from the privatised mess it is now and preserving the NHS are the two crucial duties of our generation.
Sue Flint, BristolHigh time, too.
Bona Mohammed, SouthamptonBack to public rail.
Steven EvansFares keep rising, there are fewer trains and the ones that do turn up have shorter coaches which are not keeping up with the demand of more passengers.
Vivek Katyara, BirminghamThe rail network should be government-owned, to resume order and assurance of safe, easy and improved travel infrastructure.
Mark Matthews, NorthamptonThe railway needs to operates as a unified mass transit system with adequate trains, staff and reasonable fares. I’m fed up with being ripped off by fat cats.
William Shearer, LondonThe great experiment should now end. Privatisation has not worked. Talent has been lost as train operating companies now work in ‘silos’.
Joanna Heap, DerbyPlease nationalise our railways as the industry is in tatters currently
David FairclothWe all need to spread the word and get as many people as possible to support the campaign!
Harald Dahle, AbingdonInfrastructure utilities should be publicly funded and accountable to their users, not to their shareholders.
John Armstrong, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe railways should never have been privatised. It’s a mess.
