Connor Nunn, ManchesterI’ve travelled on rail for years and I’ve seen a huge decline in the service. I can never get a seat and the fact of the price is a joke!
Grace Hardy, TwyfordRun an efficient service or lower prices.
Michael Axford, Potters BarAs a retired old railwayman, I ask you, please, to keep up the good work.
Rich Mottershaw, CheshireEventually the powers that be will see sense and they will bring back British Rail, an organisation we can all be proud of.
Peter Crampton, HalifaxTime to take back what was stolen from us.
Keith Marr, Hemel HempsteadThe railways are a natural monopoly best run by the state – just like the postal service.
Robert Birtwell, ChichesterLots of private firms seem to have decided not to stand on their own feet, but sponge off taxpayers. We want our railway back.
Norman Farenden, PooleBring back British Rail and put our money back into Britain.
Philip Quinton, AylesburyWhy is it cheaper to travel by car than by train?
Richard Paines, IlfracombeRe-nationalise everything. Royal Mail makes a profit and we don’t need to sell it. The bits that don’t make a profit won’t be sold.
Terence Sythes, Milton KeynesPrivatisation seems to be the default position of Tory policy. The services are never better run, but at least the select few can benefit.
David Little, Swavesey, CambridgeThe Covid-19 crisis forced some degree of governmental control but still leaves the broken franchising system intact. Full re-nationalisation is long overdue.
R C Bourget, SloughThe subsidies that the government continues to have to pay to the private sector to run the railways is the real reason that privatisation is not working.
Andrew Bosmans, DoncasterAbsolutely brilliant campaign, but get the old logo the correct way round please.
Ben NichollsWe commuters have had enough of private train companies running a monopoly and putting cash before customers.
Cameron Telfer, Newcastle-upon-TyneI think bringing back British Rail is a good idea as the prices of tickets can be equalised and made fair for all rail users. Cheers.
Ross Dobson, LondonTime to get Britain’s trains back on track.
Corinne Deakin, BarnsleyThe price of public transport seems to go up all the time. The trains are a mess and are often late. What are we paying for?
Mark Prisley, SittingbourneEnough is enough.
Nicholas Davies, St. Leonards-on-SeaI’m fed up with constantly rising fares, packed trains and last minute delays/cancellations even when there is no strike on.
Peta-Jane Ditchburn, AndoverIt was a lot better when British Rail ran the railways.
John Brien, BeverleyIn a civilised society things like public transport – getting people to work or to see family – should be a public service, not a profit-making organisation.
Terry Young, New MaldenRe-nationalise everything – gas, water electricity – all the things a country needs to flourish.
Pauline Vernon, Weston-super-MareIt’s a no-brainer.
Edward Grassby, LondonI want a rail service that efficiently runs cheaply for the public, not an overpriced service that is unreliable.
Paul Selway, ManchesterI’ve never understood the argument that a private company can provide more at lower cost than a state-run service whilst still paying a dividend to shareholders.
Mehdi Mir, SheffieldThe government subsidises rail, passengers pay unbelievable fairs and private firms take huge profits.
Michael Connole, RotherhamI would like to see British Rail nationalised so that a proper structure of management, engineers and workers can be put in place to deliver an ethical service.
Stephanie Archer, ManchesterPrivatisation has done nothing for passengers. We are treated abominably and expected to pay huge increases to reward shareholders. It’s not acceptable.
