Gareth Robinson, WrexhamRegionalised rail has failed the common, everyday and occasional passenger with constantly increasing price hikes! Time to bring back a fairer system and value for money.
Ewan GreenIf we bring back British Rail we can increase our freight and trade in Britain.
Joanne Smalley, BeaconsfieldThe service across the Chiltern Railways line has been disintegrating steadily and consistently over many years. The current service shows the results of underinvestment.
Alan McVitty, Welwyn Garden CityBring back BR now for everyone’s sake.
Dawn Chamberlain, LiskeardOur rail and utility companies should never have been sold off in the first place.
Dave Shepherdson, Newcastle-upon-TyneI’m fed up with Northern Rail shoddy carriages.
Keith Smith, HounslowPrivatisation of the railways has been a disaster. The only people to benefit are shareholders – passengers have been screwed over.
Bob Harrold, StotfoldI’m not disgruntled, but the money that goes into profits for companies that carry little risk could be going into the rail network.
Martin Odoni, SalfordPrivatisation has been a catalogue of disasters.
Oliver Hickmet, LondonEnough is Enough. Stop robbing people and making their lives a misery. All everyone wants is to be able to get to their job at an affordable cost.
Andrew Wale, HoveHigher prices, poorer services, year on year. How long do they think people will be pissed on like this?
Hannah Davies, BasingstokeI can’t even afford to visit my friends in Woking, even though it’s such a short journey. These prices are obscene.
Dennis Hart, ManchesterUn-privatise is the only way forward from this mess.
Neil Blumfield, LincolnI use the East Coast line. Under the DOR, it gave a glimpse of what a re-nationalised service can do. With Virgin in control prices have rocketed. Privatisation doesn’t work.
Susanna Farley, New CrossIt is totally ludicrous that taxpayers fund the profits of the privatised rail system. We are not a charity for the rich.
Gillian Wolff, SheffieldAn efficient reliable customer-orientated rail service plus effective freight transport is what is needed.
Anne Keighley, ManchesterBring it back now.
Paul Lenihan, LondonThe system as it is now is a bloody mess and one big massive rip-off.
Edward James, LondonRe-nationalise British Rail and put passengers before shareholders.
Julie Dudley, GuildfordPut the profit back into government coffers to pay for the NHS.
Martin Bedford, BournemouthThe rail privatisation has got to be one of the most outrageous, harmful and impractical of all privatisations.
Shirley Coupe, NorwichWhy not re-nationalise, take more people off benefits to work in the Industry to, once again, give good customer service, instead of demoralising them with unemployment.
Paula Marley, SheffieldI love trains and rail travel but cannot afford to use them under the current capitalist system.
Declan Duggan, LutonPublic services should be in public hands.
Suzi Hanney, FarehamCommon sense.
Andy Bond, EdinburghIt’s the worst value rail system in the world.
Paul Ibbott, BedfordI have always believed in a nationally-owned rail system which provides a value service and removes road travel misery. Just visit the Hauptbahnhof in Berlin and weep.
Alan Carson, PrudhoeThe first mistake was the Beeching axe. This destroyed the infrastructure which made the re-routing of trains relatively simple.
Thomas Corbett, LondonWhen German state railways are expatriating profits from UK rail passengers, to invest back into more efficient and cheaper rail in Germany, you know we need change.
Joseph Harrison, WolverhamptonReunify to bring down the stupidly expensive train fares!
