Shaun Featherstone, CardiffI’m 100% in favour of re-nationalisation of all public transport.
Patricia Crow, JarrowIt should be a service, not a cash cow for shareholders.
Isabella Willis, CrewkerneIt’s long overdue to stop the con of privatisation.
Andrew Dugdale, ReadingRail fares are beyond reason for the worst quality trains, and most overcrowded service in Europe. It needs fixing – fast. We’re no longer getting there.
Sean Osborne, UllapoolAlthough I was not alive during the time of British Rail, I believe that the only way that our railways can regain their reputation Is by nationalisation.
David Gallico, RugbyWhy are our fares amongst the most expensive in Europe? Subsidise fares and services, not executive pay and shareholders’ profits.
Andrew Staniszewski, BristolMay the flees of a thousand camels infest the Tory collective anus.
James Bremner, HolmrookI oppose rail privatisation on both economic and operational grounds, speaking as a qualified transport economist.
Edmond Bourke, BasildonThe railways were supposed to be privatised, so why as a taxpayer are my taxes still going to the railways while bosses are raking in huge profits?
Deb Tetley, LeedsLets take back our trains and make them work for us, not private companies.
Rosemary Scott, ChesterOf course all public services should be owned by the state, i.e. us. This includes railways.
Andrew Stewart-Wright, RugbyMore money has been wasted on consultants and legal fees that could have been spent on Rail. It would be great if we had this wasted money spent on rail instead.
Tim Gray, GlasgowI just want to be able to get to work. I live in a developed country. Is this really too much to ask? Rail privatisation was the worst idea ever.
Joe Laughlin, KeighleyRe-nationalise and lets have a rail system owned by the people for the people with the profits going to the government not private companies.
Lesley Burt, ChristchurchWe need a rail network that networks for people who use it (or would use it if it worked properly) – not for profiteers.
David Glover, Chipping NortonWhy should we continue to put up with over inflation prices with profits going to the rich rather than being invested in providing a better train service.
Bill Holland, ManchesterSubsidise public transport, tax fuel.
Nicky Hamilton-Smith, EdinburghPublic transport should not be run for private profit.
Gareth Pritchard, HolyheadBring free travel to disabled people.
Peter Roberts, EdinburghProfits should be re-invested in the business and not frittered away to shareholders (whilst accepting taxpayer subsidy). Nationalise and improve the service from within.
Adrian Challinor, LondonOh, please. Anything but Southeastern.
Jill Caretto, HarlowTransport should not be run to make a profit for shareholders. Any profit should be used to maintain and upgrade.
Dennis Bridges, LondonDo I need to explain why bringing the train network back in house is a good thing? Surely the greedy mismanagement of the private sector has already done it.
St Clair Stewart, ForfarPrivatisation as it is is a rip-off.
Julie Gossage, High WycombeRegular peak time cancellations, short formations leading to dangerous overcrowding, increased fares. It’s totally unacceptable!
Kerstin Fletcher, IpswichThe success of the publicly run East Coast Main Line service as opposed to comparable privatised lines strongly suggests that re-nationalisation would be the best option.
George Bryant, RedhillBring back British Rail and end big profits for the worst service.
Stephen Godden, Port TalbotI’m old enough to remember just getting the train to go somewhere and getting there for a fair price without hassle, and without having to buy a ticket six weeks in advance.
Aiden Gill, DoncasterLet’s wind down the franchises as they each come to an end. Create a streamlined railway network for Britain again.
Vivian Jenkins, DundeeWhat a mess this enterprise has been. It needs to be sorted now.
