Neil Pritchard, St. HelensNorthern Rail are the pits. For goodness’ sake, give our railways back to the people of Britain.
Tom Stringfellow, PrestonRe-nationalise the railways, buses and long distance road transport. Create an integrated network for freight and passengers to meet the needs of the 21st Century.
Richard Gillett, SheffieldAll national infrastructure and any business too big to fail must be owned by the nation and run for the benefit of its citizens.
Clayton Tindle, WorksopBritish Rail should be for the people not a get rich scheme for Cameron’s cronies.
Alison Harte, KentThis might help to stop strikes.
Susan GassawayWhat about the Post Office and Royal Mail?
Neil Tattersall, YorkPrivatisation clearly doesn’t work.
Colin Telford, TruroStinky dirty two-carriage boneshaker trains, overcrowded in summer. Even when the insides are renovated they still leave grime in the recesses.
Simon Oxford, HerefordThe popularity, price and efficiency of our rail network has deteriorated for long enough.
William Grant, SurreyI don’t use the rail network since learning to drive but a national rail network/provider seems to make good financial sense as long as it is allowed to modernise.
David Sutherland, MontroseBring back British Rail so that the service is first and foremost for the people, not primarily for private economic profit.
Tony Cook, Lyme RegisWe need investment in an efficient and affordable rail system.
Richard Morgan, BradfordWe’ve had enough of companies taking profits and under-investing. All profits, responsibility and decisions should be the Government’s on behalf of the population.
Pattie Barron, BrightonI couldn’t agree more. Let’s make it happen.
Len Clark, LondonThere is no room for the privatisation of our public transport, health, education and public utilities, just for greedy profits.
Max Hutchinson, ManchesterNorthern Rail are a disgrace.
Bob Archer, Barrow-in-FurnessI keep telling Miliband it’s a vote winner, but does he listen?
Stephen Butcher, BallymenaA fragmented rail network makes no sense.
Boris Durham, LeedsLook at what East Coast brings to the public coffers.
Matthew Shewbridge, LondonBusiness and railways don’t mix. As a natural monopoly, there is no real competition amongst providers to deliver a service of good value and high quality.
Brian Rattray, AberdeenPrivatisation has been one of the biggest disasters of all time.
Howard Ellis, NorthallertonBring the railways back into public ownership.
David Tait, BarrheadBring it back.
Julia Callow, BournemouthPrivatisation was supposed to be value for money. It isn’t. It is a failed experiment and it’s time we ended it.
George Harvey, Bury St EdmundsPrivatisation has failed us. Why should we give them more money for a poorer service?
Christopher Jack, EdinburghThe East Coast mainline has been a success since it was brought back in public hands. The rest of the network can be a bad joke.
Rosie Butterworth, OrpingtonNationalised services are more accountable, therefore provide better service and are more cost-effective.
Peter Robinson, DerbyIt is necessary to have a cheap and efficient public transport system (including railways) if we are going to combat climate change.
Alex Kashko, EdinburghTransport is infrastructure and should be handled on a no-profit basis by government.
Ben McCullough, ThatchamThe public funds wasted in private companies is outrageous and could be spent on a public functional railway.
