Philipa Coughlan, Bexhill-on-SeaJoin the national protest on April 1st.
Tommy Neilan, LondonIt’s our railway so why is it owned by foreign businesses? Let’s bring it back into the hands of the people who use it.
Anthony Levchenko-Scott, Palmerston NorthI want BR back.
Rachel Craig, ThirskAll vital services should be publicly owned, including transport.
Lizzie Smith, BristolGetting a train here is like spending a lot of money for a horrible experience. I’ve spent £70 before to find myself sat on the floor of the train outside a smelly loo.
Elliot Ellison, BristolI’d happily pay more tax for a smoother, cheaper, nicer, national railway system.
Kevan Ogden, Chester-le-StreetPlease explain to me how sucking profits from previously nationalised businesses make them work better? The lessons of 70s have been learned. Reunite trains with the tracks.
Graham Derry, NottinghamNationalise the railways to make it a national system to give a unified and efficient service.
Kim Fergus, WirralIf trains are re-nationalised, I believe fares will be cheaper for ordinary people and public organisations. It would be better for health, environment and personal finance.
Koray Gurur, LondonYear-on-year fare increases and no marked improvement in service. The train companies generate huge revenue for private owners but I see no benefit to privatisation.
Dan Cooper, BrightonIt is not the fault of the workers, it is the government’s failure.
Sally RennerAnd bring back village stops please! I want to be more eco-friendly.
Jenny & David Pedder, Ashby-de-la-ZouchBritish Rail should never have been privatised. What it needed was a major shake-up of management and it would have been a superb service today.
Peter Sutton, Byford, AustraliaBring back British Railways
Lisa Morley, MargateI want value for money: £4,000 a year and no seat.
Les Croucher, NorthamptonRe-nationalise the rail industry.
Stephen West, BristolOur forefathers paid for the railways through hard graft and taxes, yet most didn’t gain a penny in the great British rail sell-off.
Clive Andrews, Berwick-upon-TweedWe all knew that privatisation of our railways would not make for cheaper, more efficient, faster railway services. Now the fallacy has been exposed.
John McCarthy, ManchesterRe-regulate buses as well. Cross-subsidise socially necessary routes instead of funding millionaires.
Alex Bird, CardiffI remember the sandwiches, and clean trains running to time.
Shelley Mulholland, SheffieldPrivatisation just hasn’t delivered.
David LatimerUnless we wake up, we’ll find that the whole planet is run by one global corporation, with all the remnants of democracy eliminated.
Emma Park, EdinburghCurrently it is cheaper for me to drive any of the routes I take with only one passenger. Environmentally and economically disastrous. Less profit more provision.
Tom Yates, WiganHow can companies dependent upon subsidies turn over such large profits? Pre-grouping railways didn
Padda Brewster, Wolverhamptonit was run better when it was BR.
Kathleen McDermott, WorksopIt’s far too complicated a system with so many different companies involved and putting profits before people.
Christine Dellen, TodmordenIt would be great to get rid of the mess we’ve got now, and have a unified service again.
Clare Brennan, EdinburghThe East Coast rail service is running well. I think re-nationalising the rest of the rail network would result in cheaper fares and improved safety for passengers.
Tom Casserly, ReadingNo competition, frequent delays, dangerously overcrowded trains, overpriced fares. Who’s benefiting from privatised rails? Shareholders!
Nadira Siddique, LeedsWe want a rail service which is fair and looks after the customers’ needs.
