Barbara Gleave, WirralI’m fed up with keeping Branson in luxury and disgusted at his Corbyn accusation.
Scott Foy, PaisleyTrain travel in the UK is far too expensive for such a poor service.
Richard Cox, BirminghamWe need a vertically integrated railway run by railwaymen and not by bean counters or civil servants.
Ilija Jovanovic, DerbyWhat’s happened to the rail, as with everything, is a disgrace. Money before people. Bring back British Rail.
Andrew Hall, ErithBring back British Rail. Privatisation does not work.
Trevor Walsh, OldhamRe-nationalise and keep the profits to be invested in the infrastructure.
Joel Martinengo, CanterburyAs a student I cannot afford to pay over £40 for a next day return to London when I only live in Canterbury, an hour’s train journey away. It’s a disgrace.
Peter Brown, LondonBritish Rail was not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but it was better than what we tolerate now. ECML have shown what can be achieved. Now for the rest.
Carl Nolan, LiverpoolNot-for-profit railway.
Sean Brown, BarnsleyBring back BR.
Barbara Cowle, WirralYes to public ownership of British Rail. We have sold off too many of our utilities that should be owned by the taxpayers. Water, Gas, Electricity are all owned by foreigners.
Lee Pitchforks, GravesendI work for Network Rail. Bring back a nationalised company that has the country, employees and passengers at heart, not profit.
Phyllis Steel, RothesayPlease re-nationalise this much needed service and enable daily commuters, regular travellers and visitors to the UK enjoy an efficient joined-up transport service for all.
Graham Symms, BroughtonThe railways, like so many other things, should be run for the benefit of all the citizens of this country and not to make already rich people even richer.
Jonathan Rose, BasildonSuch a big part of Britain, needs to be British again.
Alison Harte, KentThis might help to stop strikes.
Adam Lilley, BirminghamBecause the current system is still costing the taxpayer millions, even though we then pay all over again when we buy our tickets.
Ian Potter, SheffieldIt makes economic, social and environmental sense to have the railways run for our benefit again. Why wouldn’t you?
Len Searle, SwindonAs a daily commuter from Swindon to London, I am appalled at the service and high cost of train travel.
Carmen Bell, NelsonGreed has become the norm, time to start running the railway for the benefit of the people and not some greedy corporates.
Eddie Rocks, KirkcaldySuch an important part of a nation’s infrastructure should never be in private hands.
Barbara Segal, BristolOur fragmented railways are in a mess – expensive and unreliable. We need a nationalised service where all revenue goes back into the service and not shareholders’ pockets.
Michael Bramley, SkiptonHopeless franchise process continually adding to ticket prices.
Matthew Mountain, LondonWe privatise to make money for the private sector. Why? We are not the private sector, we are Britain and we should run our services for us, not for private companies.
Nik Dadson, RoystonWe subsidise rail firms with our taxes, pay way over the top for season tickets from our pre-taxed wages and get an awful service. Profits go to shareholders.
Pete Sherwood, WallingtonSomething has to be done about this blatant rip-off.
David Petty, Saffron WaldenIt’s an open and shut case. Bring it on.
Dave Wells, SwindonAnd all other public services too.
Kristian Quillinan, SloughWe need it.
Shaji NarayananI don’t think austerity stricken Britain and its common public can bear any more fare increases.
