Evelyn Welsh, PrestwickIt was a huge mistake. East Coast lines and Eurostar prove that publicly-owned railways can bring in profits for us all.
Peter Farrell, Tunbridge WellsThey’re not just privatising everything they can get their hands on. They’re closing all former nationalised industries. A socialist programme of action is the only answer.
Peter Hammerton, SheffieldBritish Rail – more efficient, more cost effective, no profiteering.
James Smith, LondonGet rid of privatisation.
George Povey, BathTrains suck at the moment. Constant delays, tickets cost an insane amount even with a Railcard and they are poorly maintained.
William Morton, Newcastle-upon-Tynewe need vital services in public hands and away from the sharks.
Duncan McKinnon, MotherwellReturn the InterCity.
Joe Stamper, Burton on TrentNationalisation to offer flexibility and protect rail travel at an affordable price for all.
William Ryan, ManchesterWe need to re-nationalise all the transport and utilities.
Glynis Marshall, NottinghamIt could be as good as East Coast trains is, but they’re selling that.
Mike Shaw, EdinburghBBBR.
Kevin Hollands, LondonRe-nationalisation will save the tax-payer money which I thought this Tory government wants to do.
Sonia Gray-Clough, HarrogateThe ownership of the railways should never have been separated. The railway experts said it would not work and it doesn’t.
Alex Lewis, BangorDo we not owe this to the future generations? I miss the scene of an InterCity liveried train whizzing past the rural coastlines. British Rail all the way.
Emily Wood, Medford, New YorkI’m not even British, but I’ve seen exactly what happens when private companies get their filthy thieving hands on public railroads.
Carwyn Davies, WrexhamBring back BR.
Michael McVey, BrentwoodThere is no competition. It’s a license to print money
Sylvia Coles, NottinghamAll essential services should be nationalised. That’s rail, water, energy, post office, and schools under local authority control.
Stephen Hannahs, DurhamIn a civilised nation some infrastructure services should be paid for from the public purse. It’s not about profit for private companies.
Ben EvendenSafety before profit.
Wes Taylor, HavantKeep Britain British.
Chris Yates, NorthwichThis needs to happen. What is the use of a train that is less than half-filled to capacity when you charge through the nose? Give British Rail back to the people.
Andrew Ratcliffe, LondonBring back British Rail.
Gillian Malouf, StockportCross Country now use the Trainline to service their website and have suddenly started charging £1 to collect tickets from the self service station machines.
Jennifer Zass-Ogilvie, DurhamStop privatisation of a service being well run and profitable.
Adam Costello, West KirbyWhy are Britain’s private railways owned by Europe’s nationalised railway companies? It’s madness.
Callum Winfield, IlkestonI am sick of all these foreign businesses abusing the system to milk us of all our hard-earned money. It has to stop being about profit. Make British rail British.
Nicola Mortimer-Stokes, CheltenhamRailways and all essential services need to be run as public services which are much, much more trusted than big business. We have bad banks, and profiteering water companies too.
John Bacon, StevenageRailway infrastructure should be in public ownership for the good of the populace, not privately owned for the profit of shareholders.
Mike Beaumont, BrixhamJust bring our railways back to where they were before privatisation and upgrade the rolling stock to meet demands for the ever growing population.
