Juliet Wilson, EdinburghWe need affordable, interconnected, environmentally friendly rail services.
Robert Parker, SandhurstBring back British Rail and get rid of this rail madness we now suffer from – crap service and high fares.
Joe Meredith, RiscaPublic ownership is in the people’s best interest to have a system that everyone can depend on.
Sandra Redden, NorthamptonWe need trains so that people can get out and about and get to work.
Margaret HuntAbout ticket pricing. I had to tell USA tourists why I had a saver return ticket with seat (£12) to London & they paid £92+ each to stand.
Audrey Frumento, IpswichWe are demanding a re-unified national network run for people not profit.
JamesI support you fully against this greed and want the link broken between private corporations and ministerial back-scratching.
Jason Leyton, LondonFirst of all I’m really sick and tired of this privatisation as it is all about making profit, cramming in as many seats as possible and foreign-made trains.
James Greenhalgh, HuddersfieldGood luck to the campaign.
Chris Poulton, LondonBritain saw the birth of railways, but since privatisation the system has steadily declined and fallen well behind other countries. It’s in the public interest to improve.
Ashwin Vyas, BingleyIt’s time to end the culture of private profits but socialised losses and subsidies.
Gill Cuthbertson, BangorThe system is not fair. Different subsidies or hike-ups in different regions. It needs intelligent organising.
Richard Roberts, HuntingdonI fully support the re-nationalisation of all public services. The clue as to where ownership should be is in the description. Germany and France recognise this.
Dawn Woolley, CardiffI frequently travel by train and have witnessed standards and services reduce as prices increase. The trains should be run as a not-for-profit service for everyone.
Barry Freeman, ShaftesburyPlough the income back into the nationalised railways – not into private profiteers’ pockets.
Yvonne Baker, StockportBritish Rail did not ‘belong’ to the government. They sold something they did not own. That is robbery – selling something that ‘fell off the back of a lorry’.
Mick Dawber, NottinghamBring back the railways where they belong.
Mark Westendorp, Lyme RegisWe are paying for it anyway so let’s have it back.
Olaya De La Iglesia, NorwichPrivatisation has been shown not to work time and time again. We want a service free from the shackles of profit-making for the shareholders.
John Littlefair, BroughA re-unified national railway network is fair, sensible and forward-looking.
Graham Towler, NorthamptonThe current system is complicated, no matter how hard it is tried to be portrayed as simplified for our benefit. There are far too many ways to book and I feel cheated.
Stephen Wischhusen, LewesIt would be so easy not to renew the franchises as they fall due. The East Coast main line is a success under state control.
Robert Clark, PooleOh what a circus, a Major catastrophe. At a higher price than ever and no competition for some areas. Is that fair? I think not! BBBR fast.
Christine Barratt-Phelps, StalybridgeIt would be in the British peoples’ interest to have it back as British Rail. The Government should never have sold it off as it was one of the citizens’ properties.
Marko Lauten, HI’d like to see the railway in public ownership again – in Germany as well as in the UK.
Louis Stephenson, FarehamPrivatisation of the railways created the TOCs (Train operators) and ROSCOs (Train leasing companies) all wanting a share of the subsidies. How can it not cost more?
Joe Tait, SouthamptonRe-nationalise it now – the sooner the better.
James Gosney, WedmoreBring back a national public transport system that is for the people and not for private profit.
Ashley Sinani, LondonBring back British Rail.
Spencer Guest, WakefieldIt costs a fortune to get around by rail and you can only go to specific places. It’s meant to be cheaper but costs more than me getting around in my car including taxes.
