Mary Lloyd, SouthamptonThe privately franchised rail service is making it impossible for people in the South to get to London by train. We need nationalised rail now.
Mellory Darlington, BurntwoodThe present system is chaos.
Karlyn Brydon, LivingstonI work for East Coast and it definitely works better re-nationalised, unlike the dark days of National Express.
Darren Skeet, PitseaPrivate railway companies have over-inflated prices for far too long. We need to try something else.
Moya Berry, ManchesterNow there is the opportunity to bring British Rail back.
Helen Ingham, LutonPrivatisation doesn’t work. Nationalisation does, if not interfered with by those with vested interests. Get the country moving and working properly again.
Aaron LawI am continually ripped off planning trips and visiting places even with a railcard. It is almost cheaper driving these days.
Ruth Henderson, BirminghamI miss British Rail. The service was all about passengers, not profit.
Steve Hardy, RhylBring back nationalisation to reduce fares and generate more revenue for the Country.
Jim Wingham, Saltburn-by-the-SeaWe need it back.
David SterrattIt wouldn’t cost anything to take franchises back into national ownership when they end, saving the government at least £2 billion in subsidies.
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.
Nancy NealSending good wishes from across the pond for success in your fight for a British Rail run for people, not profit.
Thomas Sutton, DerbyshireIf this government is so serious about going green then the railways should be sorted out!
Philip Blanksby, DerbyThe railways should be publicly run, publicly accountable, with profits ploughed back into the industry, not lining shareholders’ pockets.
Tim Murphy, PrestonThe prices are out of control.
Terence Johnstone, CleethorpesRail privatisation has been an expensive disaster.
George Jackson, LondonFinally get rid of the useless system that is only geared towards profits.
Roger Bridgman, LondonBritish Rail offered a good service. Left as it was, it would soon have reached the glossy standards of today’s overpriced, heavily subsidised private companies.
Marian Connolly, BristolTransport is too important to be left in the hands of those only interested in profits.
Les Bullock, CannockAnother privatisation disaster.
Andrew Polley, GloucesterBring back British Rail.
Marko Lauten, HI’d like to see the railway in public ownership again – in Germany as well as in the UK.
Bradley White, DerbyshireI agree.
Judith Stockwell, KetteringGive the railways back to the people.
TedI left British Rail in disgust when it was privatised. It was sickening the way every simple job ended up ten times more complicated in red tape and cost.
Christopher Brown, LeedsBring back British Rail and reverse Beeching!
Michael Edwards, LondonBetter for all users, for the economy, for the environment.
Amy Williams, South Woodham FerrersAbellio Greater Anglia are the worst company. I hope this really proves people are fed up and changes need to happen.
Sean Sayer, LondonThe nationalisation of the rail industry is one of the most important means of improving the environment and social mobility, and towards reducing regional inequality.
