Karen Reeve, BedfordThe most expensive and poorly run service in Europe and we’re trying to get people off the roads. It’s never going to happen with such a miserable rail experience that we have.
Gareth Edwards, BathRail CEOs get huge bonuses while services get worse.
Simon Venters, LondonRailways are too expensive and not reliable.
Sarah Filmer, SouthamptonSo needed.
Simeon Green, IlkestonDo it yesterday.
William Edwards, DarlingtonA national railway owned and operated by the nation for the nation in the interests of the nation has to be one of the most important publicly owned strategic assets.
Andrew Spyrou, LondonA public service should be run for the public, not private profit.
Tony Brauer, JordansJust look at the East Coast line, and also note that, when foreign companies take over our public services, they’re usually state-owned companies.
Charlie Matthews, SwanleyI’m fed up with the service we get for the price we pay.
Jill Harland, DurhamLet’s put rail back in public ownership and stop private companies profiting from essential services.
Hazel Wood, East LintonAny form of public transport should be an integrated public service, designed and operated for the convenience of passengers who pay for it through paying their fares.
Alan Holmes, DurhamWell done. First step, save East Coast mainline.
Richard Longhurst, LondonNot only the rail network but the whole of the transport network should be brought back into public hands.
Nick Adams, BirminghamWe need a simple, affordable ticketing structure coupled with all the trains, tracks and stations being run by one publicly accountable body. That’s simple.
Joseph Knight, CambridgeLook at Europe’s railways then look at ours.
Malcolm Ross, EdinburghIt’s sad that railways are taking more public money now than before privatisation.
Josh Cranwell, Letchworth Garden CityThe companies running our rails are a joke. The prices we pay for the poor understaffed shoddy service is criminal and something has to be done.
David Mullin, PrestonRun for the benefit if the people not a few shareholders.
Karen Robertson, EdinburghAll profits should be invested in the services, not given to shareholders.
Alan Marshall, BostonGod protect us. Have you ever tried to buy a ticket via the Indian telephone No? It’s a nightmare.
Eileen Johnson, YorkLet’s stop this insanity and vanity and get real.
Roderick Neil Bruce, Fort WilliamAll public transport should be state-owned.
David Marsh, LondonWe wouldn’t be in the position where no-one gets the same rail privileges as staff did before 1994. That to me and many others is incredibly unfair.
Marie Hughes, SouthwellAs a regular user of the East Coast line, I fervently want the line to remain in public hands.
Eleanor ShortWe’re sick of the delays, extortionate ticket prices, overcrowding with lack of seating. Bring back British Rail for the better wealth of UK.
Pete Redwood, YorkEast Coast mainline is the most successful rail company in the past 20 years. Nationalised rail works. Bring back British Rail.
Simon Stoddart, HastingsBritish Rail had its faults but looks perfect compared to the multi-tier, bits-and-pieces shambles we have today.
William Docherty, GreenockGive us back our railways from the fat cats that are only in it to filter the good parts. Get all the land back from their pals in government. Give it back to the public.
Michal Benzinski, StroudA disastrous policy implemented for reasons of dogma. Our country needs a proper transport system, not a way of enriching private investors at our expense.
Bill Tasker, LiverpoolDismantling British Rail has led to chaos.
