Jane Lyddon, EdinburghLeaving East Coast Rail in public ownership would be a good start.
Iain Macleod-Brudenell, NottinghamI support the re-formation of British Rail. The current un-unified service has caused me numerous problems
Elizabeth Collier, LiverpoolA nationalised rail system in Britain would bring more efficient service for customers. In addition workers would be proud to work for the good of people not profit.
Elizabeth Hodgetts, ChesterfieldBritish Rail was one of the few companies that offered a cohesive service through the UK. Bring it back and give us value for money.
Sue Crathorne, BirminghamBR fell apart when greedy politicians started meddling. It should be run with no political agenda providing a good service at a fair price and provide jobs for the UK.
Patricia Crow, JarrowIt should be a service, not a cash cow for shareholders.
Geoffrey Allen, CramlingtonI wholeheartedly support your campaign to re-nationalise the UK rail network.
Bill Allen, ManchesterWe need to bring back British Rail on a “not for profit” basis in order that we have a safe and prompt railway in the UK.
Ian Ellison, NorthleachMass Transit systems around the world are subsidised or state-owned. Private ownership combines minimum service levels and maximum cost.
Debbie Stephenson, SouthportWe need to remove road traffic and the return to rail is not helped by greedy private ownership. We must have a re-unified rail network. This is not rocket science.
John Shuker, CarlisleThe railways are a vital public service that should be owned by the people and be run for the people.
Philip Bridges, BrightonBring it home!
John Perkins, LondonTake it out of the hands of profiteers.
Annette Baker, LondonThe railways should never have left public ownership.
Philipa Coughlan, Bexhill-on-SeaJoin the national protest on April 1st.
Keith Gunstone, MachynllethStop HS2 and spend the money on improving regional lines.
Risa Duff, BuryIt has deteriorated so much and, in order to get a decently priced ticket, you have to book three months in advance and sometimes that is not possible to do.
David Skuse, MorpethThe privatisation of rail has given us a mess. Millions of pounds spent on advisors and lawyers could be spent on services. It’s idiotic to sell successful East Coast .
Claire Wilkinson, BedaleThe current rail service is not good for taxpayers or consumers and was a poor decision made by government.
Joe Mullen, LiverpoolIt was better then anyway.
Bernice Broggio, GatesheadPrivatisation is a right wing ideology that does not work with industries that need to be countrywide and where some areas need to be supported by others.
Les Lazell, PeterboroughIt’s our railway and should not be for private profit.
Thomas Lamb, MiddlewichPlease bring the rail network back into public ownership. Privatisation hasn’t worked in the interest of the general public..
David Merry, BedfordOwnership of the railways should never have been taken away from the people to line the pockets of state-funded fat cats.
Stuart Malcolm, PenicuikFar too much profit going into people’s pockets, and not enough going back into the British Rail network.
Sarah Robinson, LiverpoolPublic transport should be exactly that. accessible to the public with ease and affordable..
Barry Lukins, BridgwaterBring the railways back into the public domain, where the taxpayer of this country will have a bigger say on how to run the system. Now we are being ripped off.
Chris Manvell, Isle of SkyeIn general, I feel that all essential nation-wide facilities and services should belong to the people and not to private companies whose main purpose is profit.
Craig Thomas, ManchesterThe railways should be run as a public good, for public benefit, not for profit to shareholders.
Michele Morrod, WorthingWe want a decent rail service. We deserve it and God knows we pay enough for it.
