Julian Balmford, AylesburyMaybe if we achieve this then we can start with the Water Companies?
Helen Kara, UttoxeterLet’s make British Rail the great asset it could be for our country, rather than the current hotchpotch of incompetence.
Pauline StephensThings have gone too far with this non-integrated railway with money lost to shareholders and individuals which could have been better used.
Pamela Phelan, WallaseyPublic services such as rail, bus, health etc. should be in public ownership, run on a no-profit basis for the good of the community and not to line the fat cats’ pockets.
Jeff Fox, HuddersfieldPrivatisation was never the right idea.
Emma Brown, LondonIt shouldn’t cost £50 for a student to go home and visit his family.
Maggie Cooke, LondonThis is ridiculous – the rich get richer at the poor’s expense.
Robert Jones, BirminghamService not profit.
Paula Boakes, PontefractKeep it simple. Public ownership for an effective public service.
Kevin Parkinson, PrestonLet’s have a railway to be proud of, not abused or neglected by fat cats and politicians.
Mary Greer, LondonAs London gets more expensive to live in, more and more of us will have to commute, but £3,000-5,000 a year is totally ludicrous.
Jason Garrett, LouthThe rail network needs to be returned to the nation. It has become all about profit, yet it is being subsidised with millions of pounds of public money.
Tess Green, BristolThe Green Party wants rail in public ownership and so do I.
Anthony Hill, CreweBring back British Rail and stop the Tory destruction of the country’s infrastructure.
Roger Payne, HarpendenThere are some services and utilities that are too important to be in private hands, energy, health, education amongst them.
Maurice Thomas, UxbridgeExpect nothing to happen with the Tories.
Thomas Knowler, Tunbridge WellsBring back nationalised rail, please.
Julia Mulchrone, LondonBring back nationalised public services for the public who actually use the services, not the greedy fat cat capitalists in private jets.
Joshua Dessapt, LognesIn France, we are about to make the same mistake. The railway to the people.
Natalia Hamon, PenzanceIt is important that our tax money is invested properly in a nationalised, efficient service, affordable to passengers.
Robert Coleman, LiverpoolLet’s do it now.
Tony Hoad, IlfordThe present system is fragmented and needs a common co-ordinated approach.
Andrew Clark, Barrow in FurnessWhy does it cost seven times more to get a train from Barrow to London than it does to get a plane from Manchester to Spain? This is unacceptable.
Linda Cieslik, YorkPrivatisation has led to fragmentation of the service. Only the private companies gain, not the tax-paying public – as predicted.
Julia Coryton, SouthwarkPrices of train fares are ridiculous. I hate the 4 hours of standing on an extremely overcrowded train to see my family so much so that I rarely see them anymore.
Margaret Crisp, EdinburghThey should never have been sold off to greedy private companies who have ripped off the travelling public ever since.
Hudson Godwin, Arusha, TanzaniaFast transport ensures easy mobility of people and their goods. In the future it’s important for the Tanzanian government to look upon its railway networks.
Madeleine Howell, BathPrivatising the railways was the most stupid political decision after Beeching’s Axe. It’s time to do something about it.
Jack McRobbie, IpswichTrain services need to be better in every way so why not re-nationalise?
Paul Tate, WakefieldDo not privatise East Coast. It is a fantastic service.
