Thomas Edwin Eddleston, OldhamThey should never have been privatised in the first place.
Richard Drew, BristolWhatever your political views, this is privatisation that has never worked. Let subsidies help passengers not private rail companies.
Jonathan Brown, LondonAside from the economic case, there is something incredibly romantic about travelling on a railway system that is collectively owned by every British citizen.
Andy Mizzi, MorecambeYou know it makes sense.
Mike Powell, SeascaleI fully agree with the concept of an integrated public service. British Rail – HST, East and West Coast Electrification, so many successes.
Edward Wilson, ChedistonWe need to bring British Rail as well as the rest of the UK infrastructure into public ownership.
Peter Taft, NottinghamOne system. Then we’d know where we stand – where / what / who will deal with things, not running around like headless chickens.
Crawford Gillies, TroonI believe the trains should be in public hands.
Nikki Wood, TodmordenTrains for the people not for profit.
Danny Pritchard, LondonIf the government had pumped as much into British Rail as they have into all the private companies, we’d have the best bloody train system in the world.
Ian Cumming, Newton MearnsWhy don’t the Labour party back this? Why, it might get them some votes.
Elaine Armstrong, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe rail services have deteriorated enormously since privatisation and fares just go up and up. Privatisation equals bad service, full stop.
John Hinds, LondonRe-invest profits from a re-unified national railway system back into the network. Any surplus can go into our NHS or for building new homes.
Paul Edwards, WolverhamptonBring back British Rail. Stop ripping off the British public.
Felicity Whyte, Shoreham by SeaGot to be less rubbish.
Peter Challis, OxfordWe need a unified, affordable and expanded railway network run in the interests of the public not to increase the profits of Stagecoach and their ilk.
Angela Barker, WiganThe railways should be run for the benefit of the community and not to make profit for shareholders and pay huge salaries to the directors.
Angela Lemay, WinkleighBring it back into public ownership because profit and service don’t mix.
A TanServices by the people for the people. Over £2 for a cup of tea on some of our trains.
Geoff Wilson, SheffieldYes, we’ve tried privatisation and it has made a complete mess of public transport. Let’s go back to what the rest of the world respects UK for, not for profit service.
B Tends King, EdinburghDogma does not run efficient trains.
Sheena Best, Co. KerryIt should never have been privatised! This campaign has come not a moment too soon – all the best with it!
Linda Harte, BourneIf the right (qualified but not greedy) staff at the top were to be appointed, we the British public could have a well run, efficient, and affordable train service.
Norman Sullivan, NottinghamYes please, we can run it better and cheaper with 1st class service.
Janet Stanton, BathA united rail network under one management team is essential.
Theodora Ford, ColchesterTransport is a vital service. It cannot be left in the hands of a disjointed collection of private concerns who’s first priority is to make a profit at our expense.
Bruce Baillie, CleckheatonWe need a decent transport system and we haven’t got one.
Sean Armstrong, LondonHaving lived and travelled in mainland Europe, I now know we have the worst and worst value trains. It needs to change.
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.
Anne Booth, HuddersfieldIt should never have been privatised in the first place. The Conservative government stole it from the nation and we want it back.
