Daniel Stapley, FolkestoneThey should never have been split up in the first place. A national, essential service that has gone to the wall.
Grace Whyte, GlasgowRailways and infrastructure are privately owned and, as a taxpayer, I’m still paying for it. I’d rather own it with the rest of the people.
Neil Broomfield, WarringtonNationalisation please.
Jacqui Morris, ClactonMore good public transport, fewer cars.
Ian Scarlat, BradfordBring it back to the people.
Chris Hardy, CheshireRe-nationalise British Rail and give us our reliability back.
Maurice Spurway, ExeterWe need to bring back our assets into public ownership, starting with our Railway.
Paul Hawkins, CardiffWhat’s the hold up? Get it done.
Vicki Gilbert, North ShieldsI am chair of Tyne and Wear public transport users’ group. This is a network of 15 organisations fighting for an integrated public transport system.
Dennis Pocock, WokingThe railway industry is costing far more to run privatised than ever it did under British Rail.
Bruce Scott, Leigh-on-SeaI am an occasional user, not a commuter. On those occasions when I do travel the dis-service afforded to rail users by the current shambles is more than apparent.
Ray Goodwin, TotnesI’m a full time student studying art and design at Exeter. A return for me from Totnes is £11.70..with a rail card. That’s daylight robbery.
Oska Lake Thomas, LeedsPublic ownership for public goods.
John Seymour, Tadcaster.The rail network needs to be unified, and as the East Coast main line proves, running under public ownership after two private company failures, a profit can be made.
Joanna Heap, DerbyPlease nationalise our railways as the industry is in tatters currently
Ben Chivers, BristolIt makes the most sense for the railways to be run by one organisation, however, the less involvement by the government the better. They just mess it up.
John Ward, BirminghamThese railway companies are rubbish. Definitely bring back British Rail.
Matthew Hewson, LouthBring it back to British Rail.
Malcolm Love, SteyningThis sort of concerted action by ordinary people is long overdue. The evidence of privatised rail failure stares us in the face.
Peter Gunn, GlasgowWe are the users. It was ours. Please return it.
Andrew Moody, VerwoodThe UK requires a modern integrated and efficient railway which privatisation has failed to deliver. It should be re-nationalised without delay.
Gloria McCargo, LiverpoolBritish Rail was great.
Nik Dadson, RoystonWe subsidise rail firms with our taxes, pay way over the top for season tickets from our pre-taxed wages and get an awful service. Profits go to shareholders.
Stuart Malcolm, PenicuikFar too much profit going into people’s pockets, and not enough going back into the British Rail network.
Gay Whymark, WarwickshireI yearn for the day when British Rail comes back into public ownership. Only Jeremy Corbyn will pledge this.
Mark Waterer, AshfordRailways were privatised so why is the government spending £50bn to build a new line only to hand it over to a private operator for the benefit of a few people?
Emma Andrews, TruroBring back British Rail.
Hereward Pooley, LondonWhen I was a student I commuted to South Sussex every weekend. This was affordable. Now it would not be.
Matthew Dalziel, DundeeA national rail network should offer affordable transport to the nation and thereby decrease the environmental cost of excessive private car use.
Geoffrey Taunton, Montmorillon, FranceI’d visit England much more frequently if it had a coherent rail system.
