Paul Ross, LetchworthPeople don’t want to see the true cost of privatisation. They have heads buried in the sand.
Anne Mead, TewinAs a social necessity, trains cannot provide an effective and fair service run on a ‘for profit only’ basis.
Marina Matosic, BoltonMy commute from Bolton to Manchester is beyond belief. It is far worse than any journey on the London Underground.
Carol Wilson, Saffron WaldenLet’s have a government with common sense. Is that too much to ask for? Apparently so.
Giles Hannaford, ShrewsburyBring back a cheaper, cleaner and more reliable service.
Jennifer Craig, Fredensborg, DenmarkA UK citizen living temporarily in Denmark, aware of the benefits of state-owned railways and a joined-up system. See DSB and Rejseplanen – Britain needs the same.
Fran Waight, HertfordWe would have a better and cheaper railway if it was re-nationalised.
Howard Berry, Old HatfieldBetter service for the whole public, not bigger profits for private shareholders.
Cora Lowe, Stockton-on-TeesEast Coast in public hands has given big profits to the government. We should not be giving all the profits to those who are already superrich.
Gareth Brown, LondonNo more rip-offs – by the people, for the people.
Ian Whitehead, NottinghamThe subsidies the private companies are getting are obscene.
Luke Norris, BrightonTake it away from profiteers who cherry-pick services and disregard less popular routes and vital investment.
Ross Dobson, LondonTime to get Britain’s trains back on track.
Chris Gray, InverbervieThe British rail network is an embarrassment in comparison to most EU countries, with high fares and minimal services.
Francis Goy, RetfordBritish Rail.
Aaron M, East SussexThe kind of mass expansion, electrification and renovation needed to bring the UK’s railways into the 21st century cannot be accomplished with franchises.
Katherine Stansfield, Frinton on SeaPlease re-nationalise British Rail services.
Alan George, YorkHow can we stop the new East Coast franchise?
Margaret Westbrook, StretfordGreat. This is Green party policy. Join us too.
Andrew Walker, YorkKeep East Coast mainline nationalised – it’s the best railway in the country.
Richard Abram, DurhamMoney currently going to shareholders could be invested in the railway and in a properly coordinated public transport system.
Ian Shaw, BrightonPrivatisation of the railways has completely failed the nation.
Dennis Browne, PeterboroughGive it back and stop privatising. We own it, the people of the United Kingdom.
Mary T Johnston, EdinburghBring it back. It works for the people.
Mike Bond, BristolLet’s get people moving on the trains at a good price. All working together. Unify our rail.
Janice Scott, NorwichCheap tickets should not depend on finding the best website. They should be easily and openly available to all.
Isabel MorganI’ve had enough of Southeastern – they’re unreliable and too expensive.
Jeremy Wildeman, ExeterThe service is terrible, confusing and incredibly expensive. Fix this awful rail system and help the UK work.
Brian Edge, HolsworthyNationalised industries provide service while privatised industries only want profits at any cost.
Mick Knights, Waltham CrossTransport for the people by the people, not for profit. All service industries must be publicly owned and all monies ploughed back into the service.
