Nic Hubbard, YorkThe fact that the infrastructure and major stations had to be nationalised anyway means that simply nationalising the whole thing makes total sense to me.
Lee Ward, LondonWith the present divisive system there is no co-ordination, only feeble excuses.
Nick Shields, Hebden BridgeJust another of a myriad reasons to revolt.
Richard Butterworth, WorthingRailways are very much the life-blood of this country and are a public service for public interests and thus should not be run by private companies for private profits..
David SterrattBritish Rail was cheaper for taxpayers and for passengers than the current privatised system.
David Marsh, LondonThe reason why the railways were privatised was because they were poorly managed.
Mohammed Asif, LutonNationalise now.
Mike Falchikov, EdinburghTotal re-nationalisation is probably unfeasible. Infrastructure (Railtrack) should be publicly-owned.
Noel Hibbert, CoventryWe need a centrally owned, planned and co-ordinated rail network, with user friendly rail stations focussed on train travel not supermarkets.
Ann Scott, BirminghamAnything would be an improvement and one single operation would make booking easier. People not profits should be the top priority for such services.
Matt Hessing, IlfracombeBring back British Rail.
Pat McCarthy, ClevelandTransport for people and environment, not for profit.
Paul Blackwell, ThealeI’d like a rail system where I can afford and understand the tickets, not one where I make fat cats richer.
Natalie Clarke, LondonEnd privatisation.
Martin Lakie, WorcesterEnd fragmentation, ridiculous complexity, huge hidden subsidies and profiteering now.
Ronald Davies, WarringtonThe best rail systems are subsidised and not run for private profit.
Alan Keenan, GlasgowBring all the Rail franchises back into public ownership. Then they’ll be out of the money grabbers and their cash rich benefactors
Alex Southern, LondonIntercity, the first profitable BR sector and envy of the world unmercifully butchered first. Bring back British Rail.
Jacqueline Marriott, LeicesterNothing they do surprises me any more.
Gwyn Davies, Wrexham.British Rail should be nationalised as should more of Britain’s privatised industries.
Sue McCall, LlanfairpwllgwyngyllCheck out the pathetic rail service in North Wales. Who cares?
Duncan Stone, Hebden BridgeBring it back.
Dean Brown, EnfieldRe-nationalise our railways.
Antoine Legris, NewcastleJust bring it back into public ownership. No-one believes in that privatisation rubbish these days. We’ve been conned too many times.
C Haines, LondonThe lines destroyed by Beeching must be reinstated, and the entire system ring-fenced from all banking influence and run as a not-for-profit public service.
David And Sonia Crow, BedfordRail travel should return to being owned by the people of the UK.
Alan Milne, EdinburghThe national rail network should be run for the benefit of the nation, not just for the profit of the few.
Kenneth Robson, RushdenThe railways were taken into public ownership because the private sector was in an absolute mess and so the railways are again in an absolute mess.
Alan Smith, AshbournePrivatising BR was an act of idiocy.
Kayey Ellen, LondonRailways operate so much better when in public ownership. Best outcome for everyone involved.
