Michelle Strange, LondonIt’s time we all stopped being fleeced by big business.
Nick Jackson, Harrow WealdEnough of the corrupt Tories ripping us all off. The railway should never have been privatised in the first place. Greedy profiteers..
Thomas McCausland, ManchesterNo more profit-sharing giants.
AlexIn order to have a fully integrated transport system, we also need to bring back the National Bus Company!
Malcolm Ross, EdinburghIt’s sad that railways are taking more public money now than before privatisation.
Michael Clifford, HinckleyStop the present rip-off of taxpayers’ money.
Pete Southerill, Bury St EdmundsProof shows that going private equals making huge profits and rips off people and pays people badly.
Daniel Williamson, FifeI was born in 1999 so I never knew what the railway was like before privatisation, but it was probably better than it is now.
Lisa Potter, NuneatonFair prices from a fair company. Bring back British Rail.
Terry Bennett, BirminghamPrivatising Britain’s railways was wrong. Train operating companies are interested in the shareholders and not the travelling public.
Kealey Castle, KentA system runs best when it isn’t sectioned off into pieces.
Bob Billington, MagorEnough of perpetual fare increases, no accountability, cattle class travel and excessive profits for train operators. It’s time to bring back a leaner, meaner BR.
Madeleine Pennock, MalvernSince privatisation buying and using the rail service has been so complicated and expensive.
Stan Smith, NottinghamIt should never have been privatised. Public utilities should be just that: of use to the public, not to hedge funds.
Bradley Clark, LondonThe sheer confusion of using our transport system makes me ashamed in other countries. The cost of train travel way surpasses travel by car.
John Peter Anderson, Newcastle-upon-TyneLet us see a genuine transport system made for the 21st Century. Britain is way behind Europe in rail travel. Think people not profit.
Alf Littler, KidlingtonThe 60s governments got it wrong and the Tories got it wrong in the 90s. We need publicly-run cost-effective railways, not to subsidise private firms to rip us off.
Alison Falivena, LutonWhy fix it when it is not broken.
Edward Moss, ManchesterAll privatisation does is create multimillionaires at taxpayers’ expense. Halting direct services because they encroach on other franchise areas is a disgrace.
Nicholas Hayes, DurhamPeople’s daily commute shouldn’t be left to free market greed.
Alessandro Marini, GlasgowThis is extremely important, not only for our economy, but for the people who live in this country. People are unable to see each other due to high travel fares.
Matthew Jenkins, WorcesterWhy are the Green Party the only main party supporting this popular and practical policy?
Raymond Raw, Seaton SluiceWhy sell it off if it works? Money for the boys.
Jennifer Andrew, BicesterBritish rail should be British Rail.
Tamora Burn, PlymouthBecause rail travel should be cheaper than travelling alone in a car.
Thomas Ashton, NottinghamBring it back. The people’s railway.
Rosemary CharlesDelighted to find a group which thinks as I have done since privatisation of the railway.
Neil Broomfield, WarringtonNationalisation please.
Douglas Arnold, WashingtonEast Coast is making money and they want to sell it off. It may finish up in foreign hands with our money going abroad, We need a joined-up railway system.
Anne Hugh-White, St. AustellBuying the correct tickets for the correct journey is a minefield and I have many other complaints.
