Paul Riches, PaigntonAs well as rail, nationalise the bus and bring back the National Bus Company. Our infrastructure will then improve and we the people will be able to travel for work and leisure.
Mark Hyne, LiskeardSpeaks for itself
John McGuigan, GlasgowShareholders want their pound of flesh, but they don’t want to know about the debts accrued. Why aren’t the shareholders pursued to clear the debt?
Robert Harper, NottinghamPrivatisation hasn’t worked for the travelling public. Politicians, their friends, corporate bodies, the City etc. have profited from privatisation. It’s a public service.
Dave Boyle, GraysIt’s disgraceful. It never should have been allowed to be privatised.
Diane Baskerville, BirminghamPrivatisation just doesn’t work for infrastructure or utilities.
Stephanie Thomas, LondonBring back British Rail.
Garry Martin, SheffieldThe recent East Coast line experience shows it’s the only way to run the railways.
Dave Kavanagh, WokingEvery private railway has demonstrated their total inability to serve the nation. We cannot rely on the profiteering tendencies of private business.
Cliff Davies, Rhondda ValleyGreedy train operating companies who at the time of privatisation bought £10 notes for a fiver and set the tone for future privatisations, e.g. The Royal Mail.
Andrew Mahoney, MaidstoneI was a young boy when British Rail disappeared. My family were a part of the railway family. The change was for the worse.
Ben Brackenbury, ExeterEither bring back British Rail or the big four railway companies (GWR, LMS, LNER and Southern)
Philip Hodge, MiddlewichGive us back what is ours.
Gwilym Selwood, BrightonClearly Mrs Thatcher was right in her claims for privatisation. That’s why we are all here. Jolly well done. Thanks for everything.
Terence Charles Maddocks, BirminghamThat should never have de-nationalised it.
Tim Brewin, Ross-on-WyePrivatisation was one of the most short-sighted policies ever embarked on by a Government of any colour. Undo the damage now, and rationalise British Railways.
Jacqueline McEvoy, Birmingham14 years I served under British Rail, then cast aside under Virgin. They should never have been privatised.
Francis Gilbert, LondonPrivatisation of the rail network never worked. This is infrastructure.
Diane Sullivan, RedhillSouthern Fail. No more price hikes for a disgusting service.
Adam Hiley, UpminsterGood work for re-instating a vital service that should serve us not shareholders.
Igor Ryabukhin, LondonIt’s disgraceful that yearly tickets cost more than it costs to run an average car and the trains are late at least 50% of the time.
Joyce Laidler, RytonAnd British Gas and electricity and the water industries.
Huw Jones, FavershamReverse the Tory money-grabbing agenda.
Nancy NealIn the US the push for the privatisation of government functions and services has always resulted in reduced services at higher costs.
Lyn Boyd, DurhamRe-nationalise for a better service and increased effeciency. Public need before private profit.
Julie GriggOur railways are a disgrace now, expensive and too full of people to be safe, unless you are in first class.
Mark Harvey, ExeterI hope this campaign makes an impact. Fare prices have become utterly ridiculous.
Angela Brown, Haywards HeathHave one railway company, British Rail, for the safety and ease of travel that we should be able to expect.
Leanne Hubbard, SunderlandWe need to nationalise rail and all utilities – water and energy. This is the only way forward for job infrastructure, financial growth and for the environment.
Julie Barson, CoventryTrain journeys are a nightmare now, whereas travelling by train used to be a pleasure.
