Gabriel Miles, NottinghamI’m afraid this may be pointless, seeing how much it would cost to buy it all back, but it must be proven that selling it was wrong in the first place.
Evan Jenkins, PooleThe railway needs its efficiency and respect it once had. It will also create more jobs for the people who want work in the rail industry.
David Grey, North ShieldsIt is madness that the profits from Britain’s vital infrastructure (and utilities) go to foreign owners when they should be re-invested in Britain and its workforce.
Geraldine McCarthy, ErithFares are too expensive.
Alan Stewart, MotherwellLook at East Coast Trains for inspiration.
Scott Foy, PaisleyTrain travel in the UK is far too expensive for such a poor service.
Steve Fishwick, LondonBring it back and let’s run the service for all the people and not for the profits for a few. Think of what good all that money could do for the industry and more.
David Lomas, Hemel HempsteadBring back BR.
Jean Das Gupta, LondonBring back British Rail and all privatised industries – gas, electricity, water. If we are going to frack for oil the profits should go to the nation not royals.
Gail Richard, BracknellUsing trains often lets my wheelchair-user husband down, with rudeness from staff and lack of space. The expense of using trains cannot compete with using a car.
Keith Brighty, YorkIt’s easy to do by letting current franchises run out and not renewing them.
Ruth Sanchez, BrightonSouthern Rail are hopeless, useless and a total disgrace. They charge the highest fares in Europe yet providing the most awful and unreliable service.
Thom BallaBritish Rail, so misunderstood, so unloved. They killed you
Kyle Cadwallader, LiverpoolThe rail system is shocking. They say trains are always on time yet they are not. If my software deployments where always late, I would have no job.
Linda Barker, LeedsRe-nationalise our assets.
Richard Carnill, WorthingFares have become too expensive. The railways should work for the benefit of the community, not to reward shareholders. Customer service at the moment is non-existent.
Ann B Bell, LissPlease re-unify national rail network and run it for the nation, not for private profit.
Denis Tweedy, Newcastle-upon-TyneWe bitched about the sandwiches at the time but my goodness do we miss a fully integrated affordable system?
Linda Johnson-Laird, Waltham AbbeyI’m totally behind this movement. Bring it on.
Denise Bret, LondonIt is definitely time that railways are taken out of the private sector and run for the public not for enrichment of the few.
Benjamin Blake, CrawleyBring it back to the people.
Les Bullock, CannockAnother privatisation disaster.
Shahram Parvin, LondonPrivatisation has not improved services but has increased ticket prices and increased the wealth gap in the population.
Ardal Hall, SunderlandLNER should stay public and no longer be franchised.
Hannah Holroyd, ColchesterToo expensive for such an unreliable service. The new increase is an absolute joke from out-of-touch people with no experience of the service.
Yasser Sheikh, High WycombeIt’s terrible. I take so many train journeys a year and it’s all Virgin Trains – so expensive.
Martin Jones, LondonWe have the opportunity to make public services work well, and avoid the compromises of the first British Rail.
Robin Richardson, Walton-on-ThamesIf East coast can do it with such great service then bring it on.
Robert Taylor, BarnsleyBack into public ownership now.
Lucy Renton, LondonThe train service in this country is vastly overpriced, ticketing system labyrinthine, and not fit for purpose.
