Jamie Spilsbury, MerseysidePrivatisation has taken its toll on the whole railway system in Britain, turning it into a complete mess, not to mention train fares going up year after year.
Chris Hoade, CardiffAnd bring back BR blue too.
Brian RacherWhat we need now is a return of British Rail, in whatever form it may take, to get everything back under one roof.
Robert Taylor, ChorleyGive it back.
Michael Miles, SwindonThe people who pay are the passengers. Look after them and bring back British Rail. Even blue and grey coaches are welcome!
Daniel Pearce, Ebbw ValeIt’s already subsidised so why not re-nationalise?
Martina Lednicka, GravesendI commute every day and the service is awful. I’m delayed on a nearly daily basis but because the delays are for less than 30 minutes it means I’m not entitled to compensation.
Sally Collings, BridportPublic transport should be provided as a service and not be subject to profit.
Gil Southwood, LondonI saw it on the back cover of Private Eye and it represents the sentiment I have held for a long time.
John Stobbie, MelbourneBritish rail used to be good when I was there but now it is crap. Services like this should always be government-owned. They should be for the people, not private profit.
John Evans, WestburyI’m a former BR employee at Westbury. Because of privitisation I was made redundant.It was a very sad day.
Derek Pearson, Southend-on-SeaSimply take contracts back in-house as they expire. It is so simple.
Relsov Obshtestven, Sofia, BulgariaWe support you 100%. In Bulgaria government wants to sell our railways too and systematically to ruin our Bulgarian State Railways (BDZ).
Adam Hiley, UpminsterWe need a cheap, efficient, publicly-owned transport network similar to Deutsche Bahn in Germany.
Paul English, EastbourneBring back British Rail.
Mitul Gohil, LutonPlease get rid of Thameslink.
Nigel McAdam, ManchesterPublic service not private profit. It’s that simple.
Jennie C-Knight, CromerPrivatisation drives up prices and encourages companies to make too much money out of a public service.
Bernard Freudenthal, LondonRail privatisation has been a gravy train for incompetent private companies. The chaos of it is staggering. Other national railways are walking off with profits from us.
Jamie Bramwell, CheshireBring back not only British Rail, but all water, gas, electric and banks – all into public ownership and get this country back on track!
Simon Alcock, WhitbyToo much taxpayers’ money going into private hands.
Paul Grayshan, LeedsAfter BR, can we do water, electricity, gas, and buses please?
Niall Mason, WhittonThe cost of commuting by train Is disproportionately more expensive in the UK than in the rest of Europe. It’s disgusting.
Eriks Teteris, ReadingHow could anyone have tried to privatise, and make what is a core service to the nation a profit making industry? Now there’s a good idea to make it all go wrong.
Karen Orosky, BedfordPrivatisation of so much in the UK is destroying this country.
Rod Galilee, WarkworthEast Coast has out-performed all other rail service providers in recent years. A true indication that it should be government run for us and not for private owners.
David Curley, LondonWe absolutely need a unified, affordable national system/service.
Jennifer Duckitt, BradfordToo often the prices are too high and the quality of service too low. Bring back British Rail.
Stephen Atkins, EdinburghThe private rail companies are getting more subsidy than BR ever received. They get compensated when things go wrong. They cannot lose. Time to renationalise.
Phil SimpsonThe private railway is not more efficient. It is interested only in the bottom line, not providing any kind of a service.
