Alan Roberts, DingwallPublic rail transport isn’t working. It’s no longer a reliable way of getting to where you need to be on time. In the north of Scotland people are returning to their cars.
Paul Mountain, NottinghamIt was a ridiculous idea in the first place to carve up a network.
Mark Jordan, Port TalbotPrivatisations were always implemented so that friends of the Party were able to become fat cats.
Farouk Sohawon, LondonBringing the railway network into public ownership will put some order in and focus on the industry.
Wanda Tarr, LondonWe rail users are being ripped off compared to Europe. Thank you.
Alan Cole, OxtedWhat a waste. Bring back BR who ran a service for the people not the shareholders or franchises.
Thomas Corbett, LondonWhen German state railways are expatriating profits from UK rail passengers, to invest back into more efficient and cheaper rail in Germany, you know we need change.
Chris Williams, BromleyProfit before service has gone on for too long.
Gary James, LondonBring back British Rail so we can get people in Great Britain working again.
David Butcher, CarlisleBritish Rail was safer. The rail system we have now is dangerous.
William Docherty, GreenockGive us back our railways from the fat cats that are only in it to filter the good parts. Get all the land back from their pals in government. Give it back to the public.
David Solomons, SaleThe privatisation was a mistake in the first place. Railways are for people, not investors.
Marian Prowse, PenzanceWe have a fragmented service, expensive and uncomfortable. We need an investment in good rail infrastructure without profits for shareholders. No efficiency in that.
Suleman Ahmed, LondonNationalisation for a national asset.
Ulla Vangsgaard, WakefieldReliable, affordable public transport would help save fossil fuels, reduce greenhouse emissions and population stress, and make Great Britain a healthier, happier place.
Van Tran, NottinghamBusinesses are in it for their shareholders, not for the benefit of the people who use the trains.
Donald Peddie, SunburyIt’s Britain’s shame and we still subsidise it.
Patrick Turner, LondonHaving numerous private rail companies did not work in the 19th century and still does not work in the 21st century.
Peter Rose, WorcesterBring back a unified publicly-run transport system.
Ronald Davies, WarringtonThe best rail systems are subsidised and not run for private profit.
C L Gamble, DundeeAward winning companies stripped of their franchises & worse… the march downward to profit focused services above all other concerns is harmful on so many levels.
Mohammed Asif, LutonNationalise now.
Malcolm Young, SittingbourneIf we are subsidising a railway, should we not own and control it?
J B Barrington, YorkAll the railways should be re-nationalised. There should never be a profit made from a public service.
N J T Lauro, WirralPrivatisation did nothing but put shareholders first and customers last. It always has done and always will do.
Kieran O’Malley, LeedsAs a musician I have to travel all across the UK paying extortionate prices.
Alex Williams, BradfordHaving a nationalised train service is essential to providing our country with an effective, affordable and consistent service.
Jane Little, LiverpoolPlease, please can we have our` railway back. It makes sense financially and in terms of organisation and customer service.
Meic Batten, MaestegThe present set up is wasteful.
John Mathew, ManchesterNo more franchises.
