Alex Brammer, King’s LynnIt is sad and disappointing to see our national rail companies exploit us rail users. Rail is the only possible means of transportation for those who do not drive.
Peter Stoodley, BradfordNo compensation for any of the companies currently running the railways. They’ve had quite enough already.
John ConleyReturning to British Rail would simplify all the Ticket Clerks’ jobs greatly.
Donal Shea, LondonThe political party willing to take this action will have a powerful example of how they are resisting the idea of profit for the few over the welfare of the many.
Joe Shaw, ManchesterWe need to take back what is collectively ours and run it for the collective good and profit as a nation, for us and for our visitors, not just for the 1% who profit from us.
Marilyn Moore, DarlingtonAs a child (I’m now 65) I travelled everywhere by train. I’ve been on trains across Europe in recent years and found them affordable and efficient but I can’t afford them here.
Chris Wrigley, West BridgfordEver-rising prices, overcrowded trains and immense subsidies from taxes to fatten profits.
Bill Murphy, YorkThe Government should be running the rail lines, not the shareholders.
Sheila Lovett, Newton AbbotLet’s bring sense back at last.
Mark Smithson, WorksopNot-for-profit and all excesses put back into the service would be the minimum requirement. Better still back into public hands.
Adrian Sedgwick, BlackpoolIt’s about time the customers were considered, with the companies yielding a smaller profit margin, to accommodate cheaper fares.
Matthew Ross Rachar, LondonWhat are we waiting for?
Phil Davison, Stratford-upon-AvonI’m with the campaign. Bring back BR.
Janina Leitch, KeighleyA comprehensive rail service was arguably the greatest British achievement, exported all over the world. Invaluable part of our infrastructure.
Stephen Bellamy, HarrogateThe railways should be re-nationalised as they can be run far more efficiently with more profits to the state and less subsidies costing the taxpayer.
Helen Flyn, PeterboroughYou knew where you stood with British Rail.
Maryam Shakiba, LondonRailways are a public service and should be state run and not for private profit.
Dei Matheson, Kyle of LochalshUnder nationalisation trains mainly ran on time, journeys were uncomplicated and fares affordable. Now vast profits are used for high salaries and bonuses and not re-invested.
Tom Norman, LondonI’ve had enough of Southern Railways.
Pip Banham, NorwichTake it back and don’t waste millions on making the London to Birmingham run quicker. It is not needed.
Beth Kenny, ManchesterAs a victim of the shambles that is NorthernFail, I support re-nationalisation.
Debbie Wood-Holland, WellingboroughHow can a train trip cost so much? Convenient for rail companies, not the public. So get your snouts out of the trough please.
John Oliver, BournemouthDirectly owned East Coast railways is proving the best of our railway companies. Let’s follow that great example.
Philip Knight, North PethertonMy Father spent 41 yrs on the railway, from cleaner to top link driver, Royal Train et al. He said it would go to pot.
Martin Putt, South PethertonI back nationalised rail services as I am a passenger who has experienced high ticket prices, uncomfortable seating and delays many times.
Timothy Boland, LondonWhy does the government pay our tax money to subsidise the railway and yet the train operators make millions in profit?
Clare Gumm, StevenageTransport for public, not for profit. It is called infrastructure.
Linda Connor, Milton KeynesWith the railways being run by different companies it results in job cuts at Springburn, Glasgow and Wolverton Works for example.
Andrew Morton, HuddersfieldTrains constantly late, outrageously poor capacity, fare hikes every year, compensation services are awful. This has not worked. End privatisation for good.
John Norman, AshfordPrivatisation has made us realise how good British Railways really were. The East Coast line is well run and makes a profit, bringing in money to the Treasury.
