Anne Mead, TewinAs a social necessity, trains cannot provide an effective and fair service run on a ‘for profit only’ basis.
Kaitlin MilfordTicket prices keep rising but services are no better. Where’s the benefit for those of us paying for the service?
Steven Feven-Parsons, PlymouthI have wanted this for 27 years now.
Ian Hendry, PerthOne company, one goal.
Jason Blean, GlasgowBring us into line with France, Germany, Italy, Canada, the US and others – reasonable rail fares – it’s a necessity.
Ross Manning, DoverBring back British Rail. Much more reliable.
Pete Fox, BrightonPlease bring back British Rail.
Maureen Sharpe, BradfordIt, like a lot of other publicly-owned companies, should never have been sold off to start with.
Allan Hall, YorkBR had such a poor reputation as a brand I am not surer we want it back, but we certainly don’t want the current system.
Patrick Adams, BarnstapleThe current system is too complicated and unaccountable and civil servants would be too involved in micro-management. Let the railway be run by professionals again.
Barbara McCartney, KirkcaldyPrivatisation should never have happened.
Peter Harris, SouthamptonRail transport is a national asset. Treat it like one.
Adrian Willats, WaterloovilleI started using BR in the 1970s, along with National Bus Company buses. I see nothing wrong with state-owned transport and I support this campaign. I must get the T-shirt.
Andy Horridge, CheadleStart with the rail companies and then all utilities – gas, water, electricity. They may have been sold to British companies by the Witch but now are in the hands of foreigners.
Jordan Cuff, CorshamBring it back.
Stuart Jones, LincolnEast Coast has worked fine under public ownership recently. Why change it?
Lewis Mitchell, LondonA train with room for bicycles would be nice. South West Trains are always woefully underprepared.
Richard Bell, DerbyThe private sector is responsible for some of the biggest economic health and safety disasters, whilst extorting the British public.
Yann-Eric D’addario, LondonEnough sky-high fares, increasing year in year out for a service that is only becoming worse and only profit driven.
David Secker, EalingWe need to get the Labour and Lib Dem view on this. Of course do not forget. The Green Party. I am pretty sure which side they are on. Forget about the Tories.
Charlotte Warne Thomas, LondonFed up with the swindle of private corporations creaming off public subsidy and providing shoddy service!
Mike Norris, AlnmouthEast Coast have shown the way. Public sector can do it profitably.
Josh Welby, LondonBring back British Rail. Now With Investment and reopening closed lines.
John Shaw, SeahamTories will never understand that these essentials belong to the British public and are not to be used to line their pockets or those of their evil rich friends.
Paula Boakes, PontefractKeep it simple. Public ownership for an effective public service.
Phil Nicholson, NottinghamIt would get rid of the chaos of having several different train companies charging different amounts for the same journeys.
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?
Claire Davenport, DoncasterAll major services in my mind should be brought back into re-nationalisation and should never have been sold in the first place.
Amanda Mulholland, BirminghamIt should never have been sold off. Fat cats got fatter.
David Preston, DarlingtonMy father worked for BR for 24 years until his retirement. He saw the best and the worst of government interference. We need change now before it’s too late.
