Andy Teed, DevonI work on the railways and I believe that it would be easier and better to have British Rail.
Michael Neal, King’s LynnIt should never have left public ownership in the first place.
Barbara Brogan, LetchworthPrivatisation may be cheaper short tern, but if the railways were publicly-owned any future profits would benefit the country not shareholders.
Peter McQueen, CreweBring it back into public ownership.
Rowan Brock, ChesterJust because London is where the money is, it isn’t where all the people are. We deserve better, not for the profits, but because we deserve and need it.
Ann Hill, MansfieldCarry on fighting. Together we can do it.
Ian Hayward, BasingstokeHow can you run a railway and claim maximum customer service when you are also giving millions of pounds to shareholders who contribute nothing?
Mike Bond, BristolBring back into British hands.
Claire Card, Shoreham-by-SeaIf the government puts the same amount of money into British Rail as it has into the private sector we would have a good, cheaper network.
Richard Bird, CharingWe need a countrywide strategy for our rail network based on public service, not a fragmented greed-driven huggermugger of disparate trough feeders.
Adrian Walker, LancasterCommon sense.
Wesley Barrett, BrightonWe cannot let this continue any more and we need to stand up and be counted.
Charlie Deeney, DerryRe-nationalise immediately. The service is poor and the prices disgraceful.
Alastair Smith, BingleyAfter 19 years of being informed that “we are getting there”, I see no improvement on the legacy of the British Railways Board in 1994. In fact a deterioration is evident.
Nick Haeffner, LondonOut with the miserable, gouging private sector vampires – Atos, Serco and G4S are a disgrace too. Get rid of them all.
Colleen Townsend, AylesburyPlease re-nationalise the railways and make them as efficient as East Coast Trains.
Alison Goodrick, Barrow-in-FurnessBring back British Rail. Current rail travel is too complicated, too expensive and not user-friendly. I travelled on better, easier, cheaper trains in Romania and in Rome.
Henriette McPartlin, MissionPublic transport is more sustainable.
John Stewart, IrvineWhen is the government going to learn that privatisation does not work.
Eirug Griffiths, NeathSince BR was privatised by the government it is now run by different companies. These companies hike up the fares every year and provide a poor service for high prices.
Paul Strong, LondonIn the late 1970s it was the most efficient rail network in the World other than Japan.
Bob Bryson, EdinburghBloody stupid idea to privatise it in the first place.
Mark Harvey, ExeterI hope this campaign makes an impact. Fare prices have become utterly ridiculous.
Helen Dixon, HoveDefinitely.
David Kaye, CambridgeYes – and every time a new company takes over, that fat cats leave with their fat options.
Colin Flowerday, HoltBritish Railways ran a reliable, fast and reasonably priced train service. We want it back as these private companies are completely useless. Bring back British Rail.
Dawne Gardner, NottinghamStop the stupid new lines that save 20 mins and rebuild the ones closed by Beeching. We need East to West connections.
Peter Greenwood, DarlingtonPassengers before profits.
Valerie Campbell, GosportTake away control from the people who have assumed too much control and give it back to the people who have earned it.
