Rafael Sorribas, BristolSo tired of having to use cramped, dirty, infrequent, slow, and expensive services. When it is cheaper and quicker to fly Bristol-to Leeds, something is fundamentally wrong.
Emma Campbell, SandersteadTerrible East Grinstead service. The frequency needs to be increased as well as the number of carriages. All over the country serious reform is needed not Victorian trains.
Nigel Stacey, DidcotPrivatisation does not work, just lines the pockets of shareholders and management with money that could be reinvested in the infrastructure.
Shelley Black, BradfordPrivatisation has not worked for taxpayers, passengers or rail staff. Put it right.
Michael Deacon, Hemel HempsteadFares going up and service going down.
Anthony Faulkner, MirfieldThe Labour party has let us down – they should have re-nationalised BR without compensation.
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.
Richard Codling, EdinburghNational transport infrastructure should never have left public ownership. Any profit now should be re-invested in the infrastructure.
Grace Keeley, LondonImprove the train service, and make it more affordable prices for workers.
Richard Sharp, PolegateI hope this is not a lost cause. Tories do not want public ownership and Labour did nothing under Blair and Brown, re-letting franchises instead of direct rail control.
Paul Harrison, ManchesterThe public are sheep drowning in apathy. They have no idea the NHS is being sold off piece by piece under our noses. But I support and inform wherever I can.
Trevor Preston, RyePeople cannot see that the Tories privatised the railways/gas/electricity/water so the profits go to the shareholders. Still they vote them in. They are stupid.
Nicolas Richardson, CardiffPrivatisation has been a complete waste of time, has not benefited anyone who uses it. It’s turned out worse value for consumers as prices hike and services get worse.
Tom Voute, PurleyPrivatising the railway system was a very expensive mistake, only done for ideological reasons.
Lee Wallace, LeedsIt was sold off way under its market value for the sake of quick cash and ideology and I want to see it back in public hands. Service not private profit.
Sydney Wilmshurst, CaterhamValue for passengers not profit for financiers.
Neil Blumfield, LincolnI use the East Coast line. Under the DOR, it gave a glimpse of what a re-nationalised service can do. With Virgin in control prices have rocketed. Privatisation doesn’t work.
Michael Griffiths, ManchesterPrivatisation is just an out-and-out rip-off.
Isobel Burke, LeedsWe want our British Rail back in our ownership.
Mark Lewis, ColchesterVirgin make too much money for running a crap TOC.
Lesley Perrin, DevonIt should never have been sold off in the first place. No consultation and given away for pennies.
Alan England, ExeterFat cat bosses overcharging the public and never delivering the service as the contract dictates.
Felicity Webster, Kingston-upon-ThamesIf they are privatised, why are they subsidised?
Mandie Walton, DumbartonI joined after privatisation but I still wish it was back to British Rail.
Duncan Crighton, DundeeState profits, not individual profiteers.
Jack Harrison, FleetwoodI was a Signalman for 10 yrs with British Rail and it was regarded as a Service and belonging to the Nation , not just another company to be bought, sold and milked.
Simon Coll, OakhamWhy is handing our public services and utilities to the nationalised companies of other countries better than running them in the UK public sector?
Frances Moran, LondonI am old enough to remember the days when British Rail ran the railways, and I can tell you it was run better in those days than it is now.
Steve Thomas, CheltenhamIt wasn’t theirs to sell, and profit has pushed out service and safety. Bring it back into public hands.
Daniel Illingworth, BradfordIt’s time to end the naked profiteering of the privatised railways and run them for the benefit of those who use them.
