Reuben Reynolds, LeicesterEnd “profit before people”. Kill privatisation. Re-nationalise now.
Ellen Thomas, Belvedere, KentIt would be nice to buy a ticket without all the grief we have now. Privatisation has made travelling a misery and a headache. Bring back British Rail. It belongs to us.
Catherine Barnett, Hay-on-WyeNationalise our railways!
Pete Turner, PershoreThis is a no-brainer. A completely unified and integrated rail service is the only practical way forward. All else is madness.
Fran Waight, HertfordWe would have a better and cheaper railway if it was re-nationalised.
George Walker, BarrheadNationalisation without compensation.
Peter Hubberstey, PrestonI’m sick of bogus fares and little tricks like split tickets. We want a fair fare system..
Carol Jardine, EdinburghTravel by rail has now become too expensive for many people on lower incomes. We now look enviously at other countries’ rail systems that appear to serve the people.
Gavin Nicholson, HitchinKeep up the good work! We need railways run for the people, not private corporations.
Barnaby Wimbush, Ramsgate, KentI catch two trains for my commute, from Ramsgate to Maidstone. The fare have started to become ridiculous. My train ticket costs more than my rent.
Sandra Mulholland, StockportRun the trains for people and not just for private profit.
Gareth Valentine-Saunders, RiponPrivatisation has only allowed for the highest rail fares in Europe, very limited competition on an infrastructure still paid for by the taxpayer. Value for money?
John Michael Swarbrick, LeylandYou only realise how good something is when you lose it!
Mick Yates, DoverI’m a big supporter of re-nationalising the railways.
Ray Burnside, EastbourneTransport has got to be owned by us all.
Noreen Gorse, ManchesterThis is what happens – greed before customers when things are put into private hands. It’s time gas and electricity were brought back as well.
Rob Vickery, BrightonI use the Brighton mainline daily for my commute. First Capital Connect are by far the worst and latest trains I’ve ever been on in England.
Lucy Gaster, LondonThe rail service in this country has only got worse and more expensive since being privatised. Run it for the people not the fat cats.
Hugh Tonks, CambridgeBBBR. Except this time make it accountable to a committee of the travelling public, railway experts, successful business people, and no politicians. Thank you.
Amanda Law, TwyfordRail travel should be cheaper than using the car, to encourage people to use the train instead. That’s why I support this campaign.
Lauren Conway, BarnsleyIt is important that the general public are provided with reliable, affordable transport and it should be public.
Karen Springer, DerbyBring back British Rail and bring back national rail engineering to support it.
Paul Sheeky, CreweIt’s a national service, so it’s obviously going to be more efficient to run it nationally.
Marilyn Holloway, Leighton BuzzardI’m old enough to remember BR. While it needed investment it was in so many respects better than the confusion of current arrangements. Re-nationalise, rationalise.
Simon Turner, Higham FerrersI’m living in a town those rogues took the railway away from.
Jill Lepper, StagsdenI totally agree that we need a consolidated British Rail again run for passengers not private profit.
Andrew Thomas, AlfretonBritish Rail was never the best railway system in the world but it was a whole world better than the profit scamming bastards who run our regional railways now.
David Nicholson, DurhamAs a regular traveller to London to visit family, I have noticed the service is better under public ownership and in profit. This model should be applied to all railways.
Audrey Walsh., PortsmouthThe railway companies have for too long been allowed to treat passengers as dupes to fund the managers’ high salaries, and their bonuses, and shareholders.
Cristian Gurran, RotherhamFree market capitalism is not the answer to everything and is certainly not the optimal solution to how a country should provide essential services to its population.
