Gerry Norvill, LowestoftBring back British Rail to make fares fairer.
Dave Gonzalez, OxfordshireLet’s fix this. One of the biggest mistakes in the ’90s.
Leslie Glass, HaverhillBuying tickets is fragmented and complicated.
Philip Kingston, WokingBring back British Rail. Privatisation isn’t working.
Michael McClean, HamburgAs a proud Brit on the continent, the state and price of UK trains is appalling. Profit for a few and misery for us. No competition and no incentive to improve or reduce prices.
Liam Hand, EdinburghRailways are an important public service and should be run as such. They should not be a privately-owned commodity to be used for profit.
Brett Crane, ExeterServices as important as a National Rail network should be run by the public sector for the public and never for private profit for the 1%.
Gavin Pickles, LeedsThe monopoly on train services has gone on for too long, the services they provide are a joke to put it politely.
Brian MartoTo pay £10,500 a year for a 90 minute Journey to London is disgusting. This would not happen in any other nation. Something needs to be done,
Barry Woodcock, KetteringI am old enough to remember the good old days of BR when we all knew what the fares were without going through different web sites and companies.
Sonia Gray-Clough, HarrogateThe ownership of the railways should never have been separated. The railway experts said it would not work and it doesn’t.
Kim Rowling, Newton AycliffeMore people would use railways if they were more affordable.
Mary Wyburn, AmblesideI want collective ownership of a rail transport system for the benefit of service users, not shareholders.
Ian Carnew, BristolKeep up the good work.
Stuart Curran, CooksbridgeInvest taxpayers’ money in the rail network, not in corporate welfare schemes.
Debbie Horn, BlackpoolI come from Blackpool to Manchester each day for work. This costs £3236 per year. The trains are old, dirty and generally not up to standard with the amount I am paying.
John Wilson, CambridgeshireWe used to have an easy to understand railway system with a sensible ticketing structure.
Keith Green, LondonI just found you today. I want it back in public ownership too, wishing you all the best.
Mike Machin, SouthamptonPassenger train operation should be for the benefit of travellers – not shareholders. And a unified InterCity could offer seamless integrated long-distance services again.
Jonathan Gulliford, Merthyr TydfilThe railways belonged to us before they were sold off. Re-nationalise British Rail and use any profits to re-invest in the infrastructure, not line the pockets of the rich.
Susan Walsh, BostonBring back British Rail.
Janet Ferry, BlythWe live in Northumberland and we want a train.
Graham Holt, DurhamI was surprised to see a news item on BBC at the weekend that Berlin is having a referendum to re-nationalise its power supply. It seems the light is dawning.
Aaron Gray, BathBring back British Rail and the General Post Office, telephone and internet services too.
Deirdre Robson, HaltwhistleBring back British Rail now.
Alan Pool, RoystonBring public transport back to the public again, instead of subsidising the profits of private shareholders.
Mark Pullen, RipleyI totally agree with bringing British Rail back. Instead of rail being in corporate hands, give it back to the people.
Douglas Neal, WoolerI think that any company which is meant to provide a public utility service should be run by the government with any profits generated going directly back into it.
Dave Crowe, CreditonThis was a fatuous privatisation driven by greed and ideology (aren’t they all?) not public service and a sense of community.
