Charlie Sheahan, StevenageBring back British Rail.
Alex Lewis, WalesYes, there where issues with BR, but they were trying to improve the service and, after the hugely popular InterCity 125, things were turning round but then randomly sold off.
Lawrence Scott, CarlisleI have always been an advocate of bringing back the railways into the public sector putting profit into the government coffers instead of Branson etc.
Hedley McCarthy, Blaenau GwentNot just popular with Labour core voters, but it would be popular in commuter land.
Stuart Daw, Newcastle-under-LymeWhat a way to run a railway!
David NicholasEnd the travesty of rail franchising and the burden on this country of false promises and devious commercial practice.
Maria Harlan, St. AlbansAnybody travelling around Europe becomes aware how shamefully overpriced British Rail has become. It has nothing to do with a service any more.
William Craven, StainesWhy sell something that’s making a profit for the country?
Brian Jones, BradfordA commonsense idea that really does need to be put into practice.
Sue Richmond, SheffieldI just love our trains, so save them.
Denise Rhodes, LondonYou know it makes sense.
Stephen Atkins, EdinburghThe private rail companies are getting more subsidy than BR ever received. They get compensated when things go wrong. They cannot lose. Time to renationalise.
Jonny Pritchard, TonbridgeBring back old colours onto trains please.
Lucy Wade, KentI hate the trains. We are the passengers. Make the railways a public service again.
Beth Kenny, ManchesterAs a victim of the shambles that is NorthernFail, I support re-nationalisation.
Derrick Joyce, Newbiggin by the SeaThe privatisation of British Rail is a failure and, like many other utilities, needs to be nationalised urgently.
Martin Jones, Builth WellsNot another cent in public subsidy.
Nicholas Emm, NottinghamEnd the immorality of British Railways in private hands. Bring back British Rail.
Oliver Bowen, AbergavennyThe current system just does not work.
Margaret Al-Rekabi, NottinghamWhen British Rail was in existence the price of a journey was set. 1st and 2nd class. Now it is a muddle and many different fares depending on when you book. Not good.
Jon Matthews, SwanleyVote Green to bring back British Rail.
Liz Walthew, DunsRailways are a national asset and should belong to the people.
Barbara McCartney, KirkcaldyPrivatisation should never have happened.
Jolyon Bailey, LondonI see rail transportation as a public service, mainly to transport workers in order for our economy to function efficiently. The system is a mess.
Rita Aldridge, WoodbridgeTrain service isn’t more efficient for being privatised – in fact worse, expensive and awful old carriages.
Andrea Coppin, BristolPeople before profit.
Joe Stoner, BethesdaI’m 65 and remember how efficient and affordable BR was just prior to the ludicrous ideological Tory privatisation which has delivered such a deluge of waste.
Mary-Rose Grasar, Bamber BridgeEuropean railways work better than ours. All are nationalised and cleaner, cheaper, faster.
Jude Churchman, HastingsToo many cars and too little trustworthy public transport. Shame on Britain.
Timothy Wilson, DundeeEast Coast is better now than it has been for years.
