Paula Du Luc, RedhillThe Conservatives ran down BR to make it look bad, so that Beeching could close it down. Bring back public ownership.
Wilma HumeHikes in prices and the service in North Ayrshire is disgusting.
Paul Higginbotham, ReadingWe all knew this privatisation was unworkable from the start, and the way it is financed now is a public scandal.
Simon Williams, SuttonPrivatisation has failed. Neoliberalism has failed.
Nick Shepley, CardiffRail is a natural monopoly and therefore all arguments in favour of marketisation are a complete nonsense.
Kane Allen, OldhamBBBR.
Gordon Lee, Hemel HempsteadBring back BR.
Curtis Ablitt, KidderminsterBring Back BR.
Susan Cason, DronfieldPublic funding for the railways should be for public ownership, not for private companies.
Glyn Scott, CardiffGovernment subsidies are now much higher than before privatisation. It’s daft. The problem is once politicians start running a railway it tends to go downhill.
Tim Byrne, Newcastle-upon-TyneNow the East Coast line is in public ownership, it is more efficient and makes a profit.
Tracey Baker, LutonIt can’t happen soon enough. Overpriced, under-invested and huge bonuses which are unjustified.
Joan Norton, WoodbridgeThere is a great need and desire to return railways to public ownership more than ever.
Lee Randall, LondonBring back British Rail.
Scott Maitland, SunderlandTransportation is the lifeblood of the country and commerce. It should be run firstly as a public service and for profit secondly.
Eddie Walker, WorkingtonBring back BR so we can lead like the rest.
Michael Barr, AshteadDown with Thatcher, up the revolution.
Jack Free, EppingI agree with this campaign.
Edward Hudson, YorkWe need a single authority that will be responsible for a unified network. This is the only way that customers will be provided with the service they need and deserve.
Nicholas Harding, ChippenhamWe must bring back British Rail. It makes sense and is the way forward.
Tanya O’Carroll, LondonThe facts speak for themselves. What is the government thinking? We pay higher prices for worse services and we dole out subsidies to profit-making companies
Mark Parker, ThatchamTicket price variations are too confusing and expensive
Denise Rhodes, LondonYou know it makes sense.
Marylyn Edwards, TonbridgeThe railways and all public transport should be for the people, not for profits.
Vince Hayes, BedfordIf state railways are viable as a solid, excellent business then I support this campaign – But the old British Rail did not achieve that.
David Turner, Market HarboroughRail network is far too important in a tiny, packed country like ours to be left in private hands.
Andrew Stock, ColchesterI’m bored with paying to run Europe’s rail network with the profits from ours.
Borja Manso, SuttonAll those companies are making profits, not giving a service. Squeeze the users, squeeze the workers, don’t invest, get millions on profits, ruin the service.
Peter Fletcher, Naestved, DenmarkAs BR for a time in the late 80’s we had the most efficient railway in the world.
Chrissie Storey, MordenIt’s time we got back to basics. One network with a commitment to providing an efficient service without the need to rip off the passengers. Bring back British Rail.
