Sheena McKerrell, KeighleyLet’s invest the profits from our rail fares in improving our railways and not let them go abroad.
Tony Lansdowne, BristolCan anyone name a single example of when privatisation has been of considerable benefit to the general public?
Lauren Hellicar, BrightonBecause this just isn’t working.
Mohammed Zulkernain, SloughCorporate media conspired to wrest British Rail from public ownership.
Joel A Forster Jones, BournemouthThe railways are an essential service for all, not a source of private profit.
Liz O’Brien, LondonStop privatising the railways.
Neil Turner, BridgendIt has been one of our most disastrous and pointless privatisations, contradicted by such a large proportion of the TOCs being owned by other countries’ state transport.
Janis Bradshaw, WolverhamptonA national rail system run efficiently for the convenience of the people, not for the profit and benefit of the few.
Greg Taylor, YorkBritain’s railways are for the people not for profit.
John Stannard, SheffieldLet’s stop yet another example of rip-off Britain.
Suzy Davies, CrawleyBoth of my grandfathers were steam engine drivers. They would be incensed to see the profiteering free-for-all of today’s railways. Re-nationalise now.
Angelo Ciraulo, EdenbridgeBring back British Rail.
Kulvinder Bhogal, DerbyI want things to be back the way they used to be. A rail network for the people and not to make fat cats fatter. Above all, I want rail prices to be reasonable again.
Andrew Moore, EnfieldMajor infrastructure components such as all of the rail network should be nationally owned and operated.
Sharon Roberts, ColchesterMy father, my granddad, my uncle, my ex-partner all worked on BR. How it has been run and maintained the past few years has been of great concern to me.
Amanda Hunter, Grange-over-SandsPrivatisation has done absolutely nothing for rail passengers, other than constantly increase fares.
Charlie Bryant, SheffieldThere are too many train operators who have a monopoly over the rail network such as First Group. On some lines the trains are not long enough. X-Country take note!
Yvonne Stout, SawbridgeworthPut profits back into the railways and not rich shareholders.
Tun Loakthar, LondonThanks for organising. I always wanted to find people who also want nationalisation of British Rail.
Pamela Morris, LeedsI frequently travel by rail and East Coast is by far the best and most comfortable rail service and has made a profit. It is far better than the private rail.
Julie Gossage, High WycombeRegular peak time cancellations, short formations leading to dangerous overcrowding, increased fares. It’s totally unacceptable!
Gwenno Williams, GlamorganRail travel needs to be nationalised, prices reduced and services improved so that more people will be encouraged to get out of their cars.
Mark Kochan, LittlehamptonEnough is enough. Nationally crucial infrastructure such as water, rail etc. must not be fed to the wolves of private capital. We, the English people, demand better!
Wendy Berentsen, WallsendI have never supported the privatisation of rail services in the UK and I never will.
Jaqueline Silva, Haywards HeathUnaffordable poor service! I can just about afford going to work. Stop punishing the workers. We pay for everything!
Rosemary CharlesDelighted to find a group which thinks as I have done since privatisation of the railway.
Michael Hare, WarringtonIt’s time to return to Social Democracy.
John Mooney, AirdrieStop the public funding of private greed.
Will Troth, DoncasterWe need more staff. Where are the good clean stations of the 50s?
