Ian Murray, HerefordRailways for the people, not for shareholders’ profit.
Deirdre Robson, HaltwhistleBring back British Rail now.
Steven Hinchliffe, HuddersfieldAbsolute joke Virgin – the trains are outdated and falling to bits.
Annie Mulholland, Bradford-on-AvonBritish Rail was so much better than what we have now. Bring it back.
Kev Kirkham, Stoke-on-TrentA good idea.
Richard Gillanders, LondonIf private enterprise can/will not run Railtrack/Network Rail, why should it operate the profit-making parts and hold fare-payers to ransom for an essential service?
Kenneth Miller, LeedsStop propping up private firms. Let us run it from central office.
Robin Ridley, SheffieldPrivatisation – just a massive failure fuelled by greed.
Michele Bateman, WrexhamBring British Rail back into public ownership, so we can have proper railway system again.
Bryn Glover, HarrogateMiliband must be blind not to see what a popular declaration it would be to declare now for the re-nationalisation of all transport.
Ian Kerr, BasingstokeThe sooner the better. Privatisation has only benefitted the shareholders. Never mind what the passengers have to suffer.
George Prior, PortsmouthWhy should we rely on limited special offers to get rail travel at a reasonable rate?
Annie Weatherly-Barton, SpaldingBring back British Rail into public ownership. It’s a disgusting rip-off in privatised hands.
Ollie Foord, BracknellI miss the blue and white era.
John Wright, SalisburyPrivatisation is not working. Why should our railway be in the hands of foreign state-owned organisations?
Megan Walsh, Greater ManchesterBring back British Rail.
Fiona Rowe, ManchesterBring back affordable transport and friendly staff. Bring back British Rail.
Christopher Whichelo, Rawdon, LeedsI have travelled on Virgin, Cross Country, First Great Western etc. East Coast is immeasurably better.
Michael Hawkins, BarnsleyReturn what you have taken from us. Make the public aware that they themselves could make the decisions which control policy directives, therefore eradicating faults.
Helen Jones, ManchesterThe price we are paying now should be going into the trains not into people’s pockets.
Jon Waring, YorkI don’t want to bring back the British Rail as was – but a modern British Rail which puts quality, safety and comfort first, not profit. The current system is crap.
Iain Woolnough, South OckendonAs I work for Network Rail I see how it is working on a day-to-day basis and unless we bring it back under British Rail I foresee major problems and major accidents.
Matthew Ross Rachar, LondonWhat are we waiting for?
Ann Jones, SheffieldSome things are just not safe when run for profit.
Trish Joscelyne, East SussexIf they can do it in the rest of Europe, why not here?
Ben Burman, RadlettRe-nationalise the railways. Renew East Coast’s contract to continue running that service in the interests of the people of this country.
Anthony Thompson, ShepshedThe present ridiculous situation has gone on too long.
Paul Churchill, PeterboroughPeople can no longer tolerate the cost of travel.
Ryan Pengelly, ExeterWe want British Rail back.
George Mulryan, EalingI visit Yorkshire frequently and have found the East Coast service to be the best in the country since its nationalisation in 2009. Let’s make this a nationwide success.
