Sid Willard, LondonSort it out and give us back the railways.
Jo Winship, HullIt used to work, not perfectly, but far better, and cheaper than the current mess.
Peter Bodiam, CheltenhamI wish to join.
Sean Diamond, LiverpoolRe-nationalisation is the only way forward. A cost-effective and fair system is what’s needed. Bring back British Rail. Privatisation sucks.
Linnea Rowlatt, Conyer, KentPublic services, such as transport, health, or education, ought to be operated by servants of the public – not private companies.
Sami Richards, LiverpoolI think that privatisation was a stupid idea, There is basically no competition on the railways and so the core argument for privatisation is invalid.
Stephen Bailey, BiggleswadeEssential services should not be foreign-owned.
Marylin Potter, LeedsPublic ownership is the only way forward for rail travel. Use East Coast as the template for success.
Andy Lockwood, PontefractThe British railway system is a right rip-off and it is time the government stepped in to change things. Prices for last minute long distance travel in the UK are far too dear.
Andrew Bell, DelamereEnough is Enough. Bring back British Rail.
Phil Broadis, NeilstonJust bring it back.
Andy Kuss, BathIt’s the only sensible option to run a network.
Christine Isherwood, MacclesfieldI have watched a well-documented TV series – East Coast railway. It’s a great argument for nationalisation of Britain’s railways, with fulfilled, hard-working employees.
Phil Sherwin, LondonBring back British Rail.
Callum Winfield, IlkestonI am sick of all these foreign businesses abusing the system to milk us of all our hard-earned money. It has to stop being about profit. Make British rail British.
Robert Thornton, Brighton.Should never have been privatised in the first place. Railways are a national asset for the people.
Pauline Vaughan, KendalI stood up in first class on rail journey from Oxenholme to Manchester. I had to move from standard class as there were so many people I could not breathe. It was unbelievable.
Ben Dowsett, LondonI’m sick to death of disjointed railways.
Waqas Sheikh, LeicesterThey need to lower the fares.
Kevan Ogden, Chester-le-StreetPlease explain to me how sucking profits from previously nationalised businesses make them work better? The lessons of 70s have been learned. Reunite trains with the tracks.
Nicklas Gaskell, ExeterI believe the golden age of British Rail should be ahead of us, not behind.
Robert Cockroft, Clacton-on-SeaProfit has no place in the provision of essential public services.
Dawn Jackson, DurhamRail services must remain in the hands of the government, to achieve transparency and accountability.
Ali Nariman, LeatherheadI think it is time the government re-nationalises the railways. We need real nationalisation, not the ‘Great British Railways’ nonsense.
Jon Hassall, CreweI started on the RTS back in 1989, then was a guard and was made a driver in 1996. BR days were so much better than today’s railways.
Maureen Lydon, YorkFares higher, fewer trains, poorer services. Bring back BR.
Niamh Mulvey, LondonI sign because of daily misery caused by Southeastern railway.
Anthony Bartolo, Gillingham, KentStop wasting everyone’s money and just go back to British Rail. You know it makes sense!
David Moore, FalkirkBring back British Rail.
Zach Elsbury, MelbourneThe rot must stop!
