Joseph Fox, ExeterRenationalising rail would be cheaper for the government and commuters… Bring back British Rail.
Stuart Gray, TrowbridgePrivatisation has not worked.
Andrew Day, LondonWhy are we paying taxes? Give back our infrastructure.
Paul Clements, DidcotFor people not profit.
Jesse Mensah, LondonBring back BR along with Network Southeast, Intercity and Regional Railways, and end franchising for the good of the people, not profit.
Stephen Bamber, BarnsleyI’m a regular traveller faced with excessive price rises and busier trains. It’s another botched privatisation to join the rest. They just love making the rich richer.
Mark Arnold, LondonI suffer using the Thameslink driver-only service, with no on-board announcements, and I consider this dangerous. Trains consistently delayed/cancelled due to broken trains.
Joseph Miller, LondonPrivatisation is an article of faith in the political consensus of our times, despite its appalling record of failure. It is time to bring back British Rail.
Peter Forster, HaltwhistleThis has to be done. No more big profits from robbing the people who pay Fares.
Ann Lovell, SwindonPut safety and people first, not profit.
Lynne Finn, LondonBritish Rail should never have been privatised in the first place. Let’s get it back and then set to getting the Royal Mail back too.
Pat Vinson, CheltenhamThere is no reason why a government-run rail system can’t be efficient.
Gary Drew, LondonPrivatisation is Government sponsored piracy and vandalism – a capitalist scam.
Matt Faber, PewseyIf we are to drag the UK out of recession and get people back to work and get cars off the road this is how we do it.
Stuart Owen, LondonPlease.
Patrick Oakes, BaildonPrivatisation of the railways has proved to be a failure. Re-nationalise now.
Margaret White, CheltenhamToo expensive and all too crowded.
Stuart Wilkins, BrockenhurstIf the rail industry is ‘private’ why then do the train operating companies take their profits whilst the taxpayer is still contributing considerably to the rail network.
Ben Carlin, FalkirkIt’s scandalous that the Scottish railway has been sold to the Dutch national rail. Give our railways back to the people.
Richard Jones, St HelensBring back BR. Run the trains for the people.
Pier Hausemer, SalisburyIt can be done, if only there is a political will. Do it for the people of Great Britain.
Douglas Isbell, DorchesterThe safety of rail travel is being put at risk more than ever before all in the name of profit. Since it was all privatised, removing guards will only cause more problems.
Hayden Wright, BasildonPassengers and the Great British tax-paying public deserve better. Bring back British Rail.
Louise Mieszkian, CambridgeWe need an efficient and more extensive rail network comparable to fellow European countries.
Jean Hall, DerbyshireWe deserve a National Rail Service.
Monica Tyler, LeedsRe-nationalisation is the only possible option for a service to benefit the whole community.
Kane Allen, OldhamBBBR.
Gareth Tucker, AberystwythI find it shocking that when I am abroad (in Europe) trains are so much less hassle, and so much cheaper.
Robert OllisBR, when public, employed more people and cost less. Its social value was enormous. Give railways back to their rightful owners.
Karen Fletcher, SheffieldThere has not been a privatisation that benefitted anyone but rich friends of the Tories. This is the most blatant leeching of public funds.
