Paul Hollister, StockportEnd the fraud and corruption by the City of London and the bought politicians.
Russell Richards, ChelmsfordA public service such as rail should be run for the benefit of the customers it serves, not for the benefit of its shareholders.
Sally Welham, CarnoustieIf it stops the ridiculous cross-over between train companies and leads to a better service I am all for it.
Antony Dear, WatfordPassengers should be the only shareholders for BR.
James Dawn, GloucesterRailways are the property of the British public like all infrastructure. Utilities should be not owned and plundered for profit by fat cats who pay no taxes.
Louise Kemp, Haywards HeathI am disgusted at poor train services, high ticket prices and public money being paid into the hands of shareholders instead of funding public services. Re-nationalise.
Pauline StephensThe railway system is more expensive now, both in fares and operating costs.
Jill Westendorp, Lyme RegisIt’s about time this happened – the privatisation of the railways/electricity and gas/water was the worst thing to happen. Give them all back.
Stephen Barstow, Malvik, NorwayI have stopped using the railways. It’s just too stressing an experience at all stages from booking to travelling.
Carolyn Day, NottinghamIt’s time to get goods transported by rail again and help free up the congestion on the roads.
Ryan Thompson, SheffieldGive the people their Railways.
Ruth Hirschfield, LiverpoolTransport for people not profiteers.
Susan Shaw, ChesterIt would be great to get the rail fairs back to something reasonable in a way that makes sense. Chester to Liverpool
Anthony Torok, LeicesterOnly re-nationalisation will bring back all the rail services under one umbrella, providing a fair service to all.
James Mackay, GlasgowGive it back: you’ve mucked it up.
Roddie Arnott, EdinburghIt seems sheer folly that as a country we now pay more in state subsidies to the private providers than we ever paid for British Rail
Eddy Hughes, ManchesterWe need to put pressure on the government to Bring back British Rail into public ownership – well overdue.
Ian Evans, IpswichI’m a Tory supporter and backer of privatisations but I never supported privatising the railways which is chaotic. A centrally planned rail service is vital for the UK.
John Wood, CromartyEnough is enough.
Will Duckworth, DudleyThe Green Party are fighting to bring the rail network back into public ownership.
Michael Rands, HullMake these companies run by the people and shared by the people.
Richard Symonds, BroadstairsEast Coast is beating all the private companies. The best European networks are state-owned. Private rail is dear and dangerous.
Chris Parry, SalfordI completely agree. Rail fares have increased (and are about to again) without an increase in capacity, service regularity or reliability. It’s a failure so please fix it.
David Cunliffe, St HelensTransport for the people not for private profit
Christopher Willan, BirminghamPublic services should be owned and run by the public, for the public good, not for profit.
Gillian Trainor, NorwichPrivatisation hasn’t worked for the customer. Let’s have a joined up rail service that works for the customer. Competition hasn’t improved anything.
Callum McPhee, CampbeltownBring the railway back into the control of the people.
Derek Tingle, SheffieldPrivatisation of our railways led to a big increase in rail fares and large profits for shareholders. The government still put cash into our railways for shareholders profit.
Charles Andrew Rose, LondonActually, I have lived in Norway for 37 years and the railways here are still (almost entirely) publicly owned and are very good.
Rachel Parsons, LeicesterPeople not profit.
