Elizabeth Cleere, RyeThe railways should be available to everyone, and serve every part of the country. They should not be another way for a handful of already rich people to get even richer.
Heather Cartwright, SouthwellRailways should never have been privatised.
Andrew Pettigrew, SheffieldIt’s not just the railways that need to be brought back into public ownership, but that’ll do for a start.
Susan Legg, BedfordForget High speed 2, regenerate some of what we already have, and don’t forget East-West line.
Gwynant Cwmbowydd, Nant GwynantEven though the Tory government is in the process of privatising Royal Mail, there is still hope of re-nationalising the railways.
Brian Racher, West SussexLet’s get it all back under one roof and run by people who understand the rail industry, not those fat cats who are getting fatter by the minute at our expense.
Frans van Bussel, Boekel, NetherlandsBritish Rail must prevail.
Ryan Board, LondonMy grandfather used to revel in taking me around the country on British Rail. It was classy, romantic and visionary, and with its unrivalled history.
Ruth Rach, LewesStop these greedy, outrageous and callous private monopolies
Chantelle Cole, LiverpoolMajor infrastructure that people need day-to-day, such as rail and utilities, should not be left to money-grabbing companies. They’re too important.
Jo Bennett, AshingtonBring back our railways and open our local stations.
Fred Johnson, LondonPut an end to this disastrous privatisation.
Ross Curtis, LondonNationalise ASAP to reduce fares and stop putting money into the pockets of greedy shareholders. Especially Richard Branson.
Ruki Sidhwa, BeckenhamDisgruntled commuter indeed.
Paul Dunn, PortisheadThe current service on the East Coast line shows that a public service is better than the private one.
Jane Atkinson, WakefieldPrivatising our national assets has to stop. They are bringing the country and all that was good about it to a standstill. Stop the policies of exploitation.
Leigh Pankhurst, NorwichPrivatising the rail network was the most stupid idea ever. It is now taught on the continent in economic degrees as an example of gross mismanagement.
Ian Donnelly, PrestonNobody did it better than BR.
Leanne Ralston, SeafordBritish Rail should never have been privatised in the first place. Bring back British Rail.
Gordon Craig, EdinburghHaving now worked under a Government-run railway, although not perfect, let’s not go back unless GNER can return.
S Read, YorkWill a mainstream party have common sense enough to adopt this policy? Why are they so scared?
Dr Lynne Wrennall, SouthportPrivatisation has been an utter disaster, harming the people and privileging the exploiters.
Neil Sanderson, OswestryPeople not profit.
Thomas McCausland, ManchesterNo more profit-sharing giants.
Caroline Carmichael, Castle DouglasWe are tired of poor service, ever increasing fares and train times which keep changing. Privatisation has not worked. It is time to re-nationalise.
Angelo Servini, Haywards HeathLate trains, missed connections daily. There must be a better way. Expensive fares, yet taxpayers have to subsidise their dividends.
Philip Kane, LondonNeeds to be done sooner rather than later. Most expensive public transport in Europe.
Evan Tatnall, St. AndrewsThe fact of the matter is that only ScotRail will now service the Leuchars station, instead of East Coast which will stop most direct long haul journeys from Leuchars.
Joe Kelly, CambridgeThe railway should be run for the good of the UK, not shareholder dividends.
Nick Godfree, Milton KeynesI’m 100 per cent behind you guys. Bring back common sense to our railways.
