Ulla Vangsgaard, WakefieldReliable, affordable public transport would help save fossil fuels, reduce greenhouse emissions and population stress, and make Great Britain a healthier, happier place.
Delia Lomax, EdinburghThe nationalised East Coast service has been great. Rail is too important to give to the private sector. All revenue is needed for improvements, not for shareholders.
Martina Arata, LondonEvery government should be in control of basic services: healthcare, energy and transport. Only one remains public, barely. Let’s bring all back to being public.
Malcolm Judd, RomfordWe pay our fares to get somewhere, not to fill directors’ and shareholders’ pockets. Because of high wages and dividends there is no money for improvement works.
Christine Rogers, BirminghamI am totally fed up with trains not being synchronised, not turning up, being very uncomfortable and often impossibly overcrowded.
Neil Merrett, NottinghamPut people’s rail service back with the people.
Nicholas Brierley, LondonFirst stop: prevent re-privatisation of East Coast Mainline.
Liz Andelin, OtleyIt’s about time it was returned to us. East Coast Rail has proved that it works better than privately-owned.
Rob Hopkins, Totnes, Devon.Wonderful to see this happening. Bring back British Rail (although with better time-keeping and better sandwiches.) All power to this campaign.
Nicholas Lyle, Woking / PortsmouthAffordable, local rail services for everyone!
Abigail Meadow, ManchesterNorthern Rail are constantly allowed to give a sub-par service to its overpaying customers and it does not care about the welfare of its staff.
Anne Brodie, CowesAs an ex-commuter I can vouch for the outrageously bad state of trains and rail services, and the extortionate fares. We need change.
Philip Foster, BirminghamMaybe we could have a government run for the people and not for profit too. Nice thought.
Joyce Murray, BlythTo have a division between different train operating companies and the running of the track seems ridiculous.
Jim McClew, WashingtonPrivatisation of the railways has proved to be as ridiculous and impracticable a notion as it always appeared. It’s time to go back to common sense.
Graham Race, ManchesterThe pillaging of our rail network has to stop. Re-investment, modernisation and sustainability are the only way forward.
Sue Dockett, WisbechIt is ridiculous that the rail subsidy is four times higher than in BR days when most of the train operating companies are foreign owned.
Moya Berry, ManchesterNow there is the opportunity to bring British Rail back.
Amy Williams, South Woodham FerrersAbellio Greater Anglia are the worst company. I hope this really proves people are fed up and changes need to happen.
Ryan Virgo, OxfordI’ve been using the railway for 14 years. Over the past four years my weekly ticket has gone from £104 to £129. All we see is these private companies making extortionate profits.
Sean Jackson, WindsorRailways for the people, not profit for the elite.
Enrico van Leeuwen, UtrechtI’m Dutch but it hurts to see what has happened to the great British railways.
Thomas McCormack, EcclesRe-nationalise the utilities too.
Patricia Steeden, WatfordThe franchising and ticketing for privatised railways is ridiculous. Bring back British Rail which my father worked for many years.
Neville Bruce,I’m tired of lies. Let’s get back to delivering a service.
Adam Greenfield, LondonThe British Rail I knew in my childhood was the pride of this nation and an example for the World. With vision, it can be again.
Chris Sullivan, DartfordTrains are delayed every day and we are just supposed to accept it. At work I get 10 minutes to not be classed as late but a train has to be 30 minutes late for a refund.
Craig Robertson, BirkenheadThe trains are outdated and whatever new stock Northern do get is cast offs from down south or abroad.
Andy Soulsbury, HastingsStop hiking train fares. Let’s have a national organisation once again.
Charles Peaker, WakefieldBring back common sense and rid crowded coaches of ill thought out coach design which lead to health and safety issues.
