Andree Mehew, LondonBecause it’s the best.
Yasmin Chotai De Lima , GravesendI take the train every day. It is inefficient and overpriced.
Francois Calitz, PurfleetI’m sick and tired of paying through my nose for a pathetic and unreliable service on C2C. I’ve had enough.
Joginder SinghBritish Rail was apparently the most cost effective and least subsidised national rail system in Europe.
Barry Teague, BuryBring back British Rail.
Frank Nicholas AdamBritish Rail days were far better.
Philip Graves, IpswichElectricity, Gas, Water, Post Offices and British Telecom (one phone company). We all need these services and privatisation has done nothing for us.
Shela Close, Newcastle-upon-TyneYou know it’s the right thing to do. People not profit. Let us be proud of something as important and vital as our rail network.
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.
Catherine Matthews, EnfieldPublic ownership in public interest. Choose service over parasitic private sector profits.
Allan Robinson, SussexWe need a railway that’s a source of pride not profit.
Alison Winstone, LeicesterNot only nationalise rail, but add water, gas, electricity and telephones. Tax-payers set these up and should hold on to profits and invest in renewables..
David McKay, PontefractBritish Rail should be operated for transport, not profit.
Tony Wilmot, BirminghamIt’s not all about profit.
David FairclothWe all need to spread the word and get as many people as possible to support the campaign!
Phillip Bevin, SurbitonThe idea that essential national infrastructure should be owned by publicly unaccountable overseas private organisations is absurd on a fundamental level.
John Kennedy, YorkThe land, the tracks and the rolling stock were paid for by people who had fought and died for this United Kingdom and was stolen from their descendants.
Paul Denyer, HorshamIf the fares were lower more people would travel by train. It’s got to be better than more roads.
Roy Banks, FeatherstoneMy trains are currently late, noisy, rickety, too cold, too hot, invisible, cramped, unsafe, overcrowded, dirty, unmanned, smelly, expensive and old.
Paul Geraghty, WarringtonRe-nationalise British Rail to be run for the people not private profit. You know it makes sense.
Alan Robshaw, KidderminsterBring back BR and reduce these expensive fares.
John Liversage, LlangollenI’ve never known an organisation waste so much money.
Alexander Wallace, SheernessLet’s go back to when the trains were on time and not in the private sector, with all the investors taking all the money out of it.
Chris Parsons, BodminThe railway should be a social service, not a commodity to be traded.
Derek Gardner, PeterboroughTransport should be for the benefit of the public – not for private profit.
Alex Brammer, King’s LynnIt is sad and disappointing to see our national rail companies exploit us rail users. Rail is the only possible means of transportation for those who do not drive.
Mark Blackburn, BecclesJohn Major pushed through privatisation on a personal crusade of just his own. Most of the Tories at the time were luke-warm about it. What a disaster, in every way.
Patricia Macnair, GlasgowI am very happy to back this. Having travelled on German and Austrian trains this autumn, I am aware of the shortcomings in the British system.
Fred Mathisen, AberdourBR was broken up because it was over subsidised but the current clutch of companies is subsidised much much more, including shareholders’ dividends.
Elliot Massey, TauntonThe swathes of confusing tickets, tariffs and operators should be done away with and replaced with a national, instantly recognisable system to be proud of.
