Maggie Thomas, OldhamASAP.
Robert Masters, Newcastle-upon-TyneIt’s a total waste of taxpayers’ money, which is going straight into the bank accounts of greedy people.
Doris Brunt, BiggleswadeThere is overwhelming support to restore our railways to public ownership and politicians must listen.
Denise Shell, MaltaI retired after 39 years. I’ve mixed feelings. I joined British Rail but retired when my employer was GNER and was very happy with the package and a wonderful retirement party.
Nicklas Gaskell, ExeterI believe the golden age of British Rail should be ahead of us, not behind.
Paul Buckley, RickmansworthLets give the railways back to those who use them, and re-invest profits in the infrastructure.
Edward Wilson, ChedistonWe need to bring British Rail as well as the rest of the UK infrastructure into public ownership.
Kath Taylor, LeedsAs a regular rail user, I am disgusted at the congestion and poor service on today’s rail networks.
Nathan Halperin, LondonI’m a ThamesLink commuter 5-6 days a week. It’s an utter disgrace of a service we have right now.
Fred Whitby, LondonTake shareholders out of the equation and run rail as a service, not for private profit.
Richard King, BristolRe-nationalise now.
Darrell Roberts, SwindonRe-nationalisation is the only way (Rail, Utilities, Royal Mail etc.)
Stewart Bloomfield, StevenageYes, bring back BR. I worked as a guard on BR for seven years. Today I have never seen it so bad. It’s terrible due to the Tories yet again.
Carolyn Mayfield, OkehamptonWe need proper services, proper pricing which is comprehensible and trains that are affordable and usable. I would use a train to commute to work if I could.
Graham Warwick, ColchesterCommuting should be supported by a public service like power and water. Stop the money junkies taking over everything that once was part of social support for the citizen.
John Miles Palmer, Stoke-on-TrentFirst help stop HS2 by pushing the cheaper alternatives for a high-speed network, regional connectivity and GB Freight. This would be supported by voters and passengers.
Luke Hounsell, CambridgeThe price of train tickets is disgusting!
Carl Hodgetts, CardiffI’m tired of paying extortionate fares in order to prop up shareholders in private companies whilst the services themselves are unbelievably substandard.
Rob Shepherd, BeckenhamWith good management British Rail can cut prices, improve services and still make money for re-investment.
Alan Palmer, NottinghamPeople before profit. It’s that simple.
Georgina Sharpe, SouthamptonI worked for British Rail. It was the best job ever. A French company took over and the depot closed. That was the worst day ever.
Colin Seddon, LeedsI live in Morley and the service here is a joke. I was waiting almost two hours for the “half-hourly” train service into Leeds recently!
Marie Pettigrew, NottinghamHand it back to the people and let us enjoy the profits instead of the greedy fat cats.
Paul Booth, BedfordI’m sick and tired of paying through the nose and having a rubbish service.
John Bramhall, NewburyThe current situation is ridiculous. Prices go up and the service doesn’t improve.
M Murphy, ScunthorpeExpropriate the train robbers.
Janet Groundsell, Isle of WightTransport is vital and would be preferable in the public interest rather than big business.
Elizabeth Taylor, GuisboroughIt’s a good idea as long as the prices are low and it is run properly.
Paul Herwin, Canterbury£250 Ashford to Birmingham peak. Cheaper to go day before off-peak advance and get hotel. £100 in fact so extra money going to hotel not railway.
