Alan Newstead, EastleighThe money wasted on all the companies involved in running the railways. All have a chairman and a board of directors etc.
Steve Rhodes, DoncasterEven the USA’s train system is a publicly funded one.
Michael Smallwood, HornseaWe need an organisation like this.
Peter Shaw, HorshamMost UK rail travel is unreliable, inconvenient, uncomfortable, prohibitively expensive, of benefit only to the overseas owners and, unfit for purpose. Enough is enough.
Allan Crago, SunderlandUsing the privatised rail system is an expensive luxury.
Anne Johns, DerbyCutting out the middleman profits and ploughing them back into the service makes total sense. £4m of public money to a private company does not..
Bobby Webb, ManchesterDo it for the good of the people, not for private profit.
John Strachan, CuparI think its great that such a campaign is in action, for a great cause – to make a more accessible and fairly priced railway service for all.
Annette Baker, LondonThe railways should never have left public ownership.
Charles Punchard, DurhamThe railways should never have been privatised. Track maintenance is not done as well as under BR, prices are too high and they are understaffed.
Ian Sharman, NorwichStop crippling your own workforce by making it more difficult and expensive to get to work.
Ron Bingham, LondonPrivatisation has failed for everyone apart from the executives and shareholders. How about giving the customers what they pay for?
Bob Green, SheffieldI was proud to be a trainee signalman in the late 60s early 70s. I’m not going to allow this silly government to privatise any more of the people’s interests and jobs.
Anita Maunsell, NewarkPrivatised rail has only resulted in complicated and highly expensive services.
Brian Goodall, Tyne and WearGood luck in your fight to keep the railways in our hands.
Marcus Dillistone, HexhamBritain’s railway system is in no-man’s-land comprising the worst of both worlds, and is thus unfit for purpose.
Bryan White, DerbyThe worst thing ever to happen to this country closely followed by gas and electricity privatisation
Jo Savill, RetfordThe only thing privatisation has brought us is poor quality, expensive, unreliable rail services.
Blair Breton, SouthseaModelled on the East Coast service.
Daniel Jeter, TruroBring it back.
David Herbert, SunderlandPrivatisation has not worked. Public subsidies have tripled, fares are much more expensive and investment levels inadequate. It’s not what we were promised at privatisation.
Aaron Omeroglu, Haywards HeathIt’s something that has exploited the working people and we need to take back control.
Mona Johnson, StockportWe need to adhere to the European standard. We subsidise it in any case. In France, Belgium etc. there are clean fast trains that run on time.
Ray Watson, WesterhamThe railways should serve the people, not Network Rail directors.
Sue Crathorne, BirminghamBR fell apart when greedy politicians started meddling. It should be run with no political agenda providing a good service at a fair price and provide jobs for the UK.
Damian Gevaux, BuckleyI would like to see BR brought back into service. All the current train liveries have confused me.
Caroline Hutchings, Kingston-upon-ThamesBritain needs an economic, efficient, clean, staffed, train service with plenty of no smoking signs, litter bins, no alcohol signs, no feet on seats signs.
Khyle Westmoreland, SwanseaBring back British Rail.
Brendan Conroy, RuislipLook at the success state ownership has had on the East Coast Main Line after the private company screwed up. We should repeat the exercise nationally.
Annie Leymarie, TotnesPrivatisation has not worked. Bring public transport back to the public.
