Robert Sellers, LondonThe government privatised the profit and nationalised the debt.
Laurie Walmsley,Public services for people not profit.
Matthew Busby, NewhavenIt’s about time.
Anna Popova, CambridgeI commute to work 5 days a week on an Abellio Greater Anglia train from Cambridge to Great Chesterford. The trains are delayed frequently.
Hannah Dewhirst, OxfordA re-nationalised railway will bring back sensible fares, accountability and a secure and happy workforce. Who can argue with that?
Terry Hayes, IlfracombeFirst Great Western run the oldest rolling stock in the country to Barnstaple. It’s a disgrace, and an embarrassment to the visitors of our beautiful area. It needs sorting.
Marie Craven, BaildonReturn British Rail to the British people.
Maureen Cooper, LondonThe railways need good management in the nationalised sector with the capacity to raise funds to make improvements.
Colton McKenna, KilwinningThe British people deserve British Rail back.
Barry Smith, ClevedonPut an end to private profit, public risk.
Stephen Baldwin, HalifaxNations depend upon their infrastructures in order to grow strong and healthy. A rail network must be owned by the many not the few because the many legitimise the nation.
Richard Buckland, EdinburghI use the East Coast line from time to time and find the service excellent since it was handed back to the public sector.
Richard WinfieldThe sooner the railways are re-nationalised, the better it will be for all of us – rail users and non-users alike.
Marianne Gaskell, WirralI can’t afford days out with my children on the train any more. They’re late, there’s not enough staff and never enough seats. Profits should benefit the country not shareholders.
Abdul-Nasser J G Baston, LondonA publicly owned, democratically accountable public transport system.
John Wilson, CambridgeshireNow there are so many different types of tickets in different areas, it’s impossible to be sure if you are getting a reasonable deal.
Lochlann Hughes, NewtownabbeyI desire for the railways of Great Britain to be de-privatised so that they are efficient, cheap and reliable, in turn helping commuters and the environment.
Leanne Hubbard, Tyne And WearI think all our travel and utility companies should be nationalised. It’s the only way this country is going to become strong and create jobs, and good pay and pensions.
Dean Robinson, HastingsThe UK has the most expensive and over-complex tickets in the EU.
Richard Morgan, BradfordWe’ve had enough of companies taking profits and under-investing. All profits, responsibility and decisions should be the Government’s on behalf of the population.
Claire Callender, TotnesIt costs over £1000 to take my family from Devon to Edinburgh by train, and only £500 to fly.
Jonathan Dell, YorkBritish Rail branch lines are sorely missed by many.
Stuart Ewen, DewsburyPublic services are what tax is for. They are not there to be sold off on the cheap to make politicians and their buddies a quick buck. They’re ours, not theirs to sell.
Lesley Barnes, EalingI think a fractured rail service is crazy and more expensive.
Dan Fortnam, High WycombeStop pumping public money into private enterprise, creating profits for the wealthy rather than keeping rail transport affordable for the nation.
Stephen Williams, Ashford, KentI wholeheartedly agree with your aims. Ex-British Rail employee, took voluntary redundancy in disgust after privatisation. RIP Bob Crow and John Green.
Barbara Greetham, GranthamTragic.
Tim Newman, BristolThe rail system is a number of broken monopolies and not competitive. This is for the public good, it should be treated as such.
Richard Hampson, PeterboroughPrivatisation only lines the pockets of greedy people while everyone else loses out. Oh but wait, that’s what’s at the core of every Tory policy.
Sandra Day, RiponThey should have stayed as they were.
