Graham Robinson, FavershamI’m a past British Railways’ employee on Sealink.
Adrian Allum, FarnboroughPeople before profit, please.
Andrew Robertson, LondonPrivatisation is not working. It’s cost us billions and then we have to pay through the nose for tickets too.
Jonathan Grinham, LewishamBring back British Rail. It is the only answer to stop the ever increasing of fares.
John Greig, EdinburghNationalise the rail network.
Richard Rankin, North HumbersideIt’s about time they brought back British Rail and realised that competition is horrible for the passenger.
T Jackson, CoulsdonRail operators earn increasing profits and get government subsidies of around £4 billion a year. A good deal for passengers and a good deal for taxpayers?
Tula Jones, SwanseaTrains are disgusting at present.
Jed Nejzer, LeedsGood work everyone. Bring about change with peaceful non-compliance.
Margaret Stritzel, DerbyI have many happy memories of travelling by train with my father as a child. I would love to see the return of British Rail.
Peter Scott, RayleighAll essential services should he run by the state for the people and not for profit. The state ownership of Network Rail is a great first step.
David Preston, DarlingtonMy father worked for BR for 24 years until his retirement. He saw the best and the worst of government interference. We need change now before it’s too late.
Lewis Evans, Stanford-le-HopeWe need BR back.
Edward Luigi, PortsmouthGive us back some of our family jewels.

Rebecca Devitt, SouthamptonRe-nationalise the railways and stop creaming off a profit for people wealthy enough not to need it.

Lee Ward, LondonWith the present divisive system there is no co-ordination, only feeble excuses.
James Scott, PutneyHow these companies get away with making us pay extortionate fees for sub-standard services is beyond me. Bring back British Rail.
Trevor Griffiths, CreweBring back British Rail.
Stephen Sinden, WyeAt least under British Rail it was easy to go anywhere in the UK and not be swamped with a maze of different fares.
Ben WalshIt is about time we re-nationalised railway system. It has been privatised for far too long!
Catherine Crosby, BuxtonPrices are ridiculous and the service would just work better if it was run as a whole.
Richard Hart, BromleyRailways are a service and not for private profit.
Desiree Muller, LondonBring back British Rail. All is forgiven.
