Sharmilla Beezmohun, LondonThis is a really important cause to support.
Andrew Delderfield, Hemel HempsteadWe must have a service that is affordable and the public are not robbed of money by rich private companies who don’t even invest back into this country.
Royston Hocking, Tunbridge WellsGive it back.
Wendy Berentsen, WallsendI have never supported the privatisation of rail services in the UK and I never will.
Huw Akiba-Jones, ExmouthRe-nationalise now.
Philip Herbert, LondonYes indeed. Bring it back. It should never have been made a private concern in the first place. Silly complicated fares and off-peak advance discount if you are lucky.
Adam Hiley, Upminstergood luck with Your campaign
Rod Mathews, Richmond, North YorkshireIt should never have been privatised and we should be opening up the routes Beeching in his shortsightedness shut.
Bob Billington, MagorEnough of perpetual fare increases, no accountability, cattle class travel and excessive profits for train operators. It’s time to bring back a leaner, meaner BR.
Pat Cairns, DoncasterRail travel should be run for the public, not for the greedy to get richer. Cheaper travel for all.
Matthew Archibald, StroudI believe that all services that benefit the public, such as railways, should be nationalised and owned by the people for the people, not for the profit of shareholders.
John Rhodes, Crewe.Keep up the good work. I’m afraid with the posh boys in power who are only interested in lining the pockets of their mates in the City who bankroll them. Eton rules.
Joanne Lister, SouthamptonCapitalism is killing too many of our precious services. Let’s get them back in our hands, the British public.
David John Tyas, HolmfirthPlease bring back British Rail or British Railways as it was called.
Tony Gosling, BristolI’m a Bristol-based socialist researcher, writer and broadcaster. Check out my RT article here: ‘Bomber Beeching’: Undo the axeman’s vandalism and get Britain back on track.
Bill Kruse, East MoleseyRobbing bastards! Let’s not forget they couldn’t do this without the connivance of government.
Georgios Siminas, ManchesterPrivatisation has allowed behemoths of companies to immorally inflate rail prices and has left us with no alternative but to empty our wallets in order to travel.
Dennis O`Connell, BurnhamPut it back in our hands, not the shareholders’.
Geoff Lange, GosportPrivatised rail companies charge us twice. We the taxpayers pay for their subsidies then have to pay their extortionate fares.
Nick Urquhart, AberdeenThe shocking performance of rail services shows it needs to be state-owned. I do not remember the last time a train left exactly on time.
Angela Paine, StroudWe should never have let Major privatise British Rail.
Nicholas Commandeur, LeedsLong term management of train tracks needs to be integrated with the operations. Private finance of trains with private equity money is expensive compared to Government debt.
Anita Mannion, St AlbansI absolutely agree we should re-nationalise our railways.
Frank McQuaid, EasterhouseFor people not profit.
Jimmy Barrie, AberdeenWhy can’t these damned politicians see that we are being ripped off ? Nationalisation now.
Gareth Hoskins, BristolRailways should be owned by the people who use them.
Liz Moon, LetchworthAs soon as possible.
Gerald Guthrie, GlasgowThe private companies are bidding too much for franchises and trying to balance the books by job cuts.
David Tait, BarrheadBring it back.
Richard Stephenson Winter, MorpethI am increasingly of the opinion that natural monopolies should be in public ownership.
