Nicholas Flatt, ChelmsfordPrivatisation does not work.
Adrian Walker, LancasterCommon sense.
Jemma Harris, West ByfleetStop Southwest trains bad service and high prices.
Stephen Sparkes, Ulverston150 years of learning best practice of running a railway was thrown away at break-up. Absolute stupidity. Some people always think they know better.
Kimberley WalkerGet it brought back under one controlling body.
Anna Harrison-Melville, AshfordThe responsibility for our railways should be in one hand and accountable to the people.
Owen Dodson, LeedsThe private sector is renowned for not being able to run the railways without massive support from the Public Purse.
Chris Dommett, CambridgeI want to own it to make it better, not pay some hedge fund to own it and pocket the profits and still be subsidised by me.
Mark Murphy, Ebbw ValeBring back in public hands, but run as a company with the government as the only shareholder. This will cut waste like non-jobs we see in the NHS.
Robert Stewart, AkeleyFair deal for passengers and not money going to shareholders.
Graham Harrison, OldhamThe people need to make sacrifices and boycott the rail network. Nothing will ever change until the companies that run the rails lose money. A few days would be enough.
David White, HullThe awful privatised railways are ours. Please give them back to us.
Lesley Parkhouse, BathWe are being put to shame by other countries’ rail networks. What happened to the great British Railways? Bring them Back!
Brett Burnell, IpswichPrivatisation hasn’t worked.
Jason Lodge, HoveBring back publicly-owned railway, to show these companies how to run it.
David Jaggs, BillingtonI’m wholeheartedly behind this campaign.
Philip Scown, SheffieldPrivatisation of the railways has been a service and financial disaster. Properly funded public transport will help get the economy going for everyone.
Lucy Musk, Welwyn Garden CityA necessity that is run for profit and greed, the same as the utilities.
Peter Allerhand, MonmouthPrivatisation is a poor way to treat the general public whose ownership of nationalised industries has been devastated by corporate greed and petty politics.
Patricia Preece, LedburyWe regularly travel across the country, encountering delays due to cancellations, strikes etc. Different providers do not take any responsibility for the consequences.
Susan GassawayWhat about the Post Office and Royal Mail?
Ria JonesI worked for the railways for fifteen years and I left in 1993 as privatisation was coming in. I now cannot afford to travel by train.
Jane Banks, Newcastle-upon-TyneA truly important campaign which should also connect to the growing campaign against HS2 which will not benefit the North in any discernibly important ways.
Richard Duffy, BirminghamBring Back BR and Class 50’s also 1950’s/1960’s diesel multiple units.
Margaret McFadyen, NorwichToo right. Fragmentation of the railways to private companies is a total mess. Train travel is more expensive, more stressful and a lot worse than it used to be.
Lorna Jarman, BeaconsfieldPlease bring back sanity to our rail system.
Ben Marsden, RoystonTime to put the money we pay on tickets back into the network where it belongs and not in the pockets of shareholders.
Susan Cole, North ShieldsIt should never have been sold off and has never been successful. Bring back to public ownership and start the freight and post going by rail again.
Gerry Norvill, LowestoftBring back British Rail to make fares fairer.
Conall O’Nians, GlasgowAbsolutely.
