Mark Halden, St AlbansRegular commuters need a break. Rail fares are overpriced, the most expensive in Europe. Rolling stock is old. Not enough space on trains. Bring back British Rail.
Steven Houghton, WakefieldNon-privatisation.
Vivek Patel, LeicesterWe need cheaper public transport.
Jane Caplan, OxfordA fight worth fighting.
Kevin Doherty, DumbartonRe-nationalise rail, power, mail and all other industries privatised by government, especially the Tory’s selfish greedy millionaires.
Colin Nicholson, EdinburghPrivatisation of publicly owned assets is theft.
Leslie Rowe, Richmond, North YorkshireVirgin Trains failed to provide an adequate service once before.
Jim Stroyan, HuddersfieldThe time is ripe to start taking back the railways. A lot of franchises are due for renewal so don’t renew them.
James Hurst, Newcastle-upon-TyneEast Coast line making a profit for the country and yet they want to privatise it – where is the common sense in that?
David Fisher, ReadingI’m a regular ECML passenger – it runs efficiently and makes a profit. So if it ain’t broke why fix it? Re-nationalise the rest and who knows what improvements might follow?
Fred Torr, TruroIt couldn’t make it worse.
Lee Riley, OswaldtwistleIt’s time to bring it in-house and put the profits back into the railway.
Wilma HumeHikes in prices and the service in North Ayrshire is disgusting.
Ron Chennells, Newcastle-upon-TyneIt needs to be done as soon as possible.
Phillip Harvey, LondonToo expensive, delays and dirty trains. Sort it out!
Linda Uruchurtu, CambridgePrivatised rail companies haven’t provided better services, but uneven ones, with ever increasing fares.
Judy Pemberton, PrestatynSomething like this needs to be under one umbrella to make sure things run smoothly and be sure that maintenance is properly carried out on a regular basis.
Graham Pascoe, SouthportI am a train driver and believe strongly in re-uniting the railway for the good of all.
Ahmed Desai, LondonA new British Rail is a commonsense approach for a greener transport system for the UK.
Peter SleggBefore privatisation, British Rail was the second most efficient rail service in the world, second only to Japan.
Linda Johnson-Laird, Waltham AbbeyI’m totally behind this movement. Bring it on.
Steph Walker, Manchestera service that operates for the ease and good of the people and not to make profits for private businesses please.
Katrina Taylor, WhitstableNationalisation to benefit every passenger, not privatisation to benefit shareholders’ bank balances.
Moira Smyth, YateleyIt is evil the way prices have been hiked up in the last 6 years.
Hazel Willis, Saffron WaldenI’m tired of being over-charged and exploited by my train company. I want fair fares and a service that runs on time – for everyone.
Steve Soar, BirkenheadRail fares are massively overpriced because the primary concern is to pay more and more dividends to shareholders and executives.
Martin Rowlands, WidnesI just hope that the politicians accept that the current system would improve if it was just one company with proper accountability. Gas, electricity and water are the same.
Jeff TaylorWe need you British Rail.
Martin Griffiths, FraserburghTake rail transport out of the hands of profiteers and banks.
Ian Choi, CardiffI’ve never been on a train journey without delay or cancellation. Now the train fare is going up again. Most of these franchises aren’t even British.
