Paul Mackney, LondonBring the British rail system under state ownership and democratic control.
David Thompson, LiverpoolRail is a natural monopoly and should be run as a true service for the people, never for profit.
Andy Fiore, WivenhoeWe need to get back public ownership of BR, with company bonuses back to the users.
Neil Walker, GloucesterStop this creeping privatisation of everything.
Brian Racher, West SussexLet’s get it all back under one roof and run by people who understand the rail industry, not those fat cats who are getting fatter by the minute at our expense.
Simon Collinge, LlangollenHalt the privatisation of the NHS as well.
Christopher McNaughton, Newton AbbotBring back BR now.
Solomon Gibson, DudleyIn a system where the workers’ travel is a necessity to the workers’ production, it is the workers who should own the means of travel.
Sandra Knight, EdinburghKeep British Rail publicly owned.
Miranda Phillips, St AlbansOver-priced and complicated system of railways. We need a system which is about travelling and not all about how many pieces a system can be broken into as investments.
Albert Mitchell, DundeeI think I could get something going in Dundee.
Christine & Vic Taylor, NottinghamBring back BR, and just manage it properly – you don’t need private firms for that.
Lucas Thorpe, Newcastle-upon-TyneKeep East Coast public.
Neil Salvage, BrightonVital.
Sophie Wildman, LondonNationalise the railways. Owned by the people, for the people.
Michael Hall, CoventryPeople over profit.
Greg McLean, FalkirkRailways should be run for the benefit of passengers not profits to line the pockets of fat cat directors.
Helen Drew, Tyne and WearRail travel should be affordable for all, not just the rich.
Francine Shaw, LondonGNER was re-nationalised for a year after the private company messed up. In that time it became profitable again and on time. As a reward, they sold it to Virgin.
Gary Cook, CullomptonIt’s a network so it needs to be one organisation.
Marion Perrett, LeedsI use East Coast a lot and I love it. Public transport should not be a private enterprise – it should belong to those who use it – us.
Phil Wall, PontypriddThe poorest suffer; the richest grow richer.
Mark Slater, CaterhamThe most efficient franchise is publicly run. Government funding of the railways has soared since privatisation. It has been an expensive failure.
Angela Gardner, ManchesterI am embarrassed by the shambolic services, the prices astronomical and will not encourage car users to leave the road.
Richard Sutton, HexhamI would rather the public purse profited from a crappy rail service than fat cats and their shareholders.
Cameron Stewart, GlasgowThe prices, the staff and the quality of the trains are all really poor. We need to try and reopen the lines closed by Beeching as well.
Rachael Foxevans, YorkQuite simple really – public transport owned by the public for the public.
Susan Crawford, Newcastle-upon-TyneA ludicrously over-priced and over-complicated railway system.
Nicholas Burman-Vince, LondonAn efficient and affordable train service is vital for the economic well-being of the country.
