Eric Mcrory, BearsdenThe last time the railways were nationalised they were systematically starved of investment. Ensuring that does not happen again will make the re-nationalisation successful.
Ann Bennett, Kings LangleyI sincerely hope this works.
Liz Grant, CamborneI would like British Rail back as, at the moment, if I were to try to buy a ticket for a train journey, I just would not know how to find the price or the timetable.
Hannah BirkettI can barely afford to commute to work any more. The service is never on time and of appalling quality.
Dee Boyle, YorkI am one of many regular passengers who would prefer the rail network in the UK to remain in British hands and not go into the hands of private companies from abroad.
Trevor Millington, LeedsI totally agree with the cause. Some services should not be for profit. In my experience private does not always equate to efficiency.
Dave Shepherdson, Newcastle-upon-TyneI’m fed up with Northern Rail shoddy carriages.
Tom Tyler, KentThe system we have at the moment is not working and is not very good!
Paula Du Luc, RedhillWe need to stop governments selling off our British services to other countries. Make our railways British again.
Richard Jenkins, BridgendActually, I would want a Welsh Rail. I’m Welsh, not British, but bring back ownership of vital services to the people.
Andrew Stewart-Wright, RugbyMore money has been wasted on consultants and legal fees that could have been spent on Rail. It would be great if we had this wasted money spent on rail instead.
Nick O’Brien, WhitchurchHaving travelled extensively by train for over 25 years I can definitely say the rail service has gotten worse since privatisation.
William Tyler, Hebden BridgeThis is next to an outrage.
Peter Jameson, WallsendMy father was a BR employee for several years and was proud to work for them. Sadly he has passed on now but would be mortified at the greed and ineptitude of today
Brian Sowerby, HuddersfieldEast Coast line has been a success since put back in government control. Don’t throw that away now.
Adrian Cross, BlackburnI agree that British Rail should be re-nationalised.
Nigel James, WarringtonPrivatisation has not delivered efficient, unified and affordable service. Re-nationalise for public interest reasons.
Jamie Bramwell, CheshireThatcher sold off most of the country now Cameron wishes to complete her mission!
Chris Bromfield, YeovilBring back British Rail, for the people, by the people and for the future of the railways.
Karl Madert, LondonFor the taxpayer not the shareholder.
Lindesay Irvine, LondonAs the chronic chaos and mismanagement (not to mention the costly subsidy from public funds) shows, there is an unanswerable case for a re-nationalised rail service.
Paul Foster, HartlepoolOne boss, one set of rules and strategy.
Peter Robinson, DunfermlineAye. Bring it back. Now.
Stuart Daw, Newcastle-under-LymeWhat a way to run a railway!
David Lang, Hemel HempsteadA shambles, the East Coast line shows public enterprises are more effective than political dogma.
David Hurst, Newcastle-upon-TyneNow Thatcher has gone, it’s time we erased the odious Me! Me! Me! legacy she and her minions left behind and saw the return of services run for people, not profit.
Martin Lakie, WorcesterEnd fragmentation, ridiculous complexity, huge hidden subsidies and profiteering now.
John Farrar, Stoke-on-TrentPeople deserve a safe, reliable rail service that is affordable.
Anthony Bartolo, Gillingham, KentStop wasting everyone’s money and just go back to British Rail. You know it makes sense!
Anna Scheer, Melbourne, AustraliaBritish Rail was a functioning service. The new system is hopeless and unreliable.
