Richard Smith, EastleighBring back British Rail.
Jenifer Jobbins, BodminI’m tired of the mix-ups and poor service.
Alan McDonald, ClackmannanScotRail is a joke. See #failrail for details on Facebook. No seats 40% of time, 30 or more minutes delayed or just fully cancelled.
Lee Rigby, WidnesRe-nationalise the railways.
Mary Rowntree, DurhamTrain services should be in our own hands and any profits could be ploughed back in for improvements and maintenance, not given to foreign countries.
Joyce Morgan, HastingsThe railways have been a total mess since they were first de-nationalised by a Tory government, or should I say given away?
Andrew Thomson, RamsgateA fully efficient national rail network returned to its rightful place in the public sector is what we need. It shouldn’t be in the hands of a profit-making fat cat elite.
Charles Lewis, EdinburghYes Bring Back British Rail.
Steve O’Donnell, LancasterAlmost every country in Europe has state-run railways, all of which are better than ours. I know because I have used them extensively.
Tony Hoad, IlfordThe present system is fragmented and needs a common co-ordinated approach.
Antony Hearmon, LondonAll utilities, mail etc. education, services, transport should be apolitical and not run for private profit.
Ben Stratton-Woodward, LondonThe movement and travel of the regular person is tantamount to true freedom. No matter where to or when a man should be able to travel for love, trade, family or a favour.
Rachael Dibb, WaterloovilleI hate South West Trains.
Laurence Hunt, BirminghamWe the people deserve an efficient, affordable and reliable transport system. That’s not too much to ask.
Richard Cooley, ShipleyOne of the worst things we did was sell off all the utilities and British Rail. It’s about time we brought them back as not-for-profit organisations.
George Bell, GatesheadPrivate rail is expensive and inefficient, robbing the tax-payers.
Hazel Hawes, LondonRe-nationalisation but make sure that those in charge are qualified to be there and honest. I wish I had known about the protest earlier as I would definitely have been there.
Phil Robinson, Bury St EdmundsI fully support re-nationalisation of the railways.
Simon Gleaden, RetfordBritish Rail was doing well before it was privatised. It really was getting there, as the adverts used to say. Chris Green was a great railwayman and business leader.
Keith Lloyd, NorwichI’m a former career railwayman saddened by what’s been lost in the name of profit.
Nathan Grainger, HoveOver-priced privatisation kills.
Shelley Mulholland, SheffieldPrivatisation just hasn’t delivered.
Anne Ackroyd, PeterboroughEast Coast is doing really well. Let’s keep it publicly run and integrate the whole network too.
Karen Christmas, YorkHopefully, one day we might get back to one kind of National Rail provider, stopping all private investors milking our system.
Anne Amison, BrixhamLet’s have a service run for the benefit of travellers and employees, not shareholders.
Roger Hawkins, MorpethRe-nationalise, but keep a limited role for the private sector in running some trains and ancillary services like catering.
Mark Kingston, RingmerAnd while you are at it, bring back the rail link between Brighton and Tunbridge Wells.
Roberta Gamble, ShrewsburyFares have increased out of proportion to wages or the cost of living.
Andrew Smith, MerseysideBring back British Rail. Fares would be cheaper.
Herrat Heinrich, BristolStop selling the family silver. We are moving down the evolutionary ladder again, ruled over by the insane. What isn’t good for everyone should not even be considered.
