Simon Wragg, BrockenhurstI’m fed up with being half an hour late every day. The Southern main line needs massive investment. SWT have made it clear they won’t do it. Maybe BR would.
Fred Mathisen, AberdourBR was broken up because it was over subsidised but the current clutch of companies is subsidised much much more, including shareholders’ dividends.
Roger Bridgman, LondonBritish Rail offered a good service. Left as it was, it would soon have reached the glossy standards of today’s overpriced, heavily subsidised private companies.
Anne Somers, MirfieldPublic Sector rail travel must be reintroduced.
Toby Morrison, LondonI feel that there is too much focus on profits and not customer service. Higher fares don’t seem to mean a better service. Bring back national rail.
James York, EdinburghThis week’s announcement that the East Coast rail network has returned £1billion to the taxpayers’ purse should be a nail in the coffin for the madness of privatisation.
David Calvert, SkegnessPrivatisation has been a disaster from the start. It was never the Government’s to sell in the first place. We the taxpayers owned it, not the politicians.
Sam Taylor, LondonThe rail network in this country is a disgrace. I’ve travelled the World and have yet to see worse, or more costly public transport.
Christine Oakhill, St AlbansEnd the farce and bring back common sense with a system that works for its customers.
John Wood, CromartyEnough is enough.
Odette Gotobed, Milton KeynesMost of us would support this decision. Privatising our railways was a very wrong thing to do.
Callum Sutherland, ForresNeed to end privatisation.
John Lean, MaidstoneIt is long past the time for our rail network to be returned back to public ownership and to providing reliable, quality service and not just profit.
Ivor Salmon, AltonAt the very least the infrastructure of the country should be owned by the people and operated for the benefit of the people.
Ann Hindley, CrowlePlease can we have an integrated railway system again?
Andrew Green, ManchesterThe cost of train travel is disgusting, especially compared to Germany and France. I only use it for rare long trips.
Sean McCarroll, PenzanceNo car. I travel a lot and found having to change trains more as before we used to travel straight through. Now have to suit train companies territories.
Nigel Rush, LlanelliIt is high time.
Jim Doyle, LondonThings are far worse today than when we had BR.
David Cross, LondonFor getting to work on time, reducing road deaths, and avoiding climate collapse, we need a nationalised rail network.
Kit Jackson, Herne HillTake a look at the acreage of BR land (taxpayer-owned land) that has been sold to private developers.
Rachael Milling, AmblesideRe-nationalise the railways and stop the sale of our assets to the rich.
Paul Smith, WarringtonToo much money going in the wrong pockets.
John Edmondson, HeswallI’m a proud member of the Wrexham – Birkenhead Rail Users’ Association.
Amy Williams, South Woodham FerrersAbellio Greater Anglia are the worst company. I hope this really proves people are fed up and changes need to happen.
David Hood, EdenbridgeThe service we are provided with is an utter disgrace. Continuous passing the buck of blame between these private organisations that are put in place to deliver travel.
Julia Vango, SheppertonBring back British Rail, so that we can try to make rail travel what it once was.
Beryl Murphy, OldhamNot before time.
David Mullin, PrestonRun for the benefit if the people not a few shareholders.
Colin Tosh, East BoldonCheap railways are needed to get cars off the road. Rail use is too expensive at present.
