Paul Nelson, LondonThe London train system desperately needs improving.
Peter Crampton, HalifaxTime to take back what was stolen from us.
Stephen Helm, PontelandEast Coast Rail have shown that publicly-owned is better than privately-owned, for customers and taxpayers.
Ian Cowmeadow, LondonThe privatisation of national infrastructure has a conflict of interest at its core. Private companies are obliged to maximise shareholder returns above all else.
Peter Hethershaw, SheffieldPrivatised BR – one big transfer of taxpayers’ money into private hands.
Margaret Crawford, BrightonI am sick of paying high prices for tickets to use the terrible services of the rail companies.
Keith Riley, SouthamptonRun the railways for the benefit of society, not for the benefit of the wealthy shareholders.
Carol Byng, LudlowPrivatisation hasn’t worked. Let’s have it all joined-up again.
Paul Duckett, WindermereIf all the money spent on this stupid privatisation had been invested in BR we would now have the best rail system in the world. Peter Parker rest in peace.
Daniel Ferry, BlythBritain needs a good railway.
Cecilia Ballesteros, HovePublic transport in public hands.
Jayne Smith, BridportBring the railways back to more rural areas as many lines are still there. It would help get freight off the roads too.
Glyn Morgan, LiverpoolWe currently subsidise the rail network more heavily than we did when we owned it yet they still make a profit. That’s our money and it should be re-invested.
Reuben Puddy, CombertonIt’s a no-brainer. Sensible joined-up network.
Catherine Crosby, BuxtonPrices are ridiculous and the service would just work better if it was run as a whole.
Bert Bell, BarnstapleA cost-effective and efficient service can be achieved by a single provider of a nationalised rail service.
Peter Smith, Newcastle-upon-TyneIf it ain’t broke (i.e. East Coast) – don’t fix it.
Elizabeth Cross, ChichesterI long for the old days when the railways were run by people who were truly interested in their jobs and not run for greedy profiteers but for the passengers.
Tim Lander, WorthingBritish Rail was one of the things that put the Great in Great Britain. There’s not many things left that do.
Susan Walsh, BostonBring back British Rail.
Kieron Phillips, HartlepoolBritish Rail would benefit the whole country. As the BBC and the NHS are publicly owned, so should the rail service along with lots of other state services!
Jean-Ann Gascoigne, YorkIsn’t it obvious that privatisation is rubbish? The only rail line that is in profit and running trains on time is the only one that hasn’t been privatised, i.e. East Coast.
Tom Freshwater, WallingfordIt just makes sense.
Gavin Nicholson, HitchinKeep up the good work! We need railways run for the people, not private corporations.
Paul Schroder, HarlowNo money to shareholders, re-invest in British Rail.
Simon Iremonger, CambridgeDelay Attribution Board says it all…
Sheepa Ahmed, LondonThey are ripping us off.
R Ramsay, DundeeOther countries’ nationalised railways are now running chunks of ours. This is madness. Re-nationalise BR now. There could not be a better opportunity.
Alexander Camkin, RedditchJust bring back the way it used to be, efficient, reasonable prices. Above all else it should be state-owned, by the people for the people and not for private profit.
Mark Green, BirminghamA country’s transport infrastructure should never be in private hands and run for the profit of share-holders.
