Norma Armstrong, MorpethThe current system is fragmented and expensive and confusing when trying to book tickets. We need to have systems and prices similar to those in Europe.
Jon McCarthyThis is a marvellous and absolutely necessary campaign.
Yua Newton-Gray, Merthyr TydfilI’ve been living my entire life with a horrible, poorly managed railway network, that needs to be fixed. I’m happy to push for the passenger, not for profit.
John Pruvedenti, SomersetBring back British Rail.
Kevin Jordan, CoalvilleI’m badly in need of a railway from Leicester to Burton. This can help us. Keep up the good work.
Paul O’Kell, YorkRailways should be a service for the people and not a cash cow for the wealthy. It should be run by the people for the people.
Brian Keeping, LondonFares get absurd as commuters are ever more crushed for space and reliability gets ever worse.
Fran Grubert, ManchesterPrivatising equals stealing. Give us back what is ours.
Angela Constantinou, LondonBring back British Rail.
Thomas Davies, Ross-on-WyeIt is incomprehensible that a national necessity is in the hands of private companies, many of them foreign.
Dylan Kilgour, MotherwellWhat’s the delay?
Katerina Turner, ChelsmfordThird world service for first class prices. I’m sick of spending insane amounts of money on trains that are terrible.
Marcus Podilchuk, TotnesReturn us to the golden age of nationalised railways.
Muhammad Rajput, BirminghamYes, yes, yes! I favour bringing back British Rail.
Carolyn Mayne, GuildfordWe need a public service, run for the public with the interests of passengers, not shareholders, at heart.
Martyn Dormer, BathThe railway represents a significant national asset which should be treasured, not milked for maximum profit.
Leonor Fontanilla De AurI love train, found it, as a fun way to travel.
Nicole Fekete, LincolnLower prices, customer centric and better integrated. Not much to ask in an OECD economy, right?
Andrew Wapshott, CroydonBritish Rail needed investment, not to be sold off. The government have let the public down.
Gordon Craig, EdinburghHaving now worked under a Government-run railway, although not perfect, let’s not go back unless GNER can return.
Peter Mullen, ManchesterHave some courage and re-nationalise the railways instead of behaving like a plastic Tory.
Christine Sweeney, DurhamPrivatisation is a mess. It’s just ripping off the public and taxpayers.
Bryn Escott-Allen, GloucesterWere there a viable alternative for me, I would definitely not be spending £85 per month for such poor service. The private companies are utterly useless in this case.
Bertie Shaw, DealI believe that without the involvement of private companies the railways would have little investment. I do believe in a national passenger operator (but just that).
Kenneth Marshall, SpaldingFares are a rip-off. They should be reduced and charged on a mile-on-mile basis regardless of route.
Richard Harcombe, NorthwichI love travelling by train for both ease of use and environmental reasons, but I feel bringing back BR will mean fares are less confusing and cheaper.
Emily Townsend, LondonIt’s not difficult to see the parallels between the current privatisation of the NHS and what was done to the railways over the space of 20 years.
Ian McDonald, MaidstoneLet’s ensure that the previous strict Treasury straitjacket on BR is not re-imposed. This is why privatisation supporters claim it has been a success.
Tony Trodden, MiddlesbroughThis debt amounts to theft of the public’s money.
Lynn Lansbury, SandownWin votes by doing something for the people.
