Toby Jenkins, LondonBring back a utility managed as a whole for the whole population.
Michael Hing, LondonNo more privatisation.
Nick Avins, LeekYes, I fully support the return of BR and turning away from the great corporate mess we now have on our railways.
Jill Sanders, HamptonInvestment in the service and for those who use it can’t by wasted in dividends.
Laura Virtanen, TrowbridgeI am disappointed with the service from Trowbridge to Bath which I have just heard will continue for the next four years.
Stephen West, BristolOur forefathers paid for the railways through hard graft and taxes, yet most didn’t gain a penny in the great British rail sell-off.
Mary Ion, BromleyWe pay extortionate prices to stand like cattle. It makes no sense for a railway to be run for private profit.
Mark Westendorp, Lyme RegisWe are paying for it anyway so let’s have it back.
James Andrew Robson, LeedsPut passengers before profits. We’re the only country in Europe that has a privately-run national railway network, with poor governmental control and ‘toothless’ regulators.
Christopher Corbett, LondonThe public should not continue to subsidise private enterprise.
Nick Monaghan, CastlefordRe-nationalisation is the right and only way to bring the railways back to a real form of public transport, accessible to and affordable by everyone.
Stella Thomas, Hebden BridgeWe need all our public services to be nationalised. Let’s start with the railways.
Moira Smyth, YateleyIt is evil the way prices have been hiked up in the last 6 years.
Pete Williams, SouthamptonI’d rather go by train than drive, but the sad fact is the car is far cheaper, even when proportionally factoring in initial price, tax, insurance, fuel and depreciation.
Emma RobbinsIsn’t it obvious?
Jayne Turner, CardiganThis lot would sell their own grannies.
Pip Banham, NorwichTake it back and don’t waste millions on making the London to Birmingham run quicker. It is not needed.
Susan Ashby, LondonDe-nationalisation of the railways has not worked. Pouring more money in is not the answer. We’ve paid for it so now reclaim ownership.
John Sullivan, GlastonburyWe moaned about the trains when it was government-run, but the alternative is worse.
Ron Glatter, Hemel HempsteadI’m with you all the way.
Joseph Pitchford, HarrogateI bought my train ticket for my regular commute. However, I accidentally bought it for the next day and was then tricked into giving my details for a £100 fine.
Mary Price, WorthingTo replace highly trained guards with glorified customer service operatives is ridiculous and an insult to rail users.
Joseph Hargreaves, TodmordenI would like the railway system to be run nationally to support train manufacturing and reduce private companies.
Matthew Jenkins, WorcesterWhy are the Green Party the only main party supporting this popular and practical policy?
Lee Salter, CroydonBring back British Rail. It should be run for the people, not for private profit.
Major Phil Stout, SawbridgeworthStop TOCs making massive profits at the expense of the public traveller whilst providing a far worse service.
James Register, LondonGood luck.
Reece Watren, SheffieldIt’s horrible to be sat on a 142.
Gwen Li Benga, IpswichThe government doesn’t care. Bring back our rail.
Sioned-Mair Richards, SheffieldIt’s too important to be left to the private sector.
