Bill Porter, LiverpoolStop destroying our magnificent railways and heritage just to make a financial killing.
David Shaw, SwindonRe-nationalise. It’s that simple.
Clare Whiting, BrightonYou know it makes sense.
Fharat RehmanI will learn to drive I think. It’s much cheaper.
Mahmoud Cassim, TranentBring Back BR.
Daniel Shooman, BangorTrains should be cheap and reliable and all the income should be re-invested to continuously improve the service.
Patricia Jones, Y FelinheliIt should never have been privatised in the first place.
Richard Painter, Waltham CrossLet those currently running the Great Northern line run the rest of the railways. They are doing a better job than the rest already.
Joseph Evans, WinchesterGreat Idea.
Dawn Curtis, LiskeardAs a regular user of British railways and a British citizen I want British Rail to belong to the great British public.
Sam La Roche, WrexhamNationalise BR for a better service, a cheaper service, a public service. It’s what the public want.
Peta-Jane Ditchburn, AndoverIt was a lot better when British Rail ran the railways.
Adam Potts, LiverpoolEnd the franchise madness now. Directly operated and owned railways.
David O’Driscoll, LondonYou know it makes sense.
Roger Hawkins, MorpethRe-nationalise, but keep a limited role for the private sector in running some trains and ancillary services like catering.
Jim Granter, AlsagerWe shouldn’t have to wait this long before we get back what was once ours.
Mark Arnold, LondonI suffer using the Thameslink driver-only service, with no on-board announcements, and I consider this dangerous. Trains consistently delayed/cancelled due to broken trains.
Matthew HillIf the companies fail we have to bail them out anyway – what’s the point? No private critical infrastructure.
David White, BicesterPrivatisation does not save money – I’ve been outsourced from a civil servant job and it is a fact that it costs more from private industry.
Robert McDonald, UxbridgeA co-ordinated, state-run railway system has got to be better than the overpriced mess we currently have.
Richard Povall, KingsbridgeTired of funding shareholders with outrageous rail ticket prices. We’re the highest in the world.
Amanda Barr, MalpasI wholeheartedly believe this is one of the best things to do for this country, removing barriers to travel, increase ability to earn and pay more taxes.
Alex Kay, LondonWe need a rail service, not unethical profiteering at public expense.
Conor Healy, LondonBring back British Rail. The system we have now is a farce.
Nicholas Commandeur, LeedsLong term management of train tracks needs to be integrated with the operations. Private finance of trains with private equity money is expensive compared to Government debt.
Charlotte Moncrieff, BrightonThe last train journey I made was a nightmare and the toilets were broken and/or filthy.
Anne Somers, MirfieldPublic Sector rail travel must be reintroduced.
Phil Owens, LiverpoolPrivatisation has been a ridiculously costly experiment. Everything on the railway now costs multiples of its value due to profits for long chains of contractors.
Ben Bebbington, SandwellThe rail system is clearly a natural monopoly. Why are its profits going to private companies, not the British people?
Kieranne Page, LondonEnough of these foreign companies making money when it should be the UK who runs the trains and has no over-pricing monopoly on the train fares. BBBR. Enough crap.
