Anthony Stunners, WarboysJust that – bring back British Railways – and steam too, whilst we are about it. Then we would have a REAL railway.
Ed Thwaites, TewkesburyBring back Network SouthEast too.
Andrew Adam, NorwichWe need a fair rail network that is affordable and works.
Daryl Staples, ChathamEveryone battle for this
Katherine Stansfield, Frinton on SeaPlease re-nationalise British Rail services.
Steve Allen, SheffieldJust make it public.
Kevin Madden, BirminghamIt’s time to return all our assets to the people – water, gas, electric too.
S Toyne, YorkMy husband worked in a once thriving railway industry in York until privatisation in the 90’s destroyed this. So many skilled people became unemployed, it was devastating.
Julia Parsons, LondonNationalise railway, water and fuel.
Diane Coleman, HuddersfieldBritish Rail should never have been privatised. It needed investment but the road lobby rules in Britain.
Carol Rowett, Berwick-upon-Tweedget rid of unrealistic and confusing fare structures. Let’s go back to having fixed fares for journeys so we all know where we are.
Andrew Stewart-Wright, RugbyMore money has been wasted on consultants and legal fees that could have been spent on Rail. It would be great if we had this wasted money spent on rail instead.
Norman NoyI must admit I have not travelled on the railways since British Rail finished and it was all split up, because I didn’t approve.
Edward Graham, PrudhoeRail prices are ridiculously high, far too expensive for pensioners. If prices were lower more people would use the railway, particularly at off-peak times.
Yvonne Sanders, MaidenheadIt is a public service and needs to be in public control with no purpose for profit.
Jerome Lejeune, LondonEast Coast is a success, keep it public, use this as a template for other parts of the network.
Robin Richardson, Walton-on-ThamesIf East coast can do it with such great service then bring it on.
Denis Thomson, OtleySurely the success of the East Coast mainline since the demise of the franchise proves the point.
Neil Ainsby, IckletonPassengers not profit.
John Beardmore, IlkestonWith real investment in rail we could do so much to improve our environment, but a privatised industry is full of perverse incentives. Bring back BR, and go for it.
Paul Cope, Hayling IslandBring back British Rail – it belongs to the people not private business.
Malcolm ClaytonWe must get people to join together for this extremely worthy cause.
George Miller, IpswichThis is a necessity now.
Linden Ross, DunbarFares too high, fare structure incomprehensible, need to invest if we want public to be greener and use the railways before the car, need to be as efficient as Europe.
William Shearer, LondonThe great experiment should now end. Privatisation has not worked. Talent has been lost as train operating companies now work in ‘silos’.
Ewan GreenIf we bring back British Rail we can increase our freight and trade in Britain.
William Hall, HatfieldPrivatise rail companies put profits ahead of passengers and continue to offer the travelling public a third rate service.
Zaic Holbrook, EdinburghPrivatised rail has only made travel more expensive for both the government and for travellers and we still lag behind the rest of Europe in performance.
Gilbert Fisher, KilmarnockThey should never have been privatised in the first place, as this is a true public monopoly.
Trevor Lewis, LondonReturn all public services back to people, ownership and management.
