Robert Eadie, GlasgowTransport for the working man/woman is too important to leave to the greed of private enterprise.
Gordon Alcock, Stockton-on-TeesPut railways back in the public domain.
Brian Marden, ObanIt seems strange to be subsidising multi-millionaires to run our rail system, yet cutting benefits for some of our most vulnerable citizens.
Joseph Halloway, KeighleyI want British Rail back.
Norman Clegg, BlackpoolBring back our low fare railways God Save British Rail.
Keith Cain, LlangedwynRailways are a natural monopoly. If we are to combat climate change we need to get cars off the road. A public service would be more efficient and cheaper.
Jeanne Woodcraft, BerkhamstedI’m fed-up with subsidising this privatisation.
Deborah Croker, MelkshamI used to travel everywhere by train to visit family and friends and for leisure but that feels like a distant memory now. It became too expensive.
Timothy Geeson, LeedsThe Train Operating Companies and the Maintenance Companies all take profit. It’s a nice way to transfer government subsidies to them and it’s unfair.
David Wallace, BirminghamThe railways already belonged to us. The government have no right selling them off. Where did the money go to after the sell off ?
Claire Card, Shoreham-by-SeaIf the government puts the same amount of money into British Rail as it has into the private sector we would have a good, cheaper network.
Jo Vallance, NottinghamGood luck with this campaign.
Roz Lucas, PenrynPut Michael Portillo in charge of British Rail. He must be independent of any political party, like the Queen.
Peter Calliess, WienA public service in public hands is common sense.
Peter Dillon, SheffieldPrivatisation has given us a very expensive and inefficient way of travelling. It never worked and never will.
Peter Da Roche, ManchesterPeople before profit.
Rob Bowles, ManchesterA profitable asset for the UK not shareholders.
Ryan Kendall, LancasterThere is no need for competition in railways. People will get whichever train arrives when they are at the station, not which is cheaper.
Neil Hinkinson, BirminghamCrossCountry is a shocking service.
Henry Nayler, WatfordI don’t use trains, but my family does.
Richard Longhurst, LondonNot only the rail network but the whole of the transport network should be brought back into public hands.
Stephen Jarvis, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe sooner the better it’s back to British Rail – the better for all of us.
Mike FriendWhat the government seems to forget is that British Rail did not just run trains but also designed and engineered them and built them all with British labour.
Philip Mullen, LeedsThe fragmented nature of the privatised rail network benefits neither passengers nor the taxpayer – only rail shareholders.
Eleanor Milton, Newcastle-upon-TyneAll of our services should be nationalised, owned by the people for the people. Private companies should not be making profits from our utilities or transport.
Terence Sythes, Milton KeynesPrivatisation seems to be the default position of Tory policy. The services are never better run, but at least the select few can benefit.
Margaret Ashton, South ShieldsAny profit should be returned to the public purse, not shareholders’ pockets.
Brian RacherWhat we need now is a return of British Rail, in whatever form it may take, to get everything back under one roof.
David Grey, North ShieldsIt is madness that the profits from Britain’s vital infrastructure (and utilities) go to foreign owners when they should be re-invested in Britain and its workforce.
Sean Jackson, WindsorRailways for the people, not profit for the elite.
