Mike James, PontypriddBring it back and get the right people to run it.
Anthony Fillingham, NewarkEast Coast have proved over the last few years that a national railway can work and run efficiently. Let us nationalise all rail companies and give the voters the profits.
Jean Mertzanakis, LeedsIf BR reduces prices and doesn’t make me sit on my luggage from Leeds to London I might use trains again rather than National Express buses.
Noel Inge, Harrold, BedsThe current system is uniquely stupid. Dogma should not be the starting point for delivering such a vital public service.
Robin Braddow, NewarkThe East Coast line runs right through my town. In fact I live only a few hundred yards from it. I can sit and watch the array of privatised train companies using it.
Malcolm Padmore, ChesterProbably split up into competing lines – West Coast, East Coast etc.
Ruby James, Stoke-on-TrentI’m a student studying in Bristol and I am rarely able to visit home because of extortionate prices, let alone travel.
Christine Cooney, ChippenhamGive people the incentive to ditch their cars and be more environmentally friendly.
Roger Calvert, NorthallertonI notice how much profit East Coast Lines has made which has not made the slightest impact on Government thinking because privatisation is purely ideological.
Krystal Garnett, MerseysideDedicate real investment for serious mass transit projects that realise the full benefits of existing rail alignments.
James Bavin , OswestryTake our railways back into public ownership.
Robert Law, DundeeIt was the worst thing that ever happened, privatisation of the railways. Its time re-nationalise.
John Miles Palmer, Stoke-on-TrentFirst help stop HS2 by pushing the cheaper alternatives for a high-speed network, regional connectivity and GB Freight. This would be supported by voters and passengers.
Marie Craven, BaildonReturn British Rail to the British people.
Danfox Davies, BournemouthBeeching made the railways fail. To rebuild their strength bring back British Rail.
Jayson GillhamWorld-class train transport please.
Mark Carter, BournemouthIt’s a no-brainer to all, apart from those that seek to make profit and cut jobs in the process and the politicians that look after their interests.
Ian Buckley, Castle DouglasCould we get BR as good as SNCF?
S Read, YorkWill a mainstream party have common sense enough to adopt this policy? Why are they so scared?
Angelo Ciraulo, EdenbridgeBring back British Rail.
Judith Edminson, Newcastle-upon-TyneI can’t wait, especially now the East Coast is privatised again.
Harry Duffin, BrightonThey should never have been privatised in the first place. It’s a total disaster, subsidised by the taxpayer.
Pat Vincent, Milton KeynesThe taxpayer is paying through the nose to give greedy individuals a huge profit. Re-nationalize a public service that should never have been sold off in the first place.
Will Shaman, LondonI’m glad to have found you.
Dawn Chamberlain, LiskeardOur rail and utility companies should never have been sold off in the first place.
John Stephens, BedfordThe dis-aggregated British Rail does not work for passengers; it works for shareholders.
Jean Goodacre, LeedsWhy are the Conservatives always selling the most valued things that make money in public hands. Their mates must love this. We have a solvent railway in the east.
Matthew Workman, WarringtonI work in Signalling Operations for Network Rail. Schedule 8 payments are government subsidies to private companies. Bring back British Rail.
John Midcalf, DarlingtonWe once had the best railway in the world. We now have to go by bus.
Koto Senyo, LondonBring back British Rail.
