L CJ, PenzanceAs a teen addict living in Penzance, I am unable to afford the train to attend a youth narcotics anonymous meeting that I would particularly benefit from.
Michael Clifford, HinckleyStop the present rip-off of taxpayers’ money.
Jools Johnston-Elliott, FavershamBring back British Rail.
Suki Mann, GosportEnd corporate greed. Bring back people’s services for the people.
Thomas WestWhy subsidise parasitic bosses when you can subsidise what are supposed to be the public services they sit on?
Katherine Stansfield, Frinton on SeaPlease re-nationalise British Rail services.
Jen Tierney, SouthportIn these days of overcrowded roads and polluting automobiles, we need an affordable, clean and comfortable rail network. Money should be ploughed into providing this.
Matt Wellings, WrexhamI’ve joined. Good on ya.
Daniel McCarty, SunderlandWe need a centrally-planned, efficiently-run railway again, run for the benefit of the people, and no more foreign-run franchises or shambles electrification projects.
Fraser Paterson, EdinburghThe last 20 years have been a shambles, not least the Railtrack saga. Service standards on trains have also plummeted, whilst prices have rocketed.
Alan Hetherington, CarlisleStop the waste and profiteering and provide a well-funded and maintained public train service everyone can be proud of.
Matt Dunn, MontgomeryPrivatisation failed miserably. British Rail for British people, not cash-hungry directors of private companies.
Jason George Walker, Stoke-on-TrentNationalise all public services.
Ivor Salmon, AltonAt the very least the infrastructure of the country should be owned by the people and operated for the benefit of the people.
Steve Brown, Newcastle Upon TyneA shocking service. I’m sick of sending compensation forms and complaining for late running or cancelled trains. It costs a fortune and isn’t reliable. BBBR.
Marie Phillips, RotherhamIf it was in public ownership it would still need a lot of work to make it a decent service. It was not perfect.
Kevin Reynolds, BrightonThe current state of affairs is ridiculous!
Malcolm Young, GrimsbyBringing back British Rail is the sensible thing to do. Unfortunately this government does not do sensible.
Daniel Musgrove, CardiffI am tired of paying a fortune for a train that doesn’t have enough carriages to allow passengers a seat, that’s often late, causing it to terminate at an early station.
Dorothy Granville, MiddlesbroughBritish taxpayers should own British Rail, not French taxpayers or private investors.
Steve Parkin, LeedsThe privatised rail company bosses are boasting that many more people are using the railways since privatisation. That’s because the road network is overcrowded.
Natasha Richards, SalfordIt just makes sense to do this.
David Miles, KentOur railways are obviously not working as they are. The government should sort it out, but it’s unlikely as it’s such a gutless entity.
Joe Bishop, ReadingWe just want a radical policy from the Labour party. We don’t want to have a choice of the same 3 policies come election time.
Elizabeth Clark, PeterboroughAlso bring back some of the many lost stations. Reduce individual cars on the road and more railways for everyone.
John Greig, EdinburghNationalise the rail network.
David Hornsby, ShipleyRe-nationalise the rail network and put the customer, not profits, first.
Andrew Green, SwanseaBring back British Rail. All is forgiven.
Linda Cracknell, EnfieldWhen the contracts run out I believe keeping British Rail as one is far better than having all these different operators working off different hymn sheets.
Geoff Merchant, LancasterMilliband, remember what the Labour Party is about.
