Paul De La Cruz, LeedsUK rail is controlled by directors who never get the train. Give us back our rail services that used to be on time, clean and British.
Ian Rutland, DarlingtonThe railways should have always been owned by the public. It should only make profits to benefit all of us, not just a wealthy few. This goes for all services.
John Hindmarch, PrudhoeEast Coast. Why privatise when it’s making a profit.
Ellen Robson, Hemel Hempsteadbring it back. Things are a joke with these companies!!!
Patrick Spain, Milton KeynesYes to re-nationalisation, but I do think they should be run for profit, with profits used for re-vamping our railway lines and stations, future and for re-opening lines.
Steve Burns, BrightonCut carbon emissions and subsidise rail travel now.
Kwasi Agyemang-Prempeh, LondonPeople should be placed before profit. For that reason the railway industry is to be taken back to public ownership.
Geoff Horne, SheffieldWhy not the whole network?
Lerone Rose, PeterboroughIf it’s not broke don’t try and fix it. The government should never have privatised the railways. Bring back the slam door train too.
Ashley Collier, MansfieldBring back British Rail.
Denis Howe, LondonPassengers before profits.
Stefanie Pixner, LondonThe price of train fares is a scandal. Dividing up the service makes no sense. A unified service will help society at large.
Andrew Roberts, WarringtonI hate this crappy rail system we have. Something needs to change.
Joseph Kemp, KeighleyDown with our corporate overlords.
Philip Dixon-Phillips, IlfordEnough of this franchise nonsense – just bring BR back.
John Cowen, BrightonThe Southern debacle illustrates the absolute folly of dismantling our country’s rail network in the interests of private greed. The only answer is to re-nationalise.
Andy VaughanOne of the easy options for reducing CO2 emissions, would be to encourage people to use trains, not do the complete opposite.
Peter De Voil, ColsterworthI use the East Coast service fairly regularly and it is excellent. Please don’t privatise it.
Anthony Sturdry, YorkEnough is enough.
Andrew Drasar, StainesRe-nationalise the railways ASAP. They should never have been privatised.
Phillipa Partington, BedfordThe best rail line in the country is publicly owned.
Colin Mackenzie, ShrewsburyIt’s time for more accessible, affordable, accountable rail system that is owned by the public and is all inclusive.
Duncan Laverty, LeedsI work as a train guard for Northern Rail and I totally agree with putting people before profits for greedy private companies and shareholders. Come back BR – all is forgiven.
Oliver Charleston, LincolnPublic ownership of the railways is not just desirable but an urgent priority – Bring back British Rail.
Muhammad Ansari, OxfordThe government should own the rail system and provide service to the people, not people owning it for profit.
Alex Widdowson, BramptonConsidering the current privatised railway has a large subsidy, it doesn’t seem fair that it is run for profit, therefore I think it should be re-nationalised.
Liam Woods, BrightonPrivatisation of British Rail was the biggest farce our country has ever created.
Sam NicholA union of passengers and employees would be a far more democratic, direct and better way to run our railways.
Peter Jones, CambridgeFirst Capital Connect are always delayed and over-priced.
Carol Lindsay, KilconquharPrices up, service down. Now is the time to turn around.
