Marie Priest, HoveIt’s time to stop the obscenity of big companies taking too much in profits at the expense of the public.
Owen Thomson, AberdeenThese vultures are burning far more public money than BR ever did (and it’s all going into private pockets.)
Cathrine Simmons, Great TorringtonThe railway system is a mess. It is hard to book tickets at sensible prices, our local trains are full, in bad condition and uncomfortable while rural areas are neglected.
Rupert Rooksby, NottinghamSort it out Scameron.
Jack Malin, HoveEveryone who uses the trains on a daily basis can see that privatisation has failed. Trains cancelled with little warning and the dreadful rail replacement buses.
David Muir, GlastonburyI fully support the desire to bring back an international network serving Scotland and Wales and England, especially in Scotland.
Graham Thomas, KidwellyThe sooner the better. Let’s put an end to what foreign investors call the UK – Treasure Island.
Elizabeth Timms, St NeotsYou’d do better supporting the Green Party than Labour if you want this to happen.
Trevor Walsh, OldhamRe-nationalise and keep the profits to be invested in the infrastructure.
Nick Brooks, NottinghamshireJust one more thing where the public are ripped off, to the benefit of the fat cat bosses.
Issa Norton, WellingboroughWe need a more efficient, cost-effective service, and bringing back British Rail could do it.
John Lintern, PlymouthTrains becoming overcrowded. Operating companies have supplied new rolling stock but there is a lack of decent luggage space on long distance trains.
Bryan Thomas, BristolPrivatisation was always a ridiculous idea and we need a transport network that is cheap, reliable and not dictated by the blinkered profit motive of rich investors.
David Tyler, AbergavennyThis is a no-brainer. The reasons for re-nationalisation far outweigh the crass commercial arguments for private ownership, especially since that is mostly foreign.
Margaret Gordon, GodalmingPrivatisation has not worked. We have spent a fortune putting money into shareholders’ pockets instead of reinvesting it back into the railway system.
Jim Cragg, DerbyProfit adds to the price of a ticket.
Joyce Paterson, StamfordHow do the current owners expect the elderly without IT skills to book an economical journey, I wonder?
Colin Anderson, AirdrieI’m fed up with poor service and high prices.
Steven Toms, YorkThe railway needs investment in rolling stock to relieve overcrowding. The present system cannot deliver this.
Andrew Remedios, BrightonNo more subsidies to fat cat franchise owners. We need a public transport system fit for public use.
Helen Bright, LondonTrains are over-priced, over-crowded and never on time. Prices rise yet service get worse.
Liz Andelin, OtleyIt’s about time it was returned to us. East Coast Rail has proved that it works better than privately-owned.
Jamie Richardson, SouthseaThis really needs to happen.
David Cottrell, CromerBring back British Rail.
Anthony Jeffries, LincolnEast Coast is in public hands and runs at a profit. The simple thing is not to renew franchise contracts. Take the lines back one by one.
Andrew VarleySince privatisation prices have rocketed and services plummeted in the North – overcrowding, old stock, not enough trains. Promises, promises and nothing ever done.
Gary Linney, YorkBetter for all. British Rail must be put back into public ownership.
Patricia Jones, BirkenheadIt’s no joke when you can’t visit your family as much as you would like due to over-inflated fares.
Brendan Sullivan, St Leonards-on-SeaOne rail network with proper funding and trains on time. Let’s get it.
