Tristan Tozer, PlymouthIn a modern era like today, we strive to have better and reasonable transportation. Let’s get on track.
Alan Araujo, Rio De JaneiroI wish British Rail will be revived by 2023.
Amanda Bouskill, SwintonWe need a rail service that benefits its passengers. We need British Rail back.
Andrew Strong, Llandrindod WellsHow can a return ticket with one change be more expensive than the same journey broken up into four journeys?
Marie Nash, HarrowWe need affordable, reliable rail transport. Privatisation has not given us that.
Jacqueline Wilson, DoncasterWe need a proper integrated rail system run for the benefit of passengers, not shareholders.
Sally Weston, WarehamBring back our railway.
Damon Reid, ManchesterIt’s about time we faced facts and realised that there will never be proper investment in rail under private ownership.
William Grant, SurreyI don’t use the rail network since learning to drive but a national rail network/provider seems to make good financial sense as long as it is allowed to modernise.
Ian Evans, IpswichI’m a Tory supporter and backer of privatisations but I never supported privatising the railways which is chaotic. A centrally planned rail service is vital for the UK.
Margaret Hunt, DoncasterEast Coast line has proved that a state-run railway can succeed and make money, so let’s keep it nationalised and extend railway nationalisation.
William Coleman, EdinburghEvery public company that has been privatised works well but only for the avaricious money moguls who prey on ordinary people’s complacency.
Patricia Glen, BorehamwoodSince privatisation the rail service has deteriorated and become more expensive.
Paul Inman, Weston-super-MareGive us back that which was stolen from us – our railways.
AndiIt would be nice if Britain also still had some industry left in the form of locomotive and carriage manufacture, instead of having to buy everything from abroad.
David PageBritish transport for the people instead of being motivated by profit.
Pierre Ofzareck, Cologne, GermanyTo divide the railways into different companies makes a cut in responsibilities at the weakest point of the railway ever – the point between wheel and track.
David Ward, LondonEnough is enough.
Thomas Wilson, GravesendTaxpayers paid for it and we pay the MPs, yet they want to sell everything for profit.
Dugald Cameron, GlasgowGet rid of the spivs and shysters from our railway.
Sue Winterburn, YorkI am a regular rail user. East Coast line works, returning money to the exchequer not shareholders.
Peter Hannifan, BournemouthAn innovative transport system built with the shovels, barrows and early graves of our Victorian forefathers – today’s capitalist corporation is an insult to their memory.
Jack Painter, TelfordBring back our railway system.
Claire Callender, TotnesIt costs over £1000 to take my family from Devon to Edinburgh by train, and only £500 to fly.
Aaron Williams, HastingsIt’s time to have services publicly owned again, starting with the national rail.
Gareth Valentine-Saunders, RiponWe have outdated trains, poor performance and franchises being allowed to bid for routes they have previously handed back (National Express and East Coast).
Ian Wright, RedditchPrivatisation has not benefited the customer. Bring back BR.
Violet Seaward, LondonFares rising, delay, disruption and we have not got through another winter yet. Something needs to be sorted and quickly.
Ben Cowell, West YorkshireThe railways were a great parting gift of the Conservative government before they left in 1997 and now, more than ever, it is clear it simply just does not work.
