Cathi Francis, BromleyJoined up systems please. We need the UK to function effectively and think long term.
Jennifer Holden, FavershamIt seems ludicrous to pay out enormous subsidies to private companies for a service that is the most expensive and arguably the worst in Europe.
Anne Harrison, LondonWhat a bizarre system we have in UK when our privatised system is providing profits for the publicly-owned nationalised systems of our European neighbours such as SNCF.
Gordon Reid, ExeterJust do it.
Robert Harvey, BourneAnd restore the lines that Beeching should never have axed.
John Hunt, LincolnshireLabour’s GBR plans are certainly a step in the right direction, but are half-baked. Let’s do it properly!
Lorna Cameron, LeedsLet’s go back to British Rail and reclaim rail services for the British public now.
Mike Robinson, TorpointAdopt the method put forward by the unions in 2005. Re-nationalise at expiry of contracts.
Raymond Bishop, GodalmingFat cat Tories selling to their fat cat friends at a knock-down price at taxpayers’ expense. I can’t wait for next May to get shot of this government.
Mark Brophy, North WalshamFar from being efficient, privatisation has led to bad use of funds and profits for shareholders at the expense of the travelling public. Bring back British Rail.
John Hudson, HengoedOur railway service is poor compared to the French and Spanish.
Michael Hall, CoventryPeople over profit.
Paul Higgins, HalesowenI fully support this idea.
Helena Rant, PlymouthAs a student it costs me way too much to get home and, due to the extortionate train prices, I can barely afford to travel to pursue my career as a performer.
Amy Sargent, PortsmouthI would like to ask my local MP, Penny Mordaunt (Con) to actually speak out and call for a motion on this. The saving and benefits are undeniable.
Terry Wood, NorwichFar better under BR days.
Diana SalmonLet’s hear it for common sense.
Eleanor Milton, Newcastle-upon-TyneAll of our services should be nationalised, owned by the people for the people. Private companies should not be making profits from our utilities or transport.
Moira Benger, WatfordEnough is enough. Ordinary people just can’t afford to travel by rail anymore.
Denis Prickett, EghamOpen your eyes and get it back in public ownership.
Ronald Copeland, BrighouseI support the return of BR.
Geoff Fisher, LeedsA Rail operator that is there to provide a service, not to make a profit, and not to identify revenue opportunities it makes from an already unhappy rail passenger.
Steven Hurford, WatfordPlease re-nationalise the railways to enable more infrastructure investment, instead of lining the pockets of shareholders with the profits of the travelling public.
Geoffrey Allen, CramlingtonI wholeheartedly support your campaign to re-nationalise the UK rail network.
Lee Ward, LondonWith the present divisive system there is no co-ordination, only feeble excuses.
Ray Butler, ManchesterHow much improvement in services could have been funded by the wasteful franchise process?
John Cutts, WorksopThatcher left us with a nice legacy.
Matt Simpson, Cradley HeathSomething needs to be done to make travel cheaper for everyone, in a time when people are having to travel more for work.
Oliver Bowen, AbergavennyThe current system just does not work.
John Taylor, ManchesterGreat cause. Stop the Tory boys.
