Eve Luddington, Chapel AllertonThe first priority for private companies is their shareholders who want a profit. Nationalise the railways and make them profitable for tax-payers.
Maggi Bevan, ReadingIn order to get a joined up approach to routes, safety, running times, rural service etc. – we need nationalisation.
Robert Bridge, Hampton HillI use East Coast and it’s brilliant under public ownership compared to when National Express operated it.
Suki Gill, SloughPublic transport should remain public.
Sam Davis, HorshamSouthern trains are a national disgrace. Their service is appalling. I commute into London from Horsham and am constantly delayed, paying almost 4grand for the privilege.
Bruce Van De Gevel, HuddersfieldAs the privatised industry is in receipt of massive public subsidies, it should be returned to the public.
Katrina Taylor, WhitstableNationalisation to benefit every passenger, not privatisation to benefit shareholders’ bank balances.
Ann Ferguson, Tyne and WearBritish Rail should never have been privatised in the first place. Bring ownership back to those who pay their taxes.
Debby Poole, Stoke-on-TrentThe cost of rail fares now is so expensive I can no longer afford to travel.
Stephen Bellamy, IngatestoneI totally agree with re-uniting the national rail network.
Russell Miller, West WickhamWe own most of the road network so it’s time to own the rail network.
Graham Croft, LondonThe pretended benefits of privatisation have nowhere been more brutally exposed than in the chaos and wastage of resources that have afflicted the railways.
Mark Stewart, AyrPrivatisation was done on the cheap, supposedly to allow the firms to upgrade the network which they reneged on.
M Murphy, ScunthorpeExpropriate the train robbers.
Richard Sharp, ColchesterI strongly support this campaign. Rail travel to work is becoming prohibitive by cost and is causing an exodus of talent from the city.
Susan Callaghan, Newcastle-upon-TynePrivatised rail services are a disgrace. Services are overcrowded and late and prices are becoming extortionate. Network Rail should be taken back into public ownership.
Maggie Gallimore, NottinghamJust give it back, please.
Spencer Preece, HerefordStop the rip-off!
Ian Cumming, Newton MearnsWhy don’t the Labour party back this? Why, it might get them some votes.
Christopher Rowe, DurhamEast Coast is the best service presently in the UK, doesn’t have to pay a dividend to rich shareholders, and is less of a burden on taxpayers than any private company.
Dennis Bridges, LondonDo I need to explain why bringing the train network back in house is a good thing? Surely the greedy mismanagement of the private sector has already done it.
Theodore Bacon, YorkMaintaining the railway in public ownership, as a vertically organised system, is the only sensible arrangement.
Tom Austin, CrewePrivatisation has hit the buffers. Bring Back British Rail!
John Morgan, FlitwickA very good campaign – all the best with your efforts.
Rafael Kowalczyk, LondonFor the past months my morning Southern train to Victoria was never on time and you couldn’t get on it as it was way overcrowded. This is unfair. What do I pay for?
Bill Duckworth, Chipping NortonGlad to be a part of this movement. British Rail must be re-instated, no ifs or buts.
John Butler, StrabaneApplication of honest good sense on this matter is long overdue.
Alex Allardyce, LeicesterIt’s time to take back all that was stolen from the British public.
Julia Logie, HeathfieldPrivatisation of the rail network has devastated this country. I think the entire infrastructure of the UK is falling apart bit by bit. It’s very sad to see this happening…
Delwyn Davies, AbertilleryTransport is a public asset, and should be owned by the public. The banks next.
