Fred Johnson, LondonPut an end to this disastrous privatisation.
Elliot Ellison, BristolI’d happily pay more tax for a smoother, cheaper, nicer, national railway system.
Dorothy Chambers, LincolnI agree John Major had no right to sell it off.
Jane Walton, HorburyBring back British Rail. It was great. I had the best journey ever in 1985 from Kings Cross when it was good old British Rail.
John Reeves, EdenbridgeTell me what I can do to help.
Cameron Christian, LeedsRun for and by people not for private profit.
Andy Morten, FromeIt’s about time somebody seriously considered this.
Amanda Bouskill, SwintonWe need a rail service that benefits its passengers. We need British Rail back.
Eddie Saunders, DoverI have 24 years as a railway employee. I want us to be providing a service, not a business.
Malcolm Grant, PlungarPrivatisation has failed. Result? The most expensive railways in Europe.
John Puntis, LeedsStaggering tripling of taxpayer subsidy since privatisation, lack of investment (e.g. in electrification), and fares going through the roof. Nationalise now.
Paul Ibbott, BedfordI have always believed in a nationally-owned rail system which provides a value service and removes road travel misery. Just visit the Hauptbahnhof in Berlin and weep.
Nick Hopkinson, YorkThe Rail network should never have been privatised. It was politically motivated and has been a massive failure.
Michael Fuller, HorshamWhat does it take for the government to finally do something about this level of incompetence?
Penny Jones, LondonOutrageous to have privatised. The rail needed strong reform but not this.
Linda Cornall, PeterboroughWe need a joined-up service.
David Crook, HorshamPrivatisation has failed. Back to the future.
Steve McCarthy, St AlbansThe railways should be run for the benefit of everyone, not just for a few shareholders. The huge tax-payer subsidies are going straight into their pockets. It’s a rip-off.
St Clair Stewart, ForfarPrivatisation as it is is a rip-off.
Connie Gallagher, LondonBring back British Rail, for people not profit.
Audrey Campbell, MayboleAs a railwayman’s daughter, I want to see a return to passenger care, sensible ticket pricing, employees proud to be employed by a new BR with good conditions and pay.
Justin Foxall, Leighton BuzzardMust stop these companies ripping-off the British public and government. Appalling, expensive service. Embarrassing the UK.
Paul Edwards, WolverhamptonBring back British Rail. Stop ripping off the British public.
Alison Winstone, LeicesterNot only nationalise rail, but add water, gas, electricity and telephones. Tax-payers set these up and should hold on to profits and invest in renewables..
Hannah James, NottinghamStop privatising national rail.
Alison Damant, BradfordThey should never have been de-nationalised in the first place.
James Connor, CumbernauldWhy have we given it all away to foreign companies?
Amy Mason, BrechinA nationalised rail network would reduce confusion and probably work a lot better than it does now.
Jim McGinley, HoylakeRail privatisation has produced an overpriced, dysfunctional mess. The only way forward is public ownership of the whole network as the East Coast line shows.
David Cottrell, CromerBring back British Rail.
