Fraser Healey, BrightonStop this scam and bring back British Rail.
Keith Green, LondonI just found you today. I want it back in public ownership too, wishing you all the best.
Bruce Tasker, CuparBritain should have a unified transport system that is affordable to all.
Tim Pinkney, MorpethPassengers before profit should be the mantra and is key to an integrated transport network.
William Edwards, DarlingtonA national railway owned and operated by the nation for the nation in the interests of the nation has to be one of the most important publicly owned strategic assets.
Cynthia Roushorn, YorkLet’s go back to the time when we knew what we were going to pay for a trip well in advance and the service was reliable.
Jon Veal, Newcastle-upon-TyneGNER, National Express and now Virgin Trains have ripped off customers on the East Coast Mainline, a service that was profitable and functioning fine until it was sold again.
Thomas McAnea, LondonLying thieves at the train operating companies, extorting enormous profits from taxpayers whilst running third world services. It is a scandal.
Birgit Cunningham, LondonWe are sick to death of the line ‘That is another company’.
Sheila Lovett, Newton AbbotLet’s bring sense back at last.
Simon Bell, TorpointPrivatisation has failed the passengers and serves only the shareholders of the rail companies. Re-nationalised and run efficiently East Coast line shows public success.
Michael Deacon, Hemel HempsteadFares going up and service going down.
Noelle Berney, Newcastle-upon-TyneWhy must everything British be privatised or sold to other nations?
Joan Young, Newcastle-upon-TyneI support the re-nationalisation of railways as an intelligent transport policy.
Mike Campbell, DurhamBring service industries back to their natural home – the public sector.
Alan Ridgley, LondonRe-nationalisation is the answer to the blatant greed of the private rail operators.
Jacob Rothman, Llandrindod WellsIn the 1980s British Rail had about 5 managers on high CEO salaries. The private railways now have 150.
Jo Winship, HullIt used to work, not perfectly, but far better, and cheaper than the current mess.
Adrian Barker, PaisleyWhy sell off our country’s infrastructure?
James Kirkpatrick, PortsmouthPeople not profit.
Ian Wallace, LeicesterI work on the railway as a train cleaner and I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve heard customers complain about the price of train fares.
Jus Sargeant, MiddlesbroughRestore our national rail.
Elizabeth Burling, LondonThere are some important services which should be just that – not business, e.g. NHS, transport infrastructure. Reverse Tory privatisations.
Daniel De Conceicao Silva, WorthingI totally agree with you. Bring back British Rail and dismantle Southern Railway. I am a regular commuter on the West Coast way and it is a disgraceful line.
Alan Pope, PeterboroughNo more messing about with different fares and different companies.
Jim Pratt, EdinburghAs a ex BR worker I would like BR to come back as I would like to work for BR again.
Margaret Walters, HalifaxTime we had BR back. In fact, time we had all utilities back.
John Tidy, LondonI want rail transport run for its users. We can’t go back to the under-investment of the BR era, and the current arrangements are unsustainable. A new paradigm is needed.
Brenda Smith, LondonI’m fed up with having to get a train 30 minutes earlier than I should have to just to get to work on time.
Augustin Belza, Great GonerbyPrivatisation of rail services has failed. We have a disjointed expensive system. The East Coast line proves that as a publicly run service the rail system can work.
