Chris Brown, Wimborne MinsterRail services need to be delivered by a unitary authority which will save duplication, increase safety for employees and passengers and focus upon developing services.
Stuart Parker, LiverpoolA national railway system for the people and owned by the people run at cost plus investment.
Catherine Barnett, Hay-on-WyeNationalise our railways!
William McKay, KetteringWe need a rail system that puts people before profit.
Andrew Delderfield, Hemel HempsteadWe must have a service that is affordable and the public are not robbed of money by rich private companies who don’t even invest back into this country.
Rod Atkin, StroodGreat Eastern did very well when the franchisee cleared off. A lesson must be learned.
Richard Matthewman, FavershamIndustries for people and not for shareholders’ profit. I support the campaign for better management of the railways.
Michael Frank Ricketts, BuntingfordPrivatisation has benefited us by providing the most expensive rail travel in Europe and a ticketing system which defies belief. End this farce now.
Ian Bruce, StockportPrivatisation is the Robin Hood principle in reverse.
James McAlpine, InvernessThe joke is on us and it’s time we said ‘enough is enough’.
Chris Moon, BridgwaterNo public service should be run for private profit as it can never serve people’s interest.
Benjamin Wheeler, AmblesideI have to take the train twice a week and I can’t afford these fares. On one of the Trans-Pennine routes the fare is nearly one pound a minute. It’s insane and has to stop.
Tess Farley, YorkIt costs me at least £150 to go home to Devon from York, and often I can’t get a seat and have nowhere safe to store my luggage.
Helen Herridge, ConwyWhy when it is making money for the downtrodden taxpayer do they want to turn it over to losers?
Diane Cox, PenzanceSo good to know there is a movement to do this.
William Owen, YorkWe must save British Rail as part of an integrated and cohesive national transport system.
Nicole Fekete, LincolnLower prices, customer centric and better integrated. Not much to ask in an OECD economy, right?
Cameron Sanderson, LondonTravelling around the UK, whether for leisure, work or family visits, should not be costed at such a high price as to be prohibitive without booking weeks in advance.
Nigel Hayes, KetteringPeople before profits.
John Hearn, RotherhamThe railways, along with the utilities, should be for the benefit of all and not for profit for the privileged.
Fiona Powell, EdinburghDo it now.
Wesley Barrett, BrightonWe cannot let this continue any more and we need to stand up and be counted.
Derek Sands, HarwichThe problem with privatisation is the amount of money going out of taxpayers’ pockets into those of shareholders.
Donald Jessiman, ReigateAt last. A movement to put transport back where it belongs – with the public. Let’s bring an end to this disastrous privatisation.
Raymond Butler, ChesterfieldBritish Rail belongs to us all, equally.
Paul Taylor, BristolAnd the water, gas and electricity.
Glen Slater, KingstonTransport and utilities are not suitable for foreign ownership.
Mark Donoghue, DartfordPublic services are not for profit.
Jon Carthy, NottinghamshirePublic transport should not be run for profit.
Jake Bolton, BlackburnI think that privatisation has been promoted purely for political expediency and short-term gain. The politicians who allow this aren’t living with the consequences.
