Hannah Williamson, MacclesfieldPlease do.
Dale Barnard, GlasgowPrivatisation was and continues to be a major mistake, lining the pockets of the friends of those in power. It makes me sick and must stop.
Michael Greenwood, BraintreeIf it improves service then I’m happy.
Ethan Storey, ChichesterDown with Southern.
Sean Neagle, ExeterI have worked within the current system and have seen the franchising farce first hand. Bring back fairness for the rail user. Bring back British Rail.
Kevan Ogden, Chester-le-StreetPlease explain to me how sucking profits from previously nationalised businesses make them work better? The lessons of 70s have been learned. Reunite trains with the tracks.
Andy Izard, RydeOne fare on one railway for all people of GB.
Andrew Thomas, BristolIt’s very important that the railways are publicly owned with surpluses re-invested in the infrastructure and keeping fares down.
Eileen McCarthy, MotherwellPrivatisation has not made travel by rail any better or cheaper. Train fares are extortionate and trains still run late.
John Adkins, St AustellVote Labour and do it.
Stuart Tomlin, RugbyPrivatisation has never made anything cheaper or more efficient despite spurious claims to the contrary at its inception, witness the debacle in energy, water etc.
Peter Evans, Merthyr TydfilRail was nationalised originally because of private company failure. Now we have a triumph of dogma over reality.
Helene Roberts, CardiffPublic transport should be affordable and not based on profit.
Andrew Shefford, GillinghamDisgusting filthy overpriced overcrowded, totally unreliable, like Hell incarnated as public transport.
Ed Brown, NottinghamPublic transport should always be socially-owned.
Lorraine Bignall, Westbury, WiltshireI miss the good old days of British Rail
Mhairi Grealis, LondonPrivatisation has brought huge profits, costing the taxpayer more for a terrible service with shocking fares. The Tories need to stop bank-rolling their mates.
David Clarke, NottinghamIt makes sense unlike a certain political party.
Jojo Yexley, HertfordshireStop the rip off.
Samuel Norsworthy, GosportStop and bring back the railways as they were. Villages have grown into towns and towns into cities.
John White, LoughtonIt just proves that privatisation does not work.
Michael Miller, SheffieldPrivatisation doesn’t work. It leads to fragmentation, loss of transparency, often worse conditions for employees, and usually ends up costing more. And they dodge tax.
Raymond Lockwood, WakefieldRe-nationalise all TOCs.
Andrew Hewland, BrightonI am just fed up with the so-called private companies doing a so-called good service. Rubbish. Bring back British Rail.
Annabelle Killworth, BasildonWe need railways to provide public services not profit for millionaires.
Kevin Tulliver, CaernarfonPrivatisation has been found out for what it is and such important assets as the railway network must be brought back into public ownership for the good of all.
Paul Nelson, LondonThe London train system desperately needs improving.
Richard Hart, BromleyRailways are a service and not for private profit.
Charles Boylan, PrestonBritish Rail was much better. You don’t realise what you’ve got till its gone.
Martin Keyse, Newport GwentOvercrowded trains, late trains, trains cancelled. It’s happening too often.
