Jamie Massey, EssexBring back the British values of a great rail company.
Geoffrey Rose, FarehamIt’s a total disgrace that it was sold off in the first place.
Graeme Mclean, AberdeenPut service before profit.
Martin Bane, BrightonPublic transport run for the public.
Paul Sheppard, LondonSouthwest Trains are crooks.
Ken Turner, NewportPrivatisation wrecked our railways.
Geoffrey Hartin, SouthamptonAs part of the national infrastructure of this country we need dedicated professionals running our railways. It would be in the best interest of this country and its population.
Colin Farlow, ExeterLong overdue.
Paul Knight, AustraliaAs an ex-railway employee, I am totally opposed to rail privatisation. The railways belong to the public. Bring back British Rail.
William Quick, BristolPrivatisation has channelled public funds into private hands and left us with one of the most expensive and least efficient railways. We must renationalise now.
Leslie Scaife, SouthportApart from the massive debt, fares have risen out of all proportion and they are still getting funding from the public purse. Shareholders win and taxpayers lose.
Kate Wescombe, YorkNational infrastructure shouldn’t be in the hands of people only interested in squeezing money out of people – it should be managed for the common weal, like government.
Edmond Bourke, BasildonThe railways were supposed to be privatised, so why as a taxpayer are my taxes still going to the railways while bosses are raking in huge profits?
Geoff Goodwin, LondonPrivatisation of the British Rail network has been a disaster. Nationalisation has the potential to lower fares, increase accountability and democratise the network.
Abdul-Nasser J G Baston, LondonA publicly owned, democratically accountable public transport system.
Kim Rowling, Newton AycliffeMore people would use railways if they were more affordable.
Peter Farrell, Tunbridge WellsThey’re not just privatising everything they can get their hands on. They’re closing all former nationalised industries. A socialist programme of action is the only answer.
Simon Bampton, HoveThe UK must be one of the few countries in the world with a privatised rail service. A National Rail service would benefit all
Bill Stead, Leamington SpaI believe that a nationalised rail network would provide a far better service and financial return. Forget how it used to be and do it better.
Michael Dawson, South ShieldsLike all things that work better as a monopoly, it should be under common ownership.
Shelley Beckett, South ShieldsYou will put a lot of people out of work and shatter people’s lives. Keep it as East Coast please.
John McGregor, BlythTransport should always be in public hands.
Christopher Irvine, LancasterAs a Scottish student I like being able to travel home once in a while, but even with a railcard it can cost over £50 one way. This has to be reduced.
Jan Dyer, MalvernPrivatisation has increased prices, reduced quality, reliability and customer service, caused confusion and chaos and prevented re-investment.
Luke Bristow, BasildonC2C commuter, crowded expensive rubbish.
Geiif Mcghee, FranceI like trains and want to see more trains without the trains being owned by bad train companies.
Rosemary CharlesDelighted to find a group which thinks as I have done since privatisation of the railway.
Stephen Carpenter, LondonI’m sick and tired of having our state infrastructure (that belongs to all) sold off to the few. We need service not profit and greed.
Angela Hartwich, Stourport-on-SevernIt’s a no-brainer.
Pauline StephensThe railway system is more expensive now, both in fares and operating costs.
