Ann Pluck, BridportI’d even welcome the BR sandwich.
Fred Manning, MaidstonePrivatisation has been a complete and expensive shambles. Bring back British Railways.
Phil Vaughan, PlymouthPrivatisation has had its day. It’s time for it to be run for the public not for shareholders. The cost of tickets is ridiculous. and confusing.
Peter Neal, RomfordBring the railways back to the nation and reduce the fares by not giving money to shareholders. The East Coast line has improved since being run by the nation.
Lynda Matthews, LiverpoolIt wasn’t the government’s to privatise in the first place. It needs to go back to being nationalised.
Christopher Richardson, NottinghamRenationalisation is long overdue. The demand is growing. Perhaps even the cowardly Miliband will acknowledge that the stance of the Labour Party is pitiful
Lorraine Rycroft, ChesterThe rail network is a disgrace to this country. We have travelled by rail in Europe where prices are affordable and regulated. In the UK pricing is a minefield.
James Martin, GlasgowRe-nationalise the railways.
Jesse Vrchota, Fort WayneHi. I’m a locomotive engineer in the USA. I’ll be more than happy to put a sticker on every unit I’m on. I’ll help spread the word.
Mark Flack, HolyheadRebalancing is desperately needed. Let’s start with our railway system.
Tim Hughes, YorkThe basic premise of privatisation is flawed.
Marc Collinson, BangorGreat campaign. Now a serious outline of proposals are required from a think tank.
Mark Kilburn, BradfordThere’s too many of these Tory rich people.
Kevan Potter, NuneatonRun the railways for the people.
Fred Mathisen, AberdourBR was broken up because it was over subsidised but the current clutch of companies is subsidised much much more, including shareholders’ dividends.
Matthew Griffin, GillinghamI’m fed up with high prices, illogical fares and poor, unprofessional service.
Lynda Bowen, TealbyI’m deeply saddened that East Coast has disappeared – such a regressive step.
Ron Thomson, GlasgowThe irony of having other EU governments owning UK railways (inter alia) seems to have escaped the privateers.
Mark Murphy, LondonIt’s time to admit that rail privatisation is fundamentally flawed.
Joe DiamondGood luck with the campaign! As a commuter I thank you for your efforts.
Alistair Madden, Walton-on-ThamesTrain prices are far too high.
Jenni Dixon, BirminghamTrain fares are extortionate. It is ridiculous that it was cheaper for me and one friend to hire a car to go to Newcastle than to go on the train.
Atteridge John, LondonWe should re-nationalise the railways and many other public utilities.
Christine Rogers, HastingsWhy should taxpayers subsidise these private companies in order for their shareholders to gain. Take them back now.
John Gowers, KelsoPublic services should be just that, not vehicles for private company profits.
Andrew Tate, WolverhamptonWe need to take all our resources out of the hands of big business and place them back into public ownership.
James Wilkinson, DublinMy grandfather worked for British Rail as a train drive and my best childhood memories were on the railways in the north of England. Now they’re in a terrible state.
Gurmeet Singh, LeedsWe need fairer fares and more job security for rail workers.
David Gillman, HarlowRail fares are too high. A unified system would be much more cost effective.
Aidan Wright, PlymouthBring back British Rail. Privatisation has been a disaster.
