Adam Powell, LeatherheadRenationalise now.
Martin Cooper, Whitley BayState-owned railways operate efficiently in Europe. Why should our railways be run for private profits? The railways are a service to the whole community.
Cyndy Kelly, WetherbyNot only do I want to bring back British Rail, I want everything to be brought back.
Gerry Curran, BeverleyThis mugging of commuters must stop. Bring back British Rail. It was never yours to sell. It’s ours and we want it back.
Charles Docherty, Dumbarton.Under-investment, expensive fares and the farce of one company owning the track and others providing the trains. Capitalism for its own sake. Even the USA doesn’t.
Derek Ansell, ClactonBring it back.
Joseph Murray, BrightonRailways for the people not private profit.
Darren Skeet, PitseaPrivate railway companies have over-inflated prices for far too long. We need to try something else.
Jamie Richardson, SouthseaThis really needs to happen.
Giles Hannaford, ShrewsburyBring back a cheaper, cleaner and more reliable service.
Matthew Workman, WarringtonI work in Signalling Operations for Network Rail. Schedule 8 payments are government subsidies to private companies. Bring back British Rail.
Karen McDonald, ManchesterInstead of subsidising the railway, and enabling a few people to get big bonuses, and costing the taxpayer a fortune, it’s more economical to re-nationalise the railways.
Roddy Glen, EdinburghPlease re-nationalise our railways. I want a ‘joined-up’ system. I don’t want to have to pay for bail-outs of private companies and shareholders any more. Thank you.
Jemma Harris, West ByfleetStop Southwest trains bad service and high prices.
David James, LeedsEssential services should be run by the public for the public. Profits and subsidies should be ploughed back in and not go into the pockets of private investors.
Simon Haigh, YorkBring back sensible prices that don’t change the nearer you get to the date of departure.
Linda Macfarlane, WoodbridgeI’m fed up with disjointed rail services and prices.
Garry Pursell, MexboroughThis country of great innovators and engineers that built the railways needs its railways re-nationalised and made not for profit now.
Angela Hartwich, Stourport-on-SevernIt’s a no-brainer.
Rory Douglas, KendalI want to be able to take pride in our rail network.
Mary Fletcher, St IvesAs private owners want a profit it’s unlikely they will ever be cheaper.
Isaac Reid-Guest, BirminghamNationalisation is what the rail system needs.
Francesca Bennison, St AgnesIt’s ludicrous for public money to be handed to private shareholders through TOC subsidies.
Robert Manning, EastbourneOur fragmented railways offer a sub-standard expensive service under privatisation which does not benefit the commuter or serve them well. It benefits only shareholders.
Eithne Murphy, LeedsThe whole rail network should be given the opportunity to repeat the success of East Coast Rail.
Tim Newman, BristolThe rail system is a number of broken monopolies and not competitive. This is for the public good, it should be treated as such.
Timothy Hodgson, BirkenheadThe railways must be brought back into public ownership.
John Dakin, DunstableI believe that the privatisation of British Rail has been a complete disaster.
Michael Heslop, DurhamThe present system is inefficient and wastes money. It’s time for change.
