Robert Morris, UttoxeterAfter travelling to many European countries and using their train systems it is easy to see what we must do to fix our horrendous train service in the U.K.
John Ward, BirminghamThese railway companies are rubbish. Definitely bring back British Rail.
Julie Dudley, GuildfordPut the profit back into government coffers to pay for the NHS.
Eileen Brown, CoventryWe need an integrated passenger-based service, not several private customer-based businesses. I use Amtrak in USA and it beats the pants off our railway system.
Claire HendersonFares too high and no part time season tickets. It’s all about making a profit now.
Carol Cooke, New MillsBring back a nationalised rail service.
John Wright, SalisburyPrivatisation is not working. Why should our railway be in the hands of foreign state-owned organisations?
Stephen Chambers, StroodI work on the railways and my job has been destroyed by private companies. It would be much bettter off being nationalised.
Ramona Andrews, LondonHow can anyone who uses public transport be against nationalising the railways?!
Peter Neal, RomfordBring back British Rail to keep fares down with profit going back into the railway and not to shareholders.
Sue Brooks, HarlowI’m fed up with trains being late, dirty seats, and the price of tickets. I travel from Harlow to Great Yarmouth and it’s gone from under £40 to nearly £57. That’s disgusting.
Jennifer Hobson, LapfordPrivatisation has produced a worsening service.
Tom Spowart, Newton AycliffeThe railway privatisation was rushed through, our railways were sold at cut price without our agreement. If only British Rail had received the money private operators get.
Barry Wilkinson, AldershotRe-nationalise the railways. They are for transport for all of the nation and should be nationally owned.
Sue Revell, BathGovernment subsidies should be used to update infrastructure and not to line shareholders’ pockets. Also, keep it British.
Marc Woolward, BudePublic service, not profit.
Diane Berry, WithernseaPlease bring back British Rail and reinstate some of the old lines to reconnect the country.
Trevor Castle, StevenageExtortion all for profits and no consideration for the customer.
Barrie Evans, Barry IslandTo re-nationalise seems common sense, so let’s do it.
Conal DunnThere’s a fat chance of this happening under the current regime, and with UKIP popular too.
Andrew McKay, Downham MarketTransport should be easy, effective and as cheap as feasible. How else do you clear the roads of pollution and chaos?
Mark Waters, East LintonIt’s strange that we have DB running some of our trains.
Edward Padmore, SheffieldOur train fares should go into improving the system, not a businessman’s pocket.
Margaret Westbrook, StretfordGreat. This is Green party policy. Join us too.
Linda Halsey, KnaresboroughAll public transport in the UK should be nationalised. All that means is that it belongs to us not to other nations and nationalities.
Lindesay Irvine, LondonThis move would save money, integrate the service, and win the government much needed support.
Malcolm Halliday, ExeterI remember old Beeching, the beginning of the demise of the British Rail network, and it’s even worse now.
Jeremy Hoyte, OswestryCommon good, common sense.
Nicky Jerrome, ReadingThis needs to happen.
Arthur Bostrom, ManchesterI look for joined-up thinking on the railways where trains with enough seats for all can be achieved once more. With privatisation there’s no incentive.
