David Callaghan, Kingston-upon-HullRe-nationalise British Rail.
Ron Virgo, LancingWhile you are at it stop the fat cats getting rich on our water as well.
Sheila Richards, LeighBring British Rail back along with everything else we want Britain to be.
David Wallis, GranthamThe current mess is exactly that – a mess.
Patricia Glen, BorehamwoodSince privatisation the rail service has deteriorated and become more expensive.
Patricia Thornton, GatesheadI travel quite often on East Coast trains to London. Keep it the way it is now.
Dermot Killingley, Newcastle-upon-TyneEvery time I hear “Thank you for choosing to travel XYZ”, I think “But I didn’t choose! If I really had the choice I’d be travelling British Rail.”
Sue Dean, WarwickLet’s do this as the British people together. Whoever thought splitting it up was a sensible idea?
Daniel Wright, SwindonThat’s it. You have me on board. The wife is popping across to Bristol this weekend and a return is £19. That’s a 20 min journey to the next station on the line.
Dhilllon Bainsford, ManchesterOur train service is non-existent. Delays, cancellations, strikes.
Colin Duncan, PaisleyRail services in the UK are too disjointed due to privatisation. They are long overdue for reform.
Mark Bebbington, BuryWe subsidise the private companies when they make a loss and they keep the money if they make a profit. Why would we not re-nationalise?
Richard Baxter, LeedsPrivatisation has been a disaster.
Paul Bradley, RhylBring back all the profit the shareholders are getting. It can go back into investing or reducing fares as they go up a bomb every year.
Paul Culkin, LiverpoolTransport should be public.
Christina Sundborg, YakimaPlease bring back the British Rail for those that need it for transportation. It’s hard enough getting reliable transportation over here.
Eleni Stavrou, DerbyPublic services are becoming a system of exploitation against the people who must use them, and in fact work for them.
Kevin Hollands, LondonRe-nationalisation will save the tax-payer money which I thought this Tory government wants to do.
Christopher ParkerBecause of the way the trains currently work, it is now cheaper to get a return plane ticket to Spain than it is to get a return train ticket to London. This is daft.
David Melville Wingrove, EdinburghIn the shameless legacy of the Blair and Thatcher years, the Great Rail Rip-Off ranks among the worst. Re-nationalise now.
Stephen Clutterbuck, Upton-upon-SevernPlease bring back British Rail, as it is getting absolutely expensive now to go by train. The companies are putting the prices up and the railways are not up to scratch.
Abigail Cooper, East CowesUnified and not for profit. It can’t get better than that.
Fergus Priest, East LintonKeep up the good work.
Angela Hartwich, Stourport-on-SevernIt’s a no-brainer.
Alison Harte, KentThis might help to stop strikes.
Stuart Smith, WiganI want the service I pay for! Is that too much to ask for?
Tula Maxted, SwanleySell off a public service, pay the owners to keep it running, let them have bonuses from the till while not carrying out maintenance work for years, Oh, and up the fares.
Gareth Davies, ReadingBring back all public infrastructure into public ownership and reduce top civil service wages to a maximum of £50,000 per annum.
David Samuels, Bishop’s StortfordRailways should be in the public domain because they offer (or should) a public service. The idea of making private profit from railways is ludicrous.
Chris Ralph, Great YarmouthThe sooner the better.
