Sue Macfadyen, HaddingtonWe need a rail service that is not at the mercy of profiteering companies.
Katy Thompson, BrixtonI’m sick of rip-off fares and crowded conditions.
Glenys Law, LondonThe best way of getting this to happen is to support Jeremy Corbyn and vote Labour in the next election. This is one of his manifesto pledges.
Patrick Smith, LondonPrivatisation is a failure.
Kitty Schofield, StockportThe rail network should be run on a not-for-profit basis for the benefit of all. There is too much money being made by private companies out of something that’s a necessity.
Nick Packer, GlasgowThere are a few things I believe should not be subject to market forces, shareholder interests etc.
Sandra Barr, StevenageEast Coast trains were a fantastic service and needed to stay in the public sector. How dare this government sell it off to Virgin?
Davy Moore, LiverpoolWe should use the profits to keep fares down.
Kieranne Page, LondonEnough of these foreign companies making money when it should be the UK who runs the trains and has no over-pricing monopoly on the train fares. BBBR. Enough crap.
Vi Dunning, Thornton-CleveleysIt’s disgusting greed, charging ever higher prices for a sub-standard service.
Gordon Leach, PortsladeHaving experienced the shambles of Southern and the marginally better Arriva Trains Wales services it is high time they were done away with and re-nationalised.
Carol Pennell, WickfordThey should never have been sold off.
Rob Flint, NottinghamGreat campaign. Thanks for pushing it.
Peter Moore, LondonAbsolutely. Take our railways back! Common sense, surely? Urgent and so obvious now that we can clearly see the farrago that has emerged with privatisation.
Stephen Clarke, ShrewsburyRe-nationalise the railways and utility companies.
Mike Stevens, LancasterBy improving the current rail system, fewer people will be tempted to use cars for longer journeys which would make the environment more sustainable.
Amy Wildman, EssexI’m a commuter on the Southminster Greater Anglia service. It’s overpriced, dirty, regularly late or cancelled and there’s a lack of trains for this line. Overall it’s an awful service.
Henry Anderson, PerthBritish Rail was flawed but needed restructuring not privatising.
Nathan Day, RedhillSimple. Enough is enough.
David SterrattA unified passenger network would be easier for passengers to understand than the current variety of levels of service, styles of timetables and trains.
David Henshaw, DorchesterI’ve argued long and hard for this since the mid 1990s.
David LatimerLike most of Britain’s privatised industries, most of the assets of the railway industry are no longer owned by the people, but by the banks.
Alex Bailey, Craven ArmsPublic transport must serve the interests of the public.
John Gilbert, BromleyHow is my station in Zone 4 while the one about half a mile from it – faster into London – is in Zone 6?
Peter Staker, EdinburghI wasn’t around when British Rail was running, but when I see other European countries with railways of a quality almost unrecognisable to us in Britain, I want BR.
David FairclothThere are thousands of people who support the idea of having an integrated, publicly owned and operated railway.
Stevan Hezseltine, CarshaltonPrivatisation is a scandal as it steals from us what is ours and gives to a few greedy rich for their profit at our expense. It takes money from our pockets to give to them.
Roderick Slater, EdinburghBritish Rail was much better than everything that followed.
Terry McKeown, LeedsIt’s not a service any more.
Michael Moseley, CheltenhamAs a daily Gloucestershire to London commuter I am frustrated by the fragmentation of the current system and angry that Germany can make DB work even here.
