Gary Whittaker, WakefieldEnd the subsidies going into private pockets. Subsidise the nation.
Hazel Burns, Dunham-on-TrentStop privatisation and serve the people. They pay enough tax.
Guy Birkin, NottinghamWe can make this work.
Cristina Parker, Burton-on-TrentPrivatisation only helps the shareholders.
Sammy Russell, BerkhamstedIt’s ridiculous pricing nowadays. There should be a cheaper alternative to driving as trains are the more eco-friendly option.
Derek Ramsay, ChathamThey put the fares up year after year but as a taxpayer I am hit twice as I have to subsidise them as well.
Margaret Walters, HalifaxTime we had BR back. In fact, time we had all utilities back.
Amanda Mulholland, BirminghamIt should never have been sold off. Fat cats got fatter.
Paul Lewis, CrowboroughHigh rail prices, late trains and abuse to passengers. It’s time to bring back British Rail.
Harrison Connor, BasingstokeBritish Rail was good. They should never have privatised the railways because the fares cost so much.
Chris Ritchie, IpstonesFor all its faults British Rail was still 10 times better than the current services.
David Haines, HumberstonBring it back to stop putting performance ahead of safety.
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.
Em Law, HastingsAmber Rudd is trying to kill our local rail route to implement another even more corrupt, private, expensive disservice in order to kill our town.
Mary Ion, BromleyWe pay extortionate prices to stand like cattle. It makes no sense for a railway to be run for private profit.
Kether Eaglestone, LondonNationalise the railways now.
Wayne Gallagher, LondonPrivatisation has failed, just like we knew it would.
Yvonne Sanders, MaidenheadIt is a public service and needs to be in public control with no purpose for profit.
Anthony Bonner, AshfordBring back British Rail as it was the best the railway ever and best it has been for a long time.
Gavin Edwards, LondonThe heart of the railway is the people, but privatisation has put profits and shareholders first. We need British Rail back to run services for the people.
Paul Campbell, DoncasterPrivatisation is not the answer. Nationalisation can only improve things.
Godfrey Nyandoro, LeedsThe parcelling out of essential services to the private sector should have never been allowed in the first place. The shareholder has one thing and one thing only – profit.
Maria Grant, ManchesterBring back a unified rail system to the UK.
Margaret Whitehead, NorthallertonGovernment is subsidising railways more now than with BR and that money keeps shareholders happy. Stupid.
Saneet Bhella, LeedsI pay for a cheaper train even though it stops at a further station than the place I need to go to. Logic.
David Walmsley, OssettThe current situation allows no choice and therefore no competition, so it should be re-nationalised.
Stephen Davis, SunderlandRailways are massively important and should be run for everyone, not just greedy private companies and shareholders. Nationalise them now.
Paul English, EastbourneBring back British Rail.
Darrin Green, HorshamThe lies about whether trains are on time or not need to be highlighted as an issue, as, apparently, the train companies manipulate the figures they put out about this.
Kaeren Daunt-Jones, RochesterAlthough it was by no means perfect as BR, it was a whole lot better than now. Employ real railway people at the top too, not business Muppets who don’t understand.
