David Phillips, EastbourneThe sooner the better.
Ron Lawley, Haywards HeathI agree with this idea. Let’s have a joined-up rail system run for the people.
Paul Campbell, LondonThe privatisation of the UK’s rail network has not led to lower fares and better service. Rail companies put shareholders’ dividends before fare-paying customers. BBBR.
Pamela Durham, PontefractLet’s put people ahead of profit.
Kathleen Price, NottinghamI use East Midlands trains at least twice a week and as the prices rise the service gets poorer.
Natasha Yee-KingThis should never have been privatised and, compared to other European countries, rail services in the UK are inefficient and overpriced.
Angus Bickmore, HarbottleI used to work for BR back in the 90s when the government started to sell off the railways. I knew then that it was a very bad mistake and was totally against it.
Karl Johnson, PontypriddThe only way we will have a truly national railway run for the country and not profit for foreign companies.
Heather Mann, LondonEast Coast is far better than National Express East Coast or GNER. Do not sell it.
Emily Sweetman, Potters BarCheaper fares, British owned, better living now.
Michelle Hunt, BristolI’m not a big train user, just fed up with being ripped off by privatisation. It’s the same with Royal Mail.
Paul Rechnitz, LondonPrivatisation of the rail network has been a disaster.
Anvar Turobov, LondonThe service is appalling. The government should take the service back from private companies who failed massively.
Paul Churchill, PeterboroughPeople can no longer tolerate the cost of travel.
Prasad Sriramula, LondonTrain commuting to work is a basic need not a luxury.
David Hughes, PontefractPeople should not be fleeced for needing public transport to get to work. How can the rail operators defend their extortionate price rises when services are getting worse?
John Salter, ConsettThe success of the East Coast franchise in public ownership shows just what can be achieved. All the rail franchises should be taken back into public ownership.
Malcolm Clements, BarnsleyRailways should be an affordable service and not for private profit.
Robert Nix, LeominsterThe return of British Rail would give the nation fairness and a national transport network.
Jean Coates, HarrogateWe need a joined up service and not a cartel of lots of different companies offering us the same tickets and prices.
Jack Wrigley, StockportA national rail service should be part of a national integrated transport network including buses and trams.
Peter Stevenson, WatchetRe-nationalise BR now.
Stephen Cullen, PrescotRailways not for private profit.
Peter Wright, LondonRe-nationalise the railways.
Michael Dawson, South ShieldsLike all things that work better as a monopoly, it should be under common ownership.
Dave Gonzalez, OxfordshireLet’s fix this. One of the biggest mistakes in the ’90s.
Curtis Ablitt, KidderminsterBring Back BR.
Iain Cameron, South TynesideStart by not re-privatising East Coast which makes a profit.
Annie Weatherly-Barton, SpaldingBring back British Rail into public ownership. It’s a disgusting rip-off in privatised hands.
Lynda Edwards, NorwichWhy have separate train and track companies? No wonder passengers, who pay high fares, are being let down frequently.
