Richard Aspin, BlackburnI would really like to be an active member and see the return of public rail services. I have travelled thousands of miles under private rail and public rail.
Norman Fellows, ConfolensThe railways should be run as a public service, not for private profit.
Mark Zaretti, LeedsPeople before profit. The country needs an affordable rail network.
Caroline Pickering, NorthallertonThe success of the East Coast Line clearly demonstrates how much better the railways are in public ownership.
John Robinshaw, LittleboroughGood luck.
Julia Mulchrone, LondonBring back nationalised public services for the public who actually use the services, not the greedy fat cat capitalists in private jets.
Mike Weaver, Newcastle-upon-TyneTotal support for this. I use the Northeast line a lot. Private sectors failed but it turns a good profit for the taxpayer now that government runs it.
Martin Dibbs, FifeThe proposed privatisation of East Coast, an excellent and profitable railway, is complete madness, Remember EC’s predecessors’ incompetence.
Steve Summers, Henley-on-ThamesIt’s shocking that what should be a public service for us all now simply lines foreigners’ pockets. A national disgrace.
David Shaw, SwindonRe-nationalise. It’s that simple.
Derrick Jones, Stockton-on-TeesBritish Rail should be for the people not for getting fat cats fatter,
Clive Hopkinson, LeedsLet’s have a rail system run by the people for the people.
Jason Leyton, LondonFirst of all I’m really sick and tired of this privatisation as it is all about making profit, cramming in as many seats as possible and foreign-made trains.
Wayne Gallagher, LondonPrivatisation has failed, just like we knew it would.
Martin Bailey, York20 years of poor service, extortionate fares and lame excuses. It’s time for re-nationalisation.
Malcolm Love, SteyningThis sort of concerted action by ordinary people is long overdue. The evidence of privatised rail failure stares us in the face.
John Sandford, HolmfirthDecrepit, unreliable, ancient, uncomfortable, inadequate seating, poor service, unaccountable to their customers, a disgrace.
Theresa Evans, OxfordI now rarely use trains and use my car instead, as I can no longer afford the cost of train tickets. Bring back British Rail!
Lerone Rose, PeterboroughIf it’s not broke don’t try and fix it. The government should never have privatised the railways. Bring back the slam door train too.
Otto Linden, LydneyIt’s just getting ridiculous.
Steven Hurford, WatfordPlease re-nationalise the railways to enable more infrastructure investment, instead of lining the pockets of shareholders with the profits of the travelling public.
Dan Marston, NottinghamThis summer we travelled by rail right across Germany with two bicycles. We paid 26 euros each and we bought the tickets the same morning on the platform.
Catherine Maudsley, NorthallertonI wish to join with the other people to re-nationalise the railways.
Linda Peaker, WakefieldIn line with other countries, our rail network should be owned by us, not by foreigners. Who owns the rest of the EU’s rail network? They own their own, so should we.
Michele Smith, Melton MowbrayThe countries which run the best train services are owned, or part-owned by their governments – e.g. Switzerland, Germany.
Hilary Hillier, BeestonPlease bring back British Rail.
Michael Futers, DerbyInstead of senseless profit-driven competition we want safe, reliable public transport.
Amanda Dawes, LondonThe current rail system needs to go.
Vorn Hancock, CambridgeNot everything in society needs to be organised to be profitable.
Alex Lewis, WalesYes, there where issues with BR, but they were trying to improve the service and, after the hugely popular InterCity 125, things were turning round but then randomly sold off.
