Mike Kane, MarchRailways for public service not private profit.
Michele Moatt, PenrithThe return of British Rail would be absolutely fantastic.
Jus Sargeant, MiddlesbroughRestore our national rail.
Joan Sanger, BeckinghamPut the railways back into public ownership. It will save money and save tax-payers’ money.
Martin Powell, WigtonDisabled people need to be able to bring tricycles on trains.
JamesAt my station, there is no assistance, no plants and no-one who can advise what is happening at any given time.
Paolo Fantini, St AlbansI’m travelling every day on the most expensive route in Europe and the service is appalling. There is no justification for this.
John Ward, LondonPrivatisation hasn’t worked – it’s obvious in so many ways every time you want to travel anywhere in the UK.
Annette Lenton, SussexPrivatisation of trains has patently not worked.
Charles Batten, LondonBR belonged to the whole nation, a national asset belonging to all of us which was sold off by an inhumane government.
Peter Smith, Newcastle-upon-TyneIf it ain’t broke (i.e. East Coast) – don’t fix it.
Alison Daly, ShrewsburyPlease re-nationalise and put people before profit.
Keith Broadhurst, LeedsRe-nationalise our railway system; it would run better under a unified single national grouping.
John Wood, SheffieldMore is being paid out in profits and share dividends than was previously invested in the railway.
Paul Pearson, ShrewsburyWe pay the highest fares in Europe to stand in corridors on late running trains that will not accept tickets from other rail companies. Something is desperately wrong.
Kevin Morris, BradfordTotally necessary.
Glen Reeves, FolkestoneBring BR back. SouthEastern and the others are a joke, and are ripping us all off.
Martin Egan, TorbayIf Mr Miliband tore up his advisers’ scripts and enunciated this as a serious aim for next year he could just win to give this notion real traction.
Colin Gill, CambridgeRailways are a service, not for profiting shareholders with taxpayers’ money.
Alex Brammer, King’s LynnIt is sad and disappointing to see our national rail companies exploit us rail users. Rail is the only possible means of transportation for those who do not drive.
Kathleen McDermott, WorksopIt’s far too complicated a system with so many different companies involved and putting profits before people.
Anthony Amor, DovercourtAll utilities, but particularly transport, should be in state ownership, not foreign-controlled multi-nationals.
David Chaney, Newcastle-upon-TyneA disastrous privatisation that should be overturned a.s.a.p.
Bill Porter, LiverpoolStop destroying our magnificent railways and heritage just to make a financial killing.
Diane Hibbert, RainworthPeople before profit.
Edward Millership, WirralReverse all the sell-offs.
Martin Davison, ChesterfieldPrivatisation has increased costs for passengers and taxpayers. Also foreign ownership means profits are siphoned out of the UK and we lose tax.
Simon Forsey, NottinghamBring it back!
Peta Grimshare, CardiffIt just hasn’t worked as efficiently as when British Rail ran all services.
Steven Toms, YorkThe railway needs investment in rolling stock to relieve overcrowding. The present system cannot deliver this.
