Patricia McCarthy, Milton KeynesThe management of rail services has been a shambles since privatisation. This essential service needs socially responsible national management.
Wilma Elton, EdinburghWhy stop running East Coast when it returned more than £1billion a year to the government? The new company will only give £3 billion in 8 years.
Nigel Smith, LondonRe-nationalisation is long overdue.
Peter Hartley, NelsonThe Colne to Preston line and other branch lines need new rolling stock to replace 142 units.
Matthew Jones, TelfordI’d like to see the railways re-nationalised and run for the good and benefit of people, and not for private profit.
Darren Leeson, HinckleyTrain travel is way to expensive now so rail should be renationalised.
Barbara Ann Spencer, LondonLet’s keep on this. It’s so relevant and the trains are so expensive compared to Europe.
Susanna Farley, New CrossIt is totally ludicrous that taxpayers fund the profits of the privatised rail system. We are not a charity for the rich.
John Paine, DoverRailways are now used as a cash cow for profiteering. We the people bought and built British Rail only for it to be sold off for profit is an outrage.
Sheena Best, Co. KerryIt should never have been privatised! This campaign has come not a moment too soon – all the best with it!
Diane Madeley, AbergavennyThe tax-paying community is paying substantially for a failed privatised system. Rail communication benefits the whole society and should be re-nationalised to reflect this.
David Williams, CardiffI don’t wish to travel by train unless I can be guaranteed a seat at these prices.
Damian Kershaw, WallaseyWhy we as taxpayers and passengers continue to fund private profits with public money is crazy.
Bruce Wembridge, BristolFar, far too much is worried about making money and lining a few people’s pockets, not improvement in service.
Andrew Barlow, LiverpoolI am a socialist. I believe in services for the people by the people and for proper employment of the people paid for by taxes, mainly from the rich.
Jennifer David, Southend-on-SeaWe’ve just had enough – 10 years too much.
Marion Clement, EdinburghWhat is wrong with public services for the public as opposed to selling valuable institutions and infrastructure to private companies beholden to profit and shareholders?
Edna Woodhead, SheffieldTake British Rail back into public ownership.
John Kearns, BoltonKeep going chaps. Railways first, utilities second.
Calum Menzies, GlasgowI’m disgruntled at a system where foreign state-owned companies can profiteer from our trains, but our government can’t operate a nationalised service.
Karen Nadin, NewarkAll part of the Tory attempt to put all public services in private hands. Re-nationalise all public utilities as soon as possible.
Nik Walker, PrestonEnough of the experiment – it has comprehensively failed abysmally. Return the railroads to the customers.
Elaine Barraud, GodalmingOur rail system should be run purely for public service as it is in a lot of other European countries.
Joseph O’Sullivan, WareIt’s a bloody liberty.
Trish Harewood, GodmanchesterWe need an integrated system run by one body with even prices, not bargain basement for some and exorbitant for the workers.
Michael Smallwood, HornseaWe need an organisation like this.
Naomi Brown, SouthamptonGive the railways back to the public. Private ownership doesn’t work. It’s not a new idea and it can be done with next to no cost. What are they playing at?
Nicholas Allen, YorkThe railways should be owned by the British Government, not the French and German Governments, nor the private sector, for the benefit of shareholders, not passengers.
Joel Martinengo, CanterburyAs a student I cannot afford to pay over £40 for a next day return to London when I only live in Canterbury, an hour’s train journey away. It’s a disgrace.
Brian Wakeling, KeighleySafety first, service second, re-investment in infrastructure third, profits last.
