Elin Gibbon, Wigginton, YorkSave our railway.
Richard Hessey, WorksopBe fair. Bring back British Rail.
M Wilson, CarmarthenPrivatisation was a disaster for the railways, the passengers, and the employees. Please bring them back into public ownership as soon as possible.
Margaret Westbrook, StretfordGreat. This is Green party policy. Join us too.
Douglas McCoy, HoltThe sale and consequent shambles that privatisation has left are testament to the folly of allowing political ideology to dictate transport policy. Bring back BR.
Steven Owen, CambridgeThe railways should obviously be re-nationalised, and because of the franchise system it would cost nothing to do so. A government doing this would pull in the votes.
Michael Rose, AberystwythI agree fully. What we have is pointlessly expensive and complicated. Why, for example, is it cheaper to get multiple tickets for bits of a journey than buy one?
James Ward, ManchesterTrain stations and train lines – no thank you. Railway stations and railway lines – yes please.
Ken Howe, HexhamIf the East Coast mainline can make money for the government, so can all the others.
Chris Crossley, SheffieldI agree that we the people need to take it back from private ownership.
Sarah Macdonnell, RedhillPlease could we have a national rail system that works for the passengers and not for those who are motivated by making money from it.
Mark Lansbury, Isle of WightPeople Not Profits.
Leon SalterNo competition, no investment, still being subsidised with taxpayers’ money going into private hands and outrageous fare rises.
Jason Pak, LondonI would like to support the cause to bring back British Rail and re-nationalise the UK rail system.
Judith Joy, SkiptonPrivatisation only works for the owners and their shareholders. Return to BR now.
Patrick Hulme, AvonI can’t help comparing the situation in Britain with that of France, which is miles ahead in the provision of rail travel.
Steven O’Neill, ArmaghBring an end to private ownership of our network. It would mean lower fares and save for the nation.
Toby Montyn, RamsgateTrains should be run for the people, not for private profit.
Richard McNab, SouthamptonBritain invented public railways. Now we have one of the worst, and most expensive, railway systems in the world, thanks to privatisation.
James Wilson, HucknallTo all politicians, forget the party line and do something for the people, Re- nationalise the railways.
Malcolm Ross, EdinburghIt’s sad that railways are taking more public money now than before privatisation.
Tiffany Francis, StreathamI’m sick of terrible train services and extortionate pricing.
Steve Beesley, LeedsAll utilities needed by the nation should be owned by the nation and run for the nation, not for profit.
Liam Mills, PortsmouthPoor services and no pride in the private industry. Bring back BR.
Peter Forster, HaltwhistleThis has to be done. No more big profits from robbing the people who pay Fares.
Wendi Condon-Greening, BorehamwoodWhenever companies are privatised fat cats are always the ones to benefit and the public always end up paying the extra.
Rodney Sobey, Berwick-upon-TweedExisting East Coast rail organisation is a useful transition model for return to public ownership.
Darren Johnson, ShaftesburyWhat a joke.
James WoodmanWe all agree that the present form of disjointed, inefficient ‘rip-off railways’ cannot be sustained.
Paul Leeper, TelfordPeople before profit. Fairness and justice for all.
