Amila Y’mech, Tedstone DelamereTrains are a public service, not an excuse to make a profit.
Carl Conway, RedcarRe-nationalise the railways.
Hayden Sellick, Newton AbbotProletariats should unite wherever.
Joanne Hughes, DerbyUnder privatisation standards have fallen whilst prices have risen. We should re-nationalise the railways.
Richard Lane, YorkThe privateers have had their chance and shown us what they do with a ‘small state’. It’s time to take our country back.
Trevor Lewis, LondonReturn all public services back to people, ownership and management.
Joan Burt, EdinburghAbellio is a publicly-owned Dutch company. Northern Rail should be publicly-owned by the British people for those using and working on the line.
Pierre Clary, BarkingI’m all for it but it is as likely as bringing back clause 4 on the Labour party’s manifesto.
Stephen Millard, South ShieldsTories out. Re-nationalise the power companies too.
Jill Vogler, LeedsI would very much support Caroline Lucas MP’s private member’s bill for each part of the railway to be brought back into public ownership as its franchise expires.
Tim Tyler, ManchesterTrain travel should always be cheaper than a single person driving. There is also a duty to provide affordable travel for citizens that are not able to drive.
Chris Bright, LondonIf we’re going to subsidise it anyway, I don’t want my taxes going into the pockets of shareholders.
Rik Manning, StroudA railway network based on service not profit. I want a truly inclusive rail service so the average citizen can travel at a reasonable price.
Roy Manterfield, NottinghamPublic transport should be run as a public service, not for private profit.
Benjamin Adams, LewesWe all need our rail system. It is not only essential for our nation but should be part of our national pride.
George McCart, CheltenhamPrivatisation is nothing more than a licence to spend taxpayers’ money on greedy shareholders.
Geoff IngramMy father-in-law was on a train broken down for 4.5hrs. It took him13.5hrs to cross London, after which he was fuming and died of a heart attack.
Nicholas Burman-Vince, LondonAn efficient and affordable train service is vital for the economic well-being of the country.
Jill Coleman, MiddlesbroughThe rail fares are ridiculous and should be much more cost-effective.
Douglas Howard, LondonService for the customer not the shareholder.
Dean Riedener, PembrokeJust bring it back. It doesn’t need shareholders. It needs cheaper fares.
David Deadman, BelvedereOne railway publicly owned.
Susanna Jordan, Chipping NortonMake rail transport an affordable alternative to road. Renationalise!
T Love-Taylor, LondonTrains are the future. They should belong to the nation.
June Sutherby, PocklingtonPrivatisation for profit is obscene, selfish, greedy and undemocratic.
Barry Gallego, RochesterWe are fed up with paying high rise prices for these greedy rail bosses. The trains never get you on time. Bring back British Rail.
Zac Duncan, LondonThis is unfortunately all I’ve known (as a 27 year old). I cannot fathom how it could be more difficult than it is in this situation if it was nationalised.
Simon Groom, LutonThe current service Luton to London is appalling. It needs to be re-nationalised and run for the benefit of the travelling public and not shareholders.
Andrew Cremin, Merthyr TydfilThe railways should be owned by the public, charging low price rail fares, owned by us, for the people, by the people.
Gillian Lawrence, EdinburghCurrent rail transport is complex, profit-driven, with safety loopholes. It should be replaced by a sustainable service offering an alternative to car travel.
