Nigel James, WarringtonPrivatisation has not delivered efficient, unified and affordable service. Re-nationalise for public interest reasons.
Julia Hector, StirlingI would like to be able to use the railways like I used to, where my (reasonable) fare goes towards the railways not for some profiteering company.
Richard Duffy, BirminghamBring Back BR and Class 50’s also 1950’s/1960’s diesel multiple units.
Eriks Teteris, ReadingHow could anyone have tried to privatise, and make what is a core service to the nation a profit making industry? Now there’s a good idea to make it all go wrong.
Carole Frost, BirtleyBritish rail should never have been privatised, especially for profit I say re-nationalise the service.
David Marsh, LondonWe wouldn’t be in the position where no-one gets the same rail privileges as staff did before 1994. That to me and many others is incredibly unfair.
Matthew Eades, BromleyThe fragmentation and privatisation of the railways greatly compromised safety which lead to the Hatfield disaster and the subsequent re-nationalisation of Railtrack.
Matthew Saunders, LondonWhat do we do now? What do we do next? What can we do to help campaign for cheaper, simpler and fairer UK rail fares?
Samuel Vickers, BarnsleyBritish Rail – better service, better value, better values.
Steve Goodman, WellingboroughRe-nationalise not just the railways, but the electricity, gas and water suppliers as well.
Helen Clarkson, LondonThe price of rail travel for my work commute is preventing me from being able to eat a balanced diet. Something has to be done. End this insane ransom they hold us to.
Ann Stieglitz, WallingfordAs a frequent user of trains, it would make life better if British Rail was returned to us.
Mark Stewart, AyrPrivatisation was done on the cheap, supposedly to allow the firms to upgrade the network which they reneged on.
Desiree Muller, LondonBring back British Rail. All is forgiven.
George Parker, ManchesterPublic ownership is better than private. Just look at the East Coast Mainline for proof.
Bill Hush, EdinburghIf the East Coast rail line can positively contribute to the public purse why can’t others?
Doug Bate, EssexI remember the old BR which was a lot better than the service we have now, as it’s very confusing (different tickets etc.) trains are late and more expensive.
Charlie Monck, CharlburyRe-nationalisation should take place without any compensation to shareholders. They bought what we already own, so should lose their money as if they’d bought a stolen car.
Wayne Parr, Wiganit was the worst thing this country did, getting rid of British Rail.
Kaan Sahin, WiganBBBR.
David Wilde, PrestonpansVive British Rail.
Charles Batten, LondonBR belonged to the whole nation, a national asset belonging to all of us which was sold off by an inhumane government.
Sue Flint, BristolHigh time, too.
Martin Read, CardiffChoice’ turned out to be no such thing.
Peter Gregson, EdinburghWe need British Rail back. Why did Tony Blair and Gordon Brown never act?
Michael Hancock, Lincolnif ran for a bit of profit you’d get more out of it than now when every fucker tax dodges stupid pricks come back to reality
Christine Oliver, WellsI’ve used trains for 60+ years. It’s gone downhill since privatisation. We need a national strategy and organisation that puts people and the national interest first.
Ethan Lee, FifeBR was excellent.
Marilyn Holloway, Leighton BuzzardI’m old enough to remember BR. While it needed investment it was in so many respects better than the confusion of current arrangements. Re-nationalise, rationalise.
Jenny House, AylesburyI hate having to split train tickets to get the best deals from different train companies. Bring back sensible pricing and Bring back British Rail.
