Paul Greening, DorchesterRe-nationalise the railways. They are a public service and can be run more efficiently in the public interest than for private profit.
Nicholas Smith, WrexhamWe need order to our rail networks, they are so disrupted.
Dorothy Chambers, LincolnI agree John Major had no right to sell it off.
Mary Pearson, BirminghamI’m president of Birmingham Trades Union Council. All public transport should be in public hands. People before profit.
James Parsons, LondonThe rail network is a joke in its current state, and the most expensive in Europe.
Fouad Saad, LondonI depend on this train for my daily commute and it is an absolute disaster!
Bill Tasker, LiverpoolDismantling British Rail has led to chaos.
Mesut Kesen, LondonCurrent railways are a mess and confusing.
Steve Yeates, East SussexWe need a train service run for passengers not shareholders.
Mathew Taylor, ManchesterPlease re-nationalise the rail network.
Ross Kirkland, EdinburghBritish Rail should be state-owned and not privately owned.
Spencer Guest, WakefieldIt costs a fortune to get around by rail and you can only go to specific places. It’s meant to be cheaper but costs more than me getting around in my car including taxes.
Geoff Hayley, LincolnFor a streamlined rail experience, bring back British Rail.
Tim Williams, SloughAs someone who worked on the railway, what was once a reasonably good network
Dawne Brown, Newcastle-upon-TynePrivatisation doesn’t work for anyone but shareholders.
Jenny Mangin, LondonI have finally given up on trying to travel by train. It’s far too complicated, far too expensive.
Steve Howlett, Southend-on-SeaThese rail services have become pocket-lining mockery. Increasing charges, and declining reliability, massaging the figures and facts to suit their greed.
Stuart Hopkins, TorquayAs long as BR learnt from the mistakes of the past I absolutely agree that the rail system should be in public ownership. More joined-up and with cheaper fares.
Chris Donnelly, LondonThe situation is farcical. Huge amounts of money lining fat cat pockets which could be reinvested to create a system less embarrassing. No excuse for no automation.
Darren Phillips, LutonWe demand nationalisation of banks, railways and energy.
Sam Wynne, Poynton£8 to go 5 stops. That’s £160 a month to get to work for an £800 a month job.
Alastair Stewart, LancasterIf we are to support communities and re-connect to a more social way of being other than through Facebook, the rail network requires a solid base to support this from.
David SterrattThere are good franchises and bad franchises, the system is geared up to being hit-and-miss and that’s the problem.
Patrick Iredale, HockleyUK private rail companies receive more subsidies than British Rail ever did. I say re-nationalise the railways and run them to cover costs only.
Richard Oakes, LondonWe have seen the East Coast line can deliver. Stop these shareholders robbing us of the profits we need for our railways.
Andrew Laggan, Newcastle-upon-TyneInvestment is badly needed in our railways, better lines and faster trains to benefit whole of country. Standards have been in decline for far too long.
Don Kearney, SussexBring back BR.
David Kirkham, YorkPrivatisation has been largely an expensive gift for some corporations. Bring back BR.
Sarah Walton, LeedsTransport is too important to this country to leave it to a market which cannot operate proper competition as, by definition, most routes are going to be a monopoly.
Daniel Roberts, OrpingtonBritish Rail rules.
