Sonia Pollani, Horsted KeynesI will not use the train service until it is re-nationalised.
Chantelle Abigail Stocks, LeedsAs someone who uses the train as their only form of travel, it has massively restricted my day to day life, especially given that I am a student.
Michael Pruce, LondonStop these private companies ripping us all off with their price rises year in year out. Bring back BR.
Claire Eve, BrightonPrivate companies do an awful job for double the price. Make it public.
Debra Philpott, Haywards HeathI’m speechless.
Keith Smith, HullThe rail system needs to be a national service. At the moment, it’s too fragmented. Unite it in public ownership.
Barry Marshall, SheffieldThe system was miles better under the old public British Rail. The franchise system in my opinion is just a shambles.
Dave Dyke, WalsallPublic transport needs to be under common ownership, not in private hands.
Roy England, WatfordWhy should profits be given to the fat cats when the profits could and should be ploughed back into the industry?
Helen Glazier, SheffieldPublic transport is a public service. It should not be for profit-making businesses who get subsidised by taxpayers.
Giacomo G, LondonI always complained about the Italian railways (public) but Great Western railway makes me miss it. Greatest case of privatisation failure ever.
Melbourne Chadwick, SheffieldRailways are for the people, not the Tory millionaire shareholders.
Diane Cox, PenzanceSo good to know there is a movement to do this.
Mark Larter, LondonFor the people.
Christine Barratt-Phelps, StalybridgeIt would be in the British peoples’ interest to have it back as British Rail. The Government should never have sold it off as it was one of the citizens’ properties.
Moira Garland, LeedsTransport to benefit the country should be run for public benefit, not profit. A unified system makes sense.
Anthony Levchenko-Scott, Palmerston NorthI want BR back.
Gabriel Miles, NottinghamI’m afraid this may be pointless, seeing how much it would cost to buy it all back, but it must be proven that selling it was wrong in the first place.
Charlie Burgess, EastbournePower to the people.
Clive Simmons, BournemouthBring back BR. Let the money be spent on the service, not on the lawyers and accountants.
Geoffrey Griffiths, YorkPut back public quality, get rid of private profit from an essential public service.
Andrew Green, SwanseaBring back British Rail. All is forgiven.
Christine Ogilvie, BexleyOur fragmented rail system does not work. Bring back a National Transport System.
Stephen Sparkes, Ulverston150 years of learning best practice of running a railway was thrown away at break-up. Absolute stupidity. Some people always think they know better.
Nigel Jones, CreweI got a long service award from BR, been retired for four years, and haven’t seen much improvement in real terms. Safety issues get overlooked, due to cost cutting.
Andy Padgham, LondonBR wasn’t great but at least their heart was in the right place.
Lynn Stewart, LondonWe need a change. The way things are now is appalling. We need trains to get to work and they just aren’t working and the companies don’t care. We need a change.
Jennifer Gray, SelbyI travelled with British Rail for many years and it was always good value and the best service. They should have left British Rail alone.
Alex Casale, LondonSince this public service was sold off, the taxpayer is still paying large subsidies, even though it has been ‘privatised’.
Stacey Deamicis, PlymouthRe-nationalisation of the network is vital to help keep prices down and fairer for those of us that live outside of the NE/NW corridors.
