Thomas Burke, OldhamWhat gives this Coalition the right to sell off the Royal Mail against the wishes of the British people? I’m more than unconvinced. Stop this now.
Pauline Hacker, Preston.Bring back British Rail.
Ray Riley, MansfieldInstead of standing on its own feet this has become dependent on taxpayers for survival.
Jonathan Futrell, PadstowTake profit out of the equation and we will have a British Rail that works and of which the nation can be proud.
Graham Cook, ScunthorpeI love travelling by rail but I’m afraid that soon me and the family will be priced off the railway.
Jonathan Gulliford, Merthyr TydfilThe railways belonged to us before they were sold off. Re-nationalise British Rail and use any profits to re-invest in the infrastructure, not line the pockets of the rich.
Kevin Proctor, ErithI want to see one rail network for the whole of the UK.
Alan Lyddiard, Newcastle-upon-TyneFor the people by the people.
Neil Sheehan, MerseysideWe need a railway system to be proud of, which can once again become the envy of the world!
Joseph Redfern, CardiffCritical Infrastructure should be nationalised. Privatisation of rail has failed. Operators do not have the interests of the public at heart.
Geoff Walker, Stoke-on-TrentTime for a real change in politics, time for the nation’s good and the welfare of all, not just shareholders.
Andrew Ganley, Sutton, SurreyYet another totally fed up railway user.
Alex Lewis, BangorDo we not owe this to the future generations? I miss the scene of an InterCity liveried train whizzing past the rural coastlines. British Rail all the way.
John Seymour, Tadcaster.The rail network needs to be unified, and as the East Coast main line proves, running under public ownership after two private company failures, a profit can be made.
Trevor Taylor, PhiladelphiaWay to go.
Leonora Rozee, StroudAn efficient and effective public transport system for the benefit of the public and the nation as a whole. Is that too much to ask?
Aidan Turner-Bishop, PrestonIt’s maddening that we have state-run trains in Britain but other countries manage trains. They siphon away our tax subsidies. We fund DB, NS and SNCF. Why not our BR?
Sam Sadjady, LondonThe service, the atmosphere, the filth and, above all, having your pants pulled down every day!
Greg Marshall, NottinghamStop profiteers making a packet out of ordinary people.
Ellis Lander, LondonIt’s the only solution that makes any sense.
Alex Manda, LondonI am a passenger, not a customer.
Francis Heyes, NewarkDavid Cameron was at Bedford station before he was P.M. I asked him if he would re-nationalise the railways and he categorically said no and signed my book the same.
Bernie Ward, TorquayIf the railways are publicly owned there is always someone to actually take responsibility, otherwise each privately owned section passes the buck.
David Gallemore, Leamington SpaIs there a local group?
Joseph Maser-Clarke, BrightonObviously an automatic monopoly can’t be a private industry, honestly.
Lockhart Murdoch, LondonCash for railways not for profits and shareholders and fat cat directors. We know it makes sense, why doesn’t our government?
Philip Maguire, LondonThe railway network needs to be a subsidised public owned company with only 1st class & 2nd class prices. None of the peak time & holiday price hikes we suffer now.
David Wilde, PrestonpansVive British Rail.
Paul Sumner, SouthportIndeed.
Jennifer David, Southend-on-SeaWe’ve just had enough – 10 years too much.
