It’s cheaper for me to fly on a return trip to Berlin than it is to go from Stockport to London. There is something wrong here.

Privatisation doesn’t work. Nationalisation does, if not interfered with by those with vested interests. Get the country moving and working properly again.

Expensive, cumbersome, inadequate and a national disgrace – Britain’s privatised rail network. Follow the European model and bring back BR.

The fares are ridiculous and unfair. Rail travel is far more environmentally friendly than car driving and should be affordable for all.

Our rail and utility companies should never have been sold off in the first place.

Why are the German, French and Dutch state railways allowed to run our railways, yet our own Direct Rail (BR) state railway cannot. It’s crazy.

I use East Coast trains which shows what state-owned trains can do for service and value for money. Let’s extend this to the rest of the network.

Return the railways to the people. Five regions served by real railwaymen. Now they stuff trains in silly liveries.

Privatisation as it is is a rip-off.

East Coast is the most successful franchise now while two private operators couldn’t make it work.

Please re-nationalise the railways.

Bring the railways back into public hands. Stop private companies ripping us off and putting profits before the public.

British Rail services were more efficient and cheaper. Bring back British Rail.

At my station, there is no assistance, no plants and no-one who can advise what is happening at any given time.

The people have spoken.

Bring back British Rail to save our railways.

The return of British Rail will see profits repaid to the Chancellor, not to private shareholders.

Power to the people. Down with privatisation.

A rail service where passengers are valued, instead of being ripped off to line the pockets of the already obscenely rich.

It’s time for people to take the railways back.

If we’re paying for it, it should be ours.

Save our railway.

How can a fragmented service serve the needs of the UK? Co-ordination and integration of all public transport services is what is required, not mindless competition

It is long past the time for our rail network to be returned back to public ownership and to providing reliable, quality service and not just profit.

We pay six times as much as Europe. We need a nationalised railway now.

The people who used to knock British Rail aren’t knocking any more are they?

Open the line to Aberystwyth from Carmarthen.

People before profit.

Any profit made should be re-invested into the service not go to private companies. East Coast rail was great. I can’t believe they lost the franchise.

The transport system is too disjointed, causing confusion for users and permitting all of those companies concerned to make profits which should, by rights, be OUR profit.
