I’ve had my fill of badly-run train services charging the earth.

Louise Lawrance, Shoreham-by-Sea

Whenever companies are privatised fat cats are always the ones to benefit and the public always end up paying the extra.

Wendi Condon-Greening, Borehamwood

Run the railways for the sake of the railways, not the cash you can milk (looking at you, First Great Western.)

Timothy Swann, Worcester

Thanks for organising. I always wanted to find people who also want nationalisation of British Rail.

Tun Loakthar, London

East Coast is doing an excellent job. If it is not broke do not fix it.

Colin Austin, Peterlee

What an excellent campaign. Get rid of these vile profit making companies who are ruining the railways.

Anthony Ellison, Greenhithe

It’s about time we gave power over train prices back to the people and took the initiative to have more state-owned commodities.

Tim Shields, Chorley

Major gave our railways away, so how about having it given back to us on the same basis. In fact the people of Britain did not consent in the first place.

Robert Montague, Langley Mill

We need an affordable, flexible and comfortable railway that is focussed on passengers’ needs, with the greatest feasible reach and diversity of destination.

Paul Cairns, Halifax

I fully support re-nationalisation – let’s get our railway back and improve it.

Richard Partridge, Wellingborough

Is there a local group?

David Gallemore, Leamington Spa

Yes, I quite agree, privatisation is a dirty word.

Jean O’Donnell, Bury

I agree public services should be owned by the public and not by the wealthy minority for profit.

Kevin McClean, Leeds

I’m a full time student studying art and design at Exeter. A return for me from Totnes is £11.70..with a rail card. That’s daylight robbery.

Ray Goodwin, Totnes

Private profit never serves people.

Graham Askew, Cambridge

British Rail was a glorious organisation.

Hector, Cheshire

The privatised system is expensive and pointless.

Steve Rogers, Totnes

Stop politicians messing with our national assets – rail, NHS and the utilities.

William Walker, Peterborough

Invest in infrastructure instead of enriching shareholders.

Sam Jordison

Keep the greedy fat cats away from the people’s railway.

Noel McCullough, Belfast

No HS2 though, please.

Paul Quadros, Nottingham

Common sense, public service run for the people, not bankers.

Alison Morgan, Gloucester

Privatisation of the railways has been a disaster for rail users with rising fares and the lack of investment that was promised.

Kevin Wilson, Leeds

No competition, frequent delays, dangerously overcrowded trains, overpriced fares. Who’s benefiting from privatised rails? Shareholders!

Tom Casserly, Reading

Re-nationalisation is long overdue.

Nigel Smith, London

We need a nationalised, unified train system. Prices and service quality has become far too sporadic under privatisation.

Richard Denham, Oxford

Services don’t need to make money. They are what you spend money on.

Matt Harradine, Bristol

For-profit ownership of the rail service simply doesn’t work. In most rural areas there is zero competition, so zero incentive for improvements or price reductions.

Joseph Burnham, Sheringham

Definitely bring it back. I’m just fed up hearing about these price hikes all the time.

Christine Maloney, Romford

Our fares are so much higher than everyone else’s in Europe. Canterbury – Swansea is £90. It’s time for change!

Daniel Bourn, Canterbury
