It’s time to take back all that was stolen from the British public.

Alex Allardyce, Leicester

Let common sense prevail and break up the jolly club of profiteering companies with no competition. Essential services in public ownership is the best way forward.

Phil Sefton, Miskin, Pontyclun

I believe all major infrastructure should be nationalised, so that it is controlled by government, thereby giving the voters ultimate control, not fat cats.

Steve Blackwell, Nottingham

This country needs to be unified. Bring back BR (BR Blue while you’re at it). One solid fare, not 20 companies claiming they’re the cheapest. Rail for the people.

William Hall, Derby

We used to have an easy to understand railway system with a sensible ticketing structure.

John Wilson, Cambridgeshire

Is it really going to make a difference or help the elderly with their travel? Let’s hope so.

Josie Matthews, Nottingham

Transport, like healthcare and education, is a basic human right and it’s prime objective should be service not profit.

Curran McKay, London

Southern Rail are useless and expensive.

Alex Rolfe-Sanders, London

Trains are necessary infrastructure for the good of the nation so should not be left in the hands of those who would bleed them dry to maximise profit.

Robin Mallinson, Hatfield

Bring back British Rail.

Hazel O’D

As a foreigner who now lives in the UK, I still cannot believe how expensive (and otherwise capitalist) trains in the UK are, and that the British people let this happen.

Jeff Hemmen, London

British Rail is best for Britain.

Dan Girard, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Bring British Rail back along with everything else we want Britain to be.

Sheila Richards, Leigh

Severe lack of peak time trains (e.g. back/forth Brighton) and also lack of scheduling with local bus services, makes getting to work time-consuming, expensive and awful.

N Zaidi, Brighton

It is insanity not to have a British Rail system that is coherent, coordinated and not about profit. Efficient transport should be part of the infrastructure.

Sue Mills, Leeds

Our railways should be run by Britain and not foreign companies. Prices have soared whilst the service has remained diabolical, Bring back British Rail.

Kevin Hickson, South Shields

Un-privatise is the only way forward from this mess.

Dennis Hart, Manchester

We should really do this.

Nigel Apperley, Bournemouth

It should not be cheaper to drive than to travel by train.

Amy Stretch-Parker, Lytham St Annes

If Brexit is here to stay, then the railways should be too!

Christopher Waters, Manchester

Well done for taking this on so competently.

Monica Lanman, London

Keep up the good work.

Ian Carnew, Bristol

By the people for the people.

Sarah Haworth, Devon

I want a national rail service to be proud of.

Anna Kowalczyk, Salford

Track, facilities, rolling stock and staff should be managed regionally, with overall direction from the centre.

Geoffrey Crouch, Cranbrook

I agree fully. What we have is pointlessly expensive and complicated. Why, for example, is it cheaper to get multiple tickets for bits of a journey than buy one?

Michael Rose, Aberystwyth

I started using BR in the 1970s, along with National Bus Company buses. I see nothing wrong with state-owned transport and I support this campaign. I must get the T-shirt.

Adrian Willats, Waterlooville

A government decision that was incredibly misguided and influenced by greed and corruption.

Andrew Iddenden, Aldershot

I believe rail transport should be run as a joined-up service and this should be funded out of general taxation.

Anthony Oatham, Epping
