John Hobday, BristolPublic transport should be based on service and not profit-making for shareholders.
Allan Wright, RytonStop the greed of privatisation.
Simon Rawlins, SheffieldNot only should the rail network be publicly-owned and accountable, but fares should be decided by democratically elected committees of workers.
Glenys Law, LondonThe best way of getting this to happen is to support Jeremy Corbyn and vote Labour in the next election. This is one of his manifesto pledges.
Chris Roberts, SouthamptonNationalisation is the only viable option to secure the future of the UK railways.
Andrew Walker, YorkKeep East Coast mainline nationalised – it’s the best railway in the country.
Andrew Ritchie, PeterboroughDo the right thing and re-nationalise the railways. Everyone is fed up with the standard of service and price increases. It’s not working.
Jacquie Ludlow, CheshamI am sick of the government feeling they can do what they like to our country. What happened to freedom of speech? We are not listened to any more.
Michael Rands, HullMake these companies run by the people and shared by the people.
Alan Garnett, Silver EndPublicly-owned services for the public. Profits for the public. The best rail networks in the world are publicly owned.
Marek Kazmierski, LondonOnly the corporations that own the railways can now afford to buy their staff tickets to commute to work on the railways. Do please give us our railways back.
Michael Connole, RotherhamI would like to see British Rail nationalised so that a proper structure of management, engineers and workers can be put in place to deliver an ethical service.
Sue Mantle, BorehamwoodOur country is in such a financial mess partly due to privatisation of all services, where profit comes before giving a good service. We need to stop this now.
Sean Osborne, UllapoolAlthough I was not alive during the time of British Rail, I believe that the only way that our railways can regain their reputation Is by nationalisation.
Margaret Anderson, Berwick-upon-TweedEast Coast are an excellent model. They have given good service and made a profit.
Janine Gallagher, HuddersfieldWe need to take back control of our railways, so we get cheaper rail fares and better service.
Dan Harrison, TynemouthBring back British Rail and keep the profits here.
Jim Gibbs, SheffieldIt seems like common sense to run a transport service for people rather than profit.
Peter Moss, BirminghamThe railway costs the public more than ever, for a bad service. Let the franchises run out, and revert to the state to build up a service for the public, not shareholders.
Ian BradshawReliable rail network required.
Carole Green, YorkEast Coast is an example of how much better it is not to have the railway privatised. The further advantage there used to be of one unified system would be welcome.
Andrew O’Connor, StockportBring back British Rail to save jobs.
Bradley Sansom, BradfordThe government has just privatised East Coast, which will inevitably end in disaster like the other failed attempts before. It was making a massive profit in public hands.
Sheena Vigors, WakefieldRail privatisation was one of the biggest mistakes of the last Tory government. All the evidence points to the need for re-nationalisation.
Luke Hamilton, FavershamVote Jeremy Corbyn and let’s make it happen.
Matt Wellings, WrexhamI’ve joined. Good on ya.
Debbie Gibson, LeedsOver-crowded trains, unreliable services, staff cuts, rising prices regardless of the quality or level of service, so time that this was addressed.
Sam Pinington, BlackpoolWe need our railways brought back on track. Privatising the railway has not worked.
Alan Derby, AndoverThe vast profits that the rail companies are making should be in public hands to make the railways more efficient and cheaper
