Richard Gillanders, LondonIf private enterprise can/will not run Railtrack/Network Rail, why should it operate the profit-making parts and hold fare-payers to ransom for an essential service?
Sam Wynne, Poynton£8 to go 5 stops. That’s £160 a month to get to work for an £800 a month job.
Vivian Jenkins, DundeeWhat a mess this enterprise has been. It needs to be sorted now.
Farouk Sohawon, LondonBringing the railway network into public ownership will put some order in and focus on the industry.
Neil Winterburn, LiverpoolThe rail system of the UK should support the mobility of the population not the greed of corporations.
Piet Biesheuvel, BristolWe have the most expensive railway system in the world. Why? Because of the massively poorly thought-through privatisation by the Tory government and greed.
Philippa Jane Brown, Stoke-on-TrentThe rail system needs to be re-nationalised.
Brian King, GatesheadPlease, no more greed.
Johnathan Mark Sharpe-Smith, Great DriffieldPublic transport. Public, belonging to the people not invisible shareholders. Trains for people, not for private profits.
John Adkins, St AustellVote Labour and do it.
Colin Carpenter, BedfordWe need to unify the railways again to make them much cheaper for us to use, so we need British Railways back again.
Catherine Russell, BattleThe franchise model is totally unsuitable for a modern rail network. It is less efficient and we are being priced out of travel and sometimes our jobs.
Ian David Wildbore, ChesterfieldSave billions. Scrap HS2. Electrify East Midlands route to Sheffield now.
Lesley Barnes, EalingI think a fractured rail service is crazy and more expensive.
Adam F, NottinghamSolidarity.
Anthony Davis, LondonI daily use trains and the prices keep going up and up and the service getting worse and worse. This should be non-profit and the government should be at the helm.
Anthony Wilson, East SussexI want to shove my train ticket somewhere I won’t say! But you know where I am thinking of, cough, cough!
Alex Ogden, BuryThere are institutions that, even in a free market economy, function far more effectively when run nationally. Transport, along with health care and others, is one of them.
Jordan Murray, LondonRun for people, not for profit.
Wendy Hewlett, St Leonard’s-on-SeaIt should never have been privatised. Let’s get it back to how it was – having a national timetable. Bliss.
David Edwards, FromeThe rail network is an essential part of the UK infrastructure.
James McAlpine, InvernessThe joke is on us and it’s time we said ‘enough is enough’.
Michael Coleman, RedditchLet us take it back. It and all the other state companies and the NHS do not belong to a sick bunch of half-wit profiteering politicos to sell off as they wish.
Marek Gabrysch, NewcastleCan I have my train set back please?
Jaymee Smith, RedhillIt will never be the same as when I worked for British Rail.
Sheila Richards, LeighBring British Rail back along with everything else we want Britain to be.
Gareth Robinson, WrexhamRegionalised rail has failed the common, everyday and occasional passenger with constantly increasing price hikes! Time to bring back a fairer system and value for money.
Jill Coleman, MiddlesbroughThe rail fares are ridiculous and should be much more cost-effective.
Vince Hayes, BedfordIf state railways are viable as a solid, excellent business then I support this campaign – But the old British Rail did not achieve that.
Brian Cane, UttoxeterStop the fat cats getting richer and still costing the taxpayer a fortune in subsidies.
