The rail network should not have been privatised in the first place.

James Buckland

Southern out – they are ruining my life.

Arana Van Week, Bromley

I no longer take the train because you need to buy tickets weeks ahead in order to afford them.

James Anderson, Carnoustie

The Labour Party’s weak response to this magnificent campaign is not nearly enough. Nothing less than full re-nationalisation of our railway system will do. Fat cats out.

Susie Riggott, Southampton

Price gouging on car parking as result of massive monopolistic position in the area around car parks.

Peter Johnson, London

At least under British Rail it was easy to go anywhere in the UK and not be swamped with a maze of different fares.

Stephen Sinden, Wye

To re-nationalise the Railway under British Rail and build and design British locomotives and British rolling stock and British Multi units again.

Jamie Evetts, Milton Keynes

And steam too.

David Reilly, Farnham

Sitting down with my grandad talking about the railways, makes me think of a bygone era. And I want to help bring that back.

Brian Braithwaite, Brighton

Stop the East Coast line sell-off.

Robert Kennedy, Kelsall

The return of British Rail would give the nation fairness and a national transport network.

Robert Nix, Leominster

The East Coast mainline situation has shown the undoubted value of a rail service effectively removed from privatisation. Let’s have more of it.

Doug Simpson, Harrogate

Some things in life should not be about making a profit.

Cynthia Fleming, Grantham

Our national rail services are an expensive, disorganised shambles.

Iain Morrison, Sevenoaks

Railways for the people not for profiteers.

C Green, Godalming

Privatisation has not worked. Bring public transport back to the public.

Annie Leymarie, Totnes

The ownership of the railways should never have been separated. The railway experts said it would not work and it doesn’t.

Sonia Gray-Clough, Harrogate

Public ownership for public services.

Russ Gladwish, Norwich

Avanti is a mess, Virgin was a much better service in general.

Liam Brown, Liverpool

The people who pay are the passengers. Look after them and bring back British Rail. Even blue and grey coaches are welcome!

Michael Miles, Swindon

Railways are for the people, not the Tory millionaire shareholders.

Melbourne Chadwick, Sheffield

Put the railways back into public ownership. It will save money and save tax-payers’ money.

Joan Sanger, Beckingham

Just for once, admit that privatisation hasn’t worked. It’s costing more in subsidies now than it ever did when it was nationalised.

Peter Wright, Barnsley

No more profits before people.

Sean Fairbrother, Warrington

Train commuting to work is a basic need not a luxury.

Prasad Sriramula, London

Bring back the Lion and Wheel symbol and its proper name – British Railways.

Nigel Baldwin

For a better Britain.

Martyn McCarthy, London

Bring back British rail. Stop robbing the British public.

Ed Jasion, London
