Railway investment for the passengers not for the fat cats’ and shareholders’ dividends. People before profit.

A Beckett, Bristol

I bought my train ticket for my regular commute. However, I accidentally bought it for the next day and was then tricked into giving my details for a £100 fine.

Joseph Pitchford, Harrogate

I regularly travel by train from Edinburgh to London. I’d like to see our rail network being put back in the public’s hands again, away from the greedy franchisees.

Sean McCabe, Falkirk

There is no argument against nationalisation.

Ken Cole, Norwich

British Rail must prevail.

Frans van Bussel, Boekel, Netherlands

I support the idea of bringing back British Rail because it is ridiculous to think it’s cheaper to fly than to take the train. We’ve had enough, Cameron.

Martyn Lyman, Leicester

Corbyn can do it.

Will Baleham, Oxford

The last few times I used a train to Cardiff from Pyle it was standing room only. I travel by car now.

Leonora Matthews, Bridgend

The current service is expensive, unfriendly and wasteful.

Ian McCall, Llanidloes

The transport monopolies cannot lose – it’s a win-win situation for them backed by the government.

Mike Friend

Bring Back British Rail now.

Pat Ferguson, Nottingham

I would love to use the train. I usually cannot afford the fare.

Sally Bartlett, Souldrop, Bedford

To achieve a reduction in pollution and CO2 levels causing climate change and health problems, we need to bring back affordable community transport to communities via rail.

Cara Naden, Langport

We should never have sold our public transport to the private sector. It was the worst idea by any government. Be smart and bring it back.

Imrul Hossain, Watford

Re-nationalise.

David Webb, Oldham

BR should not have been privatised in the first place.

Jim Aird, Edinburgh

TFL shows how one centralised control of a transport network can benefit passengers by keeping fares low and co-ordinating everything together.

Nick Posford, Redhill

This would be a great first step in regard to putting this nation back together.

Mike Alexander, Sheerness

This should be done after the next general election. Bring back British Rail – that would make jobs and be better for everyone.

Graham Bowden, Ashford, Kent

Public transport should not be for private profit.

Jan Parry, Bristol

Privately-owned rail companies need to go. Re-nationalise the railways.

Raymon Narwal, Doncaster

Not before time.

Beryl Murphy, Oldham

I am totally against train operators’ high pricing, which still doesn’t guarantee a comfortable seat.

Ted Hammond, Daventry

Division of the rail service into smaller providers would always be economically unviable and a waste of resources.

Chris Stevens, Robertsbridge

More than half the British population want industries like rail back in public ownership. And they’re right.

Des Nelson, Edinburgh

Give it back: you’ve mucked it up.

James Mackay, Glasgow

When I looked into journeys I would like to make by train, I found it was far too expensive and extremely complicated so I just went by road instead.

Norman Noy

Let us see a genuine transport system made for the 21st Century. Britain is way behind Europe in rail travel. Think people not profit.

John Peter Anderson, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

A unified rail system is the best thing for this country.

Steven Lissemore, Coventry

Private good – Public bad. It’s Orwellian.

John Butler, New Malden
