James Hobbs, BristolThe prices of rail travel in this country are disgusting and something has to be done about it. Cheaper rail prices would mean fewer people driving cars which means a greener country.
Steph Knowles, LeicesterPrivatisation is a disaster – time for new improved renationalisation!
Linda McGregor, RadstockPut passengers first please.
Tony Gale, DerbyRail prices are going sky-high and the service isn’t improving one bit. Privatisation hasn’t worked. Profit shouldn’t be the main motivator in providing a public service.
Ken Low, HartlepoolWe need to re-nationalise the railways which should never have been privatised in the first place.
Robert McArdle, CoventryWe the public are sick of private companies ripping off customers. Bring the rail network back under public accountable ownership.
Gary James, LondonBring back British Rail so we can get people in Great Britain working again.
Max Parkes, BristolThe never ending rise of transport costs within the country has never made sense to me. No one will travel here if they can fly abroad for cheaper.
Emma HaddenToo many bad experiences, too few characters to write them in. Bring back British Rail.
Vince Edwards, CoventryPrivatisation, on its own, has not delivered a good service. Fares are way above inflation. Improvements in the network have resulted only from government intervention.
Chris Hardy, CheshireRe-nationalise British Rail and give us our reliability back.
Alex Bailey, Craven ArmsPublic transport must serve the interests of the public.
John McGeehan, LondonI’m sick of paying fares to so-called private operators who are actually foreign state-owned companies.
Ben Carlin, FalkirkIt’s scandalous that the Scottish railway has been sold to the Dutch national rail. Give our railways back to the people.
Anthony Ackroyd, PeterboroughI am impressed with East Coast now and would like to see the whole network integrated and publicly run.
Anthony Coombs, BuckinghamshireThe current system is not working and the only solution is a single integrated rail system that is publicly owned.
Mark Whittaker, NottinghamshireBring back British Rail.
Raymond Sansum, Milton KeynesWe need a unified co-ordinated rail system.
Russell Wilson, DerbyIt should be publicly owned.
Claire Constable, LondonOur railways should be publicly owned and accountable. Privatisation has been a nightmare. Ticket prices are like playing the lottery.
Martin Catchpole, IpswichBring it back. The people’s railway.
Jasmine Matthews, HuddersfieldI always felt I was not enough of an expert to get involved in politics. Now I realise there are very few experts within politics.
Sheena Brown, WhitstableBritish Rail should be run for the people, not the greedy shareholders.
Matthew Jenkins, WorcesterWhy are the Green Party the only main party supporting this popular and practical policy?
Ariadna Coten, BarcelonaAll our support from Stop Pujades transport Barcelona.
Neal Ball, HoveBring back one unified company, but it must be free of government control.
Janet Mobbs, StockportThe railways are too important to our economy to be run on market forces. They should be there to deliver a service, not to make private profit.
Abdul-Nasser J G Baston, LondonA publicly owned, democratically accountable public transport system.
Pauline StephensThe railway is now out of control. Private companies, individuals and the DfT are playing games with shareholders.
Robert McDonald, UxbridgeA co-ordinated, state-run railway system has got to be better than the overpriced mess we currently have.
