I pay £10.30 for a 30 minute train ride. I never get a seat and I feel ripped off every morning.

Mitch Law, Weston-super-Mare

We need to do something because soon Kent to Manchester will cost over

Steve King, Royal Tunbridge Wells

The UK has the highest cost for rail travel in the world. Train companies are running monopolies and not providing a good service.

Allan Cook, Waterbeach

It would be better with British Rail all with the same colours.

David Johnston, Glenrothes

Un-privatise is the only way forward from this mess.

Dennis Hart, Manchester

South East Trains is the most terribly formed transport company I have seen.

Jareth Turner, Margate

Re-nationalise and allow private investment with the state as the majority shareholder.

David Cooper, Bradford

Avanti West Coast are incompetent and not able to run the north west rail service.

Claire Sheehan, Blackpool

I agree John Major had no right to sell it off.

Dorothy Chambers, Lincoln

We deserve cheaper prices. Everything is going up except wages.

Martha Vale, Hereford

The National Rail tagline “Britain’s train companies working together” is quite laughable and out of touch with the railway as it is today.

Darren

We are stuck with Virgin on WCML – rip-off rubbish, appalling service. BR was miles better.

Michael Lloyd, Wigan

Please re-unify national rail network and run it for the nation, not for private profit.

Ann B Bell, Liss

If British Railways had received subsidies equivalent to those now received by the Train Operating Companies, we would still have the finest railway system in the world.

Alan Tingle

Apart from anything else, it is allowing foreign companies to own our infrastructure which should not be allowed.

D Mackay, East Kilbride

Put railways back in the public domain.

Gordon Alcock, Stockton-on-Tees

Bring it back. Privatisation is killing off this country.

Jack Lindsay, Skegness

Hiking prices up is wrong and especially in view of the fiasco at Kings Cross Station this year. What a mess.

Anne Hayes, Chesterfield

Bring back British Rail.

Therese Jonason, Dartford

Too expensive and all too crowded.

Margaret White, Cheltenham

British Rail should never have been privatised. It should be run as a public service for the people not private profit, as should the energy companies.

Sarah Mason, Sittingbourne

The Tories run the East coast main line as LNER. Bring back BRITISH RAIL.

Colin Flowerday, Holt

We must save British Rail as part of an integrated and cohesive national transport system.

William Owen, York

Please re-nationalise the entire rail industry and bring it back to the people. Stop the profiteering.

Mark Williams, Poole

Nationalised rail certainly wasn’t perfect, but selling the family silver is far worse, especially when some of the best lines are those publicly owned now.

Richard York, Northampton

I applaud this campaign! I would like it to spread to local bus services.

Christopher Madden

Occasional rail user thoroughly hacked-off by rail company profiteering.

Paul Foden, Plymouth

Rail privatisation has obviously been a disaster for both passengers and staff.

Ben Watson, London

This country is too small and we must have British Rail.

Ray Freeman, Bradford

You only have to look at Europe to see why we must do this.

Niall O’Dwyer, Cardiff
