Keven Matthews, HalsteadOne railway is all we need.
Tom Evans, DoncasterTime for all strategic industries to be run for all the people without profits going to the few.
Ross Wright, KirriemuirIt can’t be any more expensive than it already is.
Iain Cameron, South TynesideStart by not re-privatising East Coast which makes a profit.
Liam Gibbons, BradfordThey said privatisation would make fares cheaper and improve the commuter experience. We were lied to.
Debra Norgate, DewsburyBring back British Rail.
Sandra Reardon, MontgomeryWe want a public rail service that functions to serve passengers, not shareholders.
Thomas Glenn, Newcastle-upon-TyneSomething has to be done to sort out the mess of our railways. My train was late by 6 minutes and the connection was allowed to go because it was another company.
Stephanie Thomas, LondonBring back British Rail.
Joyce Murray, BlythTo have a division between different train operating companies and the running of the track seems ridiculous.
Steve Pearson, Newcastle-upon-TyneNot a single privatised, former public sector entity has proved to be a success in anything other than financially benefiting itself at the cost of its customers.
Charlotte Oram, LondonRoyal Mail showed that a publicly owned business could be turned around to make a profit. It can be done with rail. Don’t let either go or stay private.

Niamh Mulvey, LondonI sign because of daily misery caused by Southeastern railway.
Mike Brotherton, BrightonRail travel for people, not shareholders.
Zach Lines, St AlbansIt shouldn’t be cheaper to fly domestically over rail travel.
Scott Moore, Walton-on-ThamesThe country needs this again. The railways are in an awful way. The current political class has an obsession with outsourcing. It doesn’t work. The state needs to intervene.
Nicola Blackwell, LewesIt does exactly what it says on the tin.
Lee Garratt, BraunstonPeople before profits!
Linnea Rowlatt, Conyer, KentPublic services, such as transport, health, or education, ought to be operated by servants of the public – not private companies.
John Carr, LiskeardIt’s good that we are the safest railway in the world. Let’s bring some money to increase the number of trains and prices that are affordable to passengers.
Mavis Orwin, ChesterfieldBring back our system.
Ali Ali, LondonBring back public railways.
Jude Davies, GranthamThere are few jobs in my home town which is only one hour from London by rail. However, few can take up jobs in London because of the exorbitant rail fares.
Chris Calo, Harleston, NorfolkYes, re-nationalise it now.
Norman Dodd, Newcastle-upon-TyneEast Coast line is profitable. Why change?
Matthew Fazey, MiddlewichPrivatisation has been a disaster for passengers, railway workers, track maintenance and safety – and for the tax payer.
Ryan Curtis, BristolBring back British Rail.
Fahmid ChowdhuryWhat more to say? The current system is ridiculous.
Roy Whittles, HuddersfieldWhy should we pay subsidies to these companies in order that they can make a profit?
