Noel Grummitt, IlfracombePeople before profits.
Peter Morgan, Barrow-in-FurnessReally, fares need to be cheaper.
Trevor Turner, MiddlesbroughBring back our once-thriving Great British Railways. This is what our great nation is good at. After all we were the pioneers of the finest rail network in the world.
George Odlum, LondonRail enthusiast from London. Bring back British Rail.
Mark Kingston, RingmerAnd while you are at it, bring back the rail link between Brighton and Tunbridge Wells.
Ian Crombie, BasingstokeBring back BR.
Jon Carthy, NottinghamshirePublic transport should not be run for profit.
Douglas Oxer, BoltonThe Railway is for the people not the shareholders. It’s time to re-nationalise.
Patrick Hanmer, NottinghamTravelling on Continental railways frequently, I am ashamed of the complexity of our ticketing systems here; they’re nonsense and exploitative.
Callum Winfield, IlkestonI am sick of all these foreign businesses abusing the system to milk us of all our hard-earned money. It has to stop being about profit. Make British rail British.
Robbie Faulds, SeahamStop putting taxpayers’ money into rich shareholders pockets. East Coast shows publicly-owned railways work. Re-nationalise now.
Riaz Meer, IlkleyA unified not-for-profit railway is the best way to fund and plan long term strategy, and ensure that the training and skills of the workforce are maintained sufficiently.
Eirin Julie Ingebrigtsvoll, LondonFor the people, not private profit.
John Roe, YorkAll other European countries, including Switzerland, run a national railway. Our railways, which run only for private profit, are a disgrace.
Ian Donnelly, PrestonNobody did it better than BR.
Derek Gardner, PeterboroughTransport should be for the benefit of the public – not for private profit.
Nora Ramage, GlasgowIt’s too important to be run for private profit.
Alexis Parrinder-Nicholls, LondonTrain prices are a robbery, and the increases just don’t stop. Hugely unaffordable, an hour on the train should cost an hour of minimum wage.
Dennid Leary, LiverpoolI have believed for many years that British Rail should be brought back. I’m sure a lot of Conservative voters must now agree that it was a big mistake to privatise.
David Cottrell, Newcastle-upon-TyneEast Coast shows what can be done but is hampered by not owning the track. Let’s get it all back under public ownership and have a properly co-ordinated system.
Christine Oakhill, St AlbansEnd the farce and bring back common sense with a system that works for its customers.
Phil Vaughan, PlymouthPrivatisation has had its day. It’s time for it to be run for the public not for shareholders. The cost of tickets is ridiculous. and confusing.
Denise Elliott, North ShieldsThere are some things which should never be in private hands. Indeed it is difficult to think of anything which can be entrusted to the private sector.
John Fryatt, Northampton.Public transport like railways should be a basic infrastructure thing, not a profit opportunity.
Adrian J Andrews, WorthingI’m currently enduring largely inflated prices and constant improvement work which disrupts the service.
Nicholas Burman-Vince, LondonAn efficient and affordable train service is vital for the economic well-being of the country.
Ross Manning, DoverBring back British Rail. Much more reliable.
Lloyd Walters, LondonWe should never again allow those Tory vultures to sell off our national heritage to enrich their privileged colleagues.
