Corinne Deakin, BarnsleyThe price of public transport seems to go up all the time. The trains are a mess and are often late. What are we paying for?
Luke Dickens, ManchesterUK trains are over-priced, inefficient and well behind in technology.
Sue Macfadyen, HaddingtonWe need a rail service that is not at the mercy of profiteering companies.
Nigel Jones, LutonPlease bring back British Rail and ensure it is properly funded and not run-down to make it appear it is poorly managed and losing money.
Joanna Eckersley, LondonBring it back.
Nigel Dallison, AngleseyLet us all have our railways back in public ownership. A Labour government might help.
John Hubert, PencaderRailways work best as integrated networks. Unify our railways to spread prosperity and opportunity for all.
Lisa Pickering, PrestonWe need a decent rail system please.
Dan Burgess, BathA flourishing, resilient equitable society needs affordable public transport. My train fares are like a second mortgage., and the service is poor.
Trevor Castle, StevenageExtortion all for profits and no consideration for the customer.
Liam Tremayne-Reichsburg, DidcotRe-nationalise the railway network. Long term it will save the British taxpayer money and generate a return for the Treasury.
Anna Harrison-Melville, AshfordThe responsibility for our railways should be in one hand and accountable to the people.
Carwyn Davies, WrexhamBring back BR.
Penelope Ormerod, OxfordPlease bring back energy companies and, most importantly, the NHS into public ownership too.
John Traynier, CambridgeBring back British Rail.
Juliet Cusimano, HalifaxCome back.
Ben Dowsett, LondonI’m sick to death of disjointed railways.
Rolandt Tweehuysen, Kimswerd, NetherlandsThe British privatisation disaster has been copied in various European countries, also in the Netherlands.
Dean Cordwell, StockportI believe that such a compulsory national service should be run by the people and their representatives, not by businessmen for private profit.
Nicholas Hewes, SkiptonRe-unify our railway system so that it can once again serve everybody, rather than just boost the profits of the rich.
Angi Stokes, PortisheadTake a look at the French system where trains are clean and run on time.
Steve Roach, WorcesterHow hard is it to book a bike onto a train? Bring back ‘guard carriages’.
Linda Combi, YorkOf the many British institutions gradually being eroded by private ownership, an affordable and integrated rail system benefits us personally and environmentally.
Thomas Crute, Newton AycliffeMPs are corrupt to the core.
Karl McAreavey, GlasgowRe-nationalising the railways wouldn’t cost as much as it does now. The public should be made aware how much the Scottish/UK governments subsidise the railways already.
Joan Innes, HuddersfieldIt has not benefited passengers having numerous rail companies, nor is it ethical for these to be profit-making, even though I myself might benefit through my pension.
Peter Thompson, BristolPrivatisation was an absurd reversion to the 19th Century. Let’s get back to the 21st.
Chris Williams, BromleyPublic service needs to be resumed, not setting targets as a priority with trains running fast to their final destinations and passengers made to wait for the next service.
Robert Gordon, LondonThings can only get better if we bring it back. Fairer fares and no complicated deals.
Ethan Grant, BathEnd ridiculous train fares for students and everyone else.
