Brian RacherIn the present system driven by the obsessive need for profit, the needs of the passenger are not considered – they are only important as the source of revenue.
John Blamire, LivingstonThe sooner the railways are back in public hands the better.
John Dannell, DurhamI totally agree with all the comments. I’m sick of getting ripped off by privatised companies with late, packed, dirty trains.
Stephen Wearden, LancasterIt’s time to bring in 24hr manned and serviced stations too.
John Greig, EdinburghNationalise the rail network.
Marylyn Edwards, TonbridgeThe railways and all public transport should be for the people, not for profits.
Steve King, Royal Tunbridge WellsWe need to do something because soon Kent to Manchester will cost over
Jamie Spilsbury, MerseysidePrivatisation has taken its toll on the whole railway system in Britain, turning it into a complete mess, not to mention train fares going up year after year.
John Parr, FakenhamI rarely use rail travel because I find it chaotic and expensive. I wouldn’t mind that so much if it was good old British Railways muddling through.
Jacob Tyne, TorquayBringing back British Rail will allow for a better rail network providing better rolling stock, stations and fewer failures, lower fares and less crowding.
Steven Lockwood, DerbyPrivatisation of strategic services is an obvious mistake.

Tom Voute, PurleyPrivatising the railway system was a very expensive mistake, only done for ideological reasons.
Vivek Patel, LeicesterWe need cheaper public transport.
Karen Orosky, BedfordPrivatisation of so much in the UK is destroying this country.

Matt Wellings, WrexhamI’ve joined. Good on ya.
John White, CardiffYes.
Rob Jozefowski, ManchesterI’d love to join the cause. Nationalise now.
Sean Michael Fitzpatrick, RotherhamGive the amenities back to the people.
Thomas John Wheeler, DyfedCosts on the railways are out of control and the private operators are making artificial profits paid for by the taxpayer.
John Roe, YorkAn excellent and necessary campaign. The government should be responsible for the railways.
Anita O’Mahoney-Hamilton, HenlowI’m fed up with cancelled trains.
Kester Ratcliff, BristolLet all future public investment in trains and railways be a retained mutual equity stake, with a six month notice to exit, withdraw public shares and move on if not satisfied.
Raymond Lockwood, WakefieldRe-nationalise all TOCs.
John Sandford, HolmfirthDecrepit, unreliable, ancient, uncomfortable, inadequate seating, poor service, unaccountable to their customers, a disgrace.
