Hoping for a fairly priced and state-owned railway system.

Elaine Tavner, Holford

I am sick and tired of train fares rising at way above inflation, the poor standard of rolling stock and the delays that happen every day.

Judith Middleton, Leeds

Re-nationalise and reopen the railways that were taken away in the 60s.

Dominic George, Rhyl

People before profits and shareholders.

Dennis Pritchard, Glasgow

Why are we selling our services to other groups to make money out of us? Let’s invest in our own country.

Terence Cook, Barnsley

One organisation looking after the whole network for the benefit of the people.

Susan Garner, Peterborough

Privatisation has caused all costs across the board to rise beyond affordable.

Mia Carr, Glasgow

The rail system is a number of broken monopolies and not competitive. This is for the public good, it should be treated as such.

Tim Newman, Bristol

Public transport should be run not for profit but as a self sustaining affordable means of travel.

Mike Friend

The fares are too expensive.

Alex Clifford, Bristol

Put the railways back into public ownership to let the users share the ownership and put pride back into our railways.

Alan Webb, Milton Keynes

The railways in the UK need to be brought into the 21st century. We need paperless, at cost, reliable travel, not the confusing, expensive and inefficiency we now have.

Ellen Blakemore, Brighton

Let’s do this.

Rory Fraser, Inverness

Nationalise it.

James Saupin, Bournemouth

Our fragmented rail system does not work. Bring back a National Transport System.

Christine Ogilvie, Bexley

British Rail should come back and run our railways.

Adam Halls, Bath

End privatisation. Stop the greedy profiting from hard-pressed commuters on sub-standard services. Bring back British Rail.

H Moon, Brighton

People not profits.

Gary Haley, Pontefract

There must be a strict control over the cost of fares for rail travel. It is fast becoming unaffordable to ordinary working class people.

Dorothy Robinson, Irchester

Public transport should benefit the public, not a few shareholders.

Stephen Clibbens, Harrogate

I’ve had my fill of badly-run train services charging the earth.

Louise Lawrance, Shoreham-by-Sea

This Government should be sacked.

Frances Tham, London

We need a railway that is publicly owned and internationally integrated so we can get rid of the obstructive security rules for the Channel Tunnel.

Timothy Baldwin

How are you supposed to have a flourishing and prosperous civilization if you cannot get anywhere?

Elizabeth Cunningham, Norwich

I don’t drive at the moment and cycle/use the trains but the astronomically high fares mean I’m considering getting a car, which I would hate to do

Damon Cocker, Norwich

As someone who worked on the railway, what was once a reasonably good network

Tim Williams, Slough

The standard is embarrassingly low. It is unreliable and over-priced. Prices need to be controlled if we are to encourage a greener mentality. Private profit is unacceptable.

Dominic Hales, Wigan

The only way forward is an integrated rail system which is only possible with the re-nationalisation of the railways.

Chris Martin, Abberley

Take it out of the hands of profiteers.

John Perkins, London
