Stewart Bramman, DoncasterThe railways are farcical. Stop this fragmented system and bring back common sense.
Rosie Hucklesby, ColchesterAs someone who’s travelled on the East Anglia services for a long time, every franchise we’ve ever had has failed. Time to re-nationalise.
Adam Stratton, WinchesterI’m embarrassed that the country that invented the railway now needs to live up to the far better nationalised railways of other countries.
Michael Cryer, AberfeldyIn many cases the train fare is more than the cost of fuel for the same journey in the car.
Michael Perkins, WatfordThe idiotic private sector train companies need to go and be replaced with British Rail. Keep the private sector out of public services.
Mary Cameron, LeedsI hope we are successful.
Jonathan Fox, Espinho, PortugalI am not a regular user of UK trains but there can be no doubt that in terms of price, cleanliness and punctuality, things are much worse than before privatisation.
John Conley, RosythCrap service from the mainline companies except from East Coast. I wonder why.
Jo Hobson, SheffieldToo expensive on the trains. Bring back British Rail.
Barbara Penny, HarrogateOur rail fares are the highest in Europe.
Simon Mayhall, LeedsNationalisation of the railways has always been an essential part of society. I am pessimistic in the extreme in these days of everything being privatised.
Jimmy Ferguson, KilbirnieBring back BR please.
Lindis Percy, HarrogateOh please, let’s hope this happens.
Scott Fury, GlasgowNot just loss of jobs and a really poor, expensive disaster. Privatisation has killed people on our trains through lack of investment in safety. Lovely Tories.
Robin Draper, WalsallIf we want environmentally friendly transport, we need the railway, electrified and redeveloped.
John Suckling, DurhamPublic ownership is the only way of ensuring a reliable, modern, affordable and accessible rail network. East Coast Trains should be seen as an example.
Jim C C Jones, Thessaloniki, GreeceIt was wonderful in the past and a nightmare these last years when we use the rail.
Jon McCarthyThis is a marvellous and absolutely necessary campaign.
David Thornewell, AylesfordI agree the present system is overcomplicated and needs reform. But to put down a marker, I still want ticket offices at major stations.
Steve Wood, SandwichTransport for the people.
Sue Smith, CullomptonThe railways, water, gas, electricity and every other public service that has been privatised should be brought back.
James Howells, LondonIt’s the worst railway service in the World and a system that exists solely to rip off commuters. The end of this botched system can’t come soon enough.
Keith Graham, East BoldonRepeat East Coast success across the nation.
Paul Burgess, CaerphillyStrategic transport planning has given way to a farcical face-saving exercise. Rivals competing on the same tracks will never work.
Michael Branney, LeicesterSadly, the current disjointed rail organisation and ticketing is a national embarrassment.
Malcolm Whitmore, LoughboroughRail policy needs to be determined by the collective interest of the country not the short term gain of shareholders.
Patricia Wood, WashingtonEast Coast rail made a profit in public hands, a loss in private.
Robert Duff, FalkirkThe railways belong to the people, not shareholder money-rapists.
Robert Wells, LeicesterGive back to the people.
Robert McDonald, BrightonInstead of being at the office today, I am at home, because the trains have let me down again. Expensive, awful, very slow, getting worse.
