Ian Smith, LeedsThe rail industry needs to be run safely for all and not for profit by the few.
Paul Rhodes, DewsburyBritish Rail was better.
John Strachan, CuparI think its great that such a campaign is in action, for a great cause – to make a more accessible and fairly priced railway service for all.
Gary Bevan, DoncasterWhy does it cost £376 return to Devon on a train when it doesn’t cost that for a return flight to Spain
Veronique Chance, LondonWith you all the way!
James Wilson, HucknallTo all politicians, forget the party line and do something for the people, Re- nationalise the railways.
Philip Corbould, RugbyI do not drive, I use public transport all the time. It most definitely should be run not-for-profit. It’s a service, not a money-grabbing opportunity, or at least it should be.
Helen Evison, HarrogateEast Coast rail, state-owned, more efficient than private rail companies, also given taxpayers’ money and costs more.
Lisa Green, SwanseaBring back British Rail.
Claire Fitch, St AlbansThe railway should go back to being nationalised. We didn’t have the problems we have today and the pricing was better and you didn’t get ripped off by the train companies.
Mark Hyne, LiskeardSpeaks for itself
Kadam Hussain, LeedsEast Coast mainline is profitable. Apply this template to the other companies and re-nationalise. Nothing wrong with a profitable state-owned system.
Jake Church, MontroseThe rail system used and abused for profit by private companies with profit to their pals the only goal.
Eva Schovneld, EdinburghRe-nationalise now.
Hugh Terry, ReadingI would scrap HS2 in favour of a high-speed north-south freight line running along the course of the Great Central and reopen vital link and branch lines cut by Beeching.
J T, HoveIf any of the main parties had the balls to sow up re-election this is all they’d have to do.
Antoine Sud, WimbledonIt sounded like a good idea in theory 30 years ago, but politicians need to admit it has failed in practice.
Michael Harvey, East GrinsteadPrivate companies never have the service at the top of priorities. It’s profits that rule. The divide grows.
Curtis Free, LondonHow can trains being run for profit by private companies be of benefit to anyone? Bring it in line with Transport for London and make it a public body.
David Frost, Sunderland.I believe that all public transport, electricity, gas, and water should be re-nationalised for the benefit of the consumers.
Kathy Barnes, DurhamThis idea needs as much support as possible.
Peter Bailey, CambridgeSucking profit out of transport has left it disorganised, expensive and fragmented.
Valerie Coote, SalisburyThe service is so fragmented now, with everyone having their own little budget areas, that it’s no wonder that the investment in the railway itself is minimal.
Sandra Hurst, SuttonThe private companies are only interested in profit, not the customer. Stop all subsidies and contracts to them and bring back British Rail.
Simon Joseph Evans, Bishop AucklandWhat a great big mistake privatising the railway. It’s another money making opportunity.
Steven EvansThe line I use was run by Network South East in the early 90s, which was a brilliant service, then rubbish Connex took over and now South Eastern Trains.
Rebecca Devitt, SouthamptonRe-nationalise the railways and stop creaming off a profit for people wealthy enough not to need it.
Roy Banks, FeatherstoneMy trains are currently late, noisy, rickety, too cold, too hot, invisible, cramped, unsafe, overcrowded, dirty, unmanned, smelly, expensive and old.
Eira Short, RochdaleWe want our public transport service back. We still pay for it in taxes.
Ann Partington, GatesheadCompare how well the nationalised East Coast rail network is doing compared to the privately-run operators.
