Sue Richmond, SheffieldI just love our trains, so save them.
Andrew Lynch, OrpingtonIntuitively I support private enterprise – but it only works where genuine competition exists, and that is clearly not the case with rail, where there is no alternative.
Brian Morgan, LutterworthIt’s time to reclaim the train.
Jenny Reeves, FavershamMake public transport a public concern once more. Tickets are not profit slips for fat cats.
Thomas Davis, LondonI believe the new rail ticket design is confusing for all and unfair for people with sight problems. The design needs to revert back to the old one.
Angela Barker, WiganThe railways should be run for the benefit of the community and not to make profit for shareholders and pay huge salaries to the directors.
Keith Kennils, Newcastle-upon-TyneEast Coast is making a profit under state ownership. Keep it that way. Stop the rip-off price rigging of train tickets.
Claire Wilkinson, BedaleThe current rail service is not good for taxpayers or consumers and was a poor decision made by government.
Mark Murphy, LondonIt’s time to admit that rail privatisation is fundamentally flawed.
Stewart Bramman, DoncasterThe railways are farcical. Stop this fragmented system and bring back common sense.
Jack Sayers Shaw, BournemouthThe railway is a public method of transport, fascination and convenience. I believe private companies should have no say in how our railways are run.
Margaret Crisp, EdinburghThey should never have been sold off to greedy private companies who have ripped off the travelling public ever since.
Judith Joy, SkiptonPrivatisation only works for the owners and their shareholders. Return to BR now.
Jim Ennis, WallaseyI think public transport is too important to be run by profiteers.
Keith Elliott, StokesleyPrivatisation has failed both the passenger and our Country – all in the name of political dogma. The East Coast line is a symbol of this.
Brian Hammond, EssexJust see sense and bring it back along with London Transport buses and tubes.
Anthony Warwick-Ching, LondonBring back a responsibly run, properly integrated public railway system (track and rolling stock) to the country that invented it!
Caryl Hughes, StockportBring back the utility companies into public ownership too.
Stephen NaylorAfter once again seeing train fares rise, and consistently poor, unreliable service, we can’t take it any more. We can barely afford getting to work or eat in the same month.
Rick Evans, ManchesterEnd the corruption and tax payer theft.
Fiona Forbes, KirkcaldyThey should be taken back from the thieves who stole it, as should Royal Mail.
Ian Young, MusselburghThe railway system is now totally disjointed and run for the benefit of the rich. It’s a national asset and should not be in the hands of private business or foreigners.
John Tait, HarrowStop the Business Critical Rules programme.
Roger Gowers, TelfordTrack, rolling stock, time-tabling, maintenance planning, financing all run by one organisation working for the same purpose. What’s wrong with the common sense of that?
Lewis Gregory, ChelmsfordNationalise.
John Marskman, ManchesterBring back British Rail. Privatisation isn’t working.
Helene Roberts, CardiffPublic transport should be affordable and not based on profit.
Margaret Powell, LondonThey should never have been sold off.
Diane Wilson, HydeDefinitely bring back British Rail and soon before it’s all sold. It belongs to the people.
Phillip Crosby, LondonHaving been a regular user of train services, I have seen no improvement and yet year on year price rises that far exceed salary rises. It’s a racket and it needs to stop
