No comment needed. It’s obvious this needs to happen.

Benji Clifford, Bexhill-on-Sea

I hate how the UK’s train network is falling to bits.

Nik Devlin, London

I have not used the train more than 4 times since it was de-nationalised.

M Lovious, Liverpool

If a national rail works in France, Spain, Italy and Germany, then why not here? Re-instate British Rail.

Jacinta Appleby, London

Privatisation has made the country poorer. Only big businesses like Virgin are gaining.

David Cross, Hull

Re-nationalise all our industrial infrastructure and don’t sell them to foreign companies.

Eric Smith, Ludgershall

The UK must be one of the few countries in the world with a privatised rail service. A National Rail service would benefit all

Simon Bampton, Hove

We are paying for it anyway so let’s have it back.

Mark Westendorp, Lyme Regis

I think that privatisation was a stupid idea, There is basically no competition on the railways and so the core argument for privatisation is invalid.

Sami Richards, Liverpool

Although not a commuter, I travel on the line into London all the time. I have a Network card and put it to good use but it’s become increasingly less fun to go into London.

Ray Smith, Luton

I couldn’t agree more. Re-nationalise the railways now.

Mark Bailey, Sheffield

Paying almost £9 every day to go to college is simply ridiculous.

Dom Sellars, Ely

Transport to benefit the country should be run for public benefit, not profit. A unified system makes sense.

Moira Garland, Leeds

All strategic industries must be in state ownership.

Sohail Zafar, London

A totally integrated system makes much more sense.

Lindsay McDougall, Cramlington

Privatisation has been a farce. The sooner British Rail is re-nationalised the better for all.

David Hamilton, Southampton

Services for people, not profits. No super railway – upgrade the existing one.

John Taylor, Ilkeston

Ticket prices have ballooned since privatisation, as every player in the rail industry whacks up the profit margins.

Aaron M, East Sussex

We need a publicly-owned transport system or living in rural areas will become impossible for anyone without a car.

Brenda James, Llanelli

We need affordable fares and clean trains.

Clare Honey, Norwich

Why must they all privatise the profits and nationalise the losses?

Evin Ryan

Bring back British Rail.

Richard Smith, Eastleigh

As a frequent weekend traveller to Derby, I am sorry to say that it is now cheaper for me to drive around London and then on the M1 to Derby rather than travel by train.

Nicola Brown, London

It’s a no-brainer.

Philip Mead, London

Not only nationalise rail, but add water, gas, electricity and telephones. Tax-payers set these up and should hold on to profits and invest in renewables..

Alison Winstone, Leicester

The train service should be more integrated and more affordable, if they want people to use public transport.

Caitlin Burns, Leamington Spa

Privatisation of our British services is a vile crime against the people of this country. Re-nationalise and run the railways as not-for-profit, to serve us all fairly.

David Dow, Atherstone

Utilities should belong to the people.

Lee Dalton, Weymouth

it is crazy that our rail prices subsidise cheap rail in other countries who own shares in our rail. The Tories hate the people clearly if they think this makes sense.

Tina McCloskey, London
