Adrian Martinez, EdinburghMcNulty said we are paying 40% more than we ought for privatised rail. No other EU country has privatised as fully as we have. UK has the most expensive fares in the EU.
Beth Moseley, NorwichBring back British Rail.
Shaun Lowthian, LiskeardAs soon as possible.
Anna Doughty, ConwyPlease bring back the unified system that made so much sense and ran a much better service.
Jeanette Lowe, SheffieldI want a modern, forward-thinking, streamlined national rail service which serves the public – not one which causes so much stress and confusion.
Liam Mills, PortsmouthPoor services and no pride in the private industry. Bring back BR.
Ben Burman, RadlettRe-nationalise the railways. Renew East Coast’s contract to continue running that service in the interests of the people of this country.
Martin Curtis, St IvesRe-nationalise now. Public ownership is the only way.
Jeremy Evans, BrightonI love nationalised trains.
Brian Reid, St. NeotsThe disconnect between infrastructure and operations and financial inefficiencies across the unnatural boundaries is plain daft.
Daphne Gilbert, StocksfieldThe only way to control prices is for profits for the railways themselves, not foreign shareholders.
Lois Bennett, DoncasterNationalise the railways and let us have affordable, efficient trains again.
Johnny Jangles, StainesSort it out.
Mike Devane, St NeotsAs an ex BR employee and First employee I think the railways should never have been privatised. They cost far less to run when they were BR.
Julian Wagstaff, EdinburghRail privatisation was madness in 1993 and remains madness in 2013. A massive public subsidy of private profit. Re-nationalisation is not just sensible, it is essential.
Charles Hemingway, BarnsleyBritish Rail should never have been stolen from us in the first place. Lousy Tories.
Paul Kerr, EdinburghTwo private companies have failed with East Coast, yet the government owned set-up returns a profit. East Coast proves the case for nationalisation.
Barry Marshall, SheffieldThe system was miles better under the old public British Rail. The franchise system in my opinion is just a shambles.
Robert Brook, DunstableThis makes sense.
M Spencer, LutterworthKeep British Rail as one.
Kay Hallam, TadleyThe trains are overcrowded, overpriced and cost the tax payer more than when nationalised. They used to be a bit scruffy but at least you got a seat.
Francois Calitz, PurfleetI’m sick and tired of paying through my nose for a pathetic and unreliable service on C2C. I’ve had enough.
Paul Reddy, WirralRe-nationalisation of railways is easier than other privatised industries because at expiration existing franchises can be transferred to Directly Operated Railways.
Damian Roberts, WrexhamBring back cheaper fares.
Frances McNeil, LeedsYou know it makes sense.
Jools Johnston-Elliott, FavershamBring back British Rail.
Gordon Carey, St AlbansTake it back into public ownership ASAP.
Anthony Turtle, HastingsWe need a rail service that provides service – not expecting a wheelchair user to push herself onto a platform up a slope.
Joshua Dessapt, LognesIn France, we are about to make the same mistake. The railway to the people.
Ray Smith, LutonAlthough 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.
