The services we get are not worth the money we invest.

Marrissa Nelson, Erith

Let’s end this 20 years of transport exploitation and disjointed thinking.

David Bradford, Gateshead

Privatisation is not the solution. Better investment is.

Lesley Hall, Westbury

Re-nationalise and start repairing the damage caused by the fragmentation of the industry into a thousand pieces.

Edmund Connell, Dover

Railways in countries many times the size of Britain, considered to be ‘developing’, are unified and run primarily to serve the public, People before profit, please.

Wilson Smeaton, Wooler

Trains for the people, not for profit.

John Marriott, Harlow

The privatisation experiment has failed. Rail transport is an integrated service essential to the economy and needs public ownership.

Tessa Gordziejko, Hebden Bridge

Bring it back.

William Hedges, Thatcham

It should never have been privatised in the first place.

Frederic Bayer, Bexhill-on-Sea

The railway is a service, not a business. It enables business, so should be viewed as a means to an end, not run as the end itself.

Andrew Mclean-Reid, Sherfield

That Tory bodged-up privatisation was absolutely diabolical and wrong.

Alan Hird, Basingstoke

We must continue to fight the fight for what’s fair and bring back British Rail!

Ellie Harrison, Glasgow

Should never have been privatised.

Ann Davis, Birmingham

Bring back British Rail.

John Traynier, Cambridge

Rail fares are way too expensive compared to our European counterparts. We need to do something about this.

Linyu Foo, London

Over-priced fares are killing the country.

Lawrence Roberts, Winchester

Stop selling everything; it’s not the only answer.

Mike Hindle, Exeter

Stop sending our money off-shore.

Michael Perre, Beaumaris

Bring back British Rail and keep the profits here.

Dan Harrison, Tynemouth

I’d even welcome the BR sandwich.

Ann Pluck, Bridport

Bring back BR.

Jayne Dillon, Manchester

Incomprehensible why foreign state-owned railways can be allowed to run UK rail franchises. System totally discredited. Bring back British Rail.

Ronald Nicolson, Kilmacolm

Bring back British Rail. We are demanding a re-unified national rail network, run for people not profit, as it was meant to be in the first place.

Geoff Mills, Wakefield

Let’s show some courage and invest in public transport.

Christopher White, Bristol

Privatisation hasn’t worked. Let’s have it all joined-up again.

Carol Byng, Ludlow

A railway network to be proud of.

David Marsh, Derby

Thank goodness someone took this initiative.

Francis Terry, Wellingborough

Regular peak time cancellations, short formations leading to dangerous overcrowding, increased fares. It’s totally unacceptable!

Julie Gossage, High Wycombe

Rail is an essential part of the national infrastructure.

Kathy Fletcher, Coventry

We used to have an easy to understand railway system with a sensible ticketing structure.

John Wilson, Cambridgeshire
