Joseph Hargreaves, TodmordenI would like the railway system to be run nationally to support train manufacturing and reduce private companies.
Liam Matthews, EssexAbsolutely shocking service from Greater Anglia, with trains always late and so, so over-priced. I can never get a seat.
Angela Constantinou, LondonBring back British Rail.
Michael Orme, Solihull BirminghamIt’s time to re-nationalise.
John Conway, EdinburghAs a regular user of East Coast, I know that a publicly-owned rail company can deliver value and service, without handing over profits into the hands of the few.
Erin Pepper, LiverpoolI’m sick of overpriced train fares. I think it’s disgusting that it is cheaper for people to go abroad than travelling round your own country.
Scott Moore, Walton-on-ThamesThe country needs this again. The railways are in an awful way. The current political class has an obsession with outsourcing. It doesn’t work. The state needs to intervene.
Tom Faulkner, EastbourneNothing but delays and strikes on Southern. But fares still keep rising. Privatisation is not helping passengers.
Alan Kerr, GlasgowSome rail fares here in Scotland are so expensive that two people could hire a car and drive for less. How can this help progress towards a low carbon future!
Harry Wise, LondonIt is cheaper and more efficient to maintain a nationalised railway. All the evidence says so.
Vivian Williams, Blaenau FfestiniogRe-nationalise all the utilities that Thatcher destroyed with her selfish aims.
Matt Simpson, Cradley HeathSomething needs to be done to make travel cheaper for everyone, in a time when people are having to travel more for work.
Denis Howe, LondonPassengers before profits.
Shirley Cameron, SheffieldTrains are too expensive and too crowded.
Michael Johnston, NorthamptonStop privatising as it doesn’t work.
Paul Jones, Worcester ParkTimes have changed. Publicly-run lines have proved successful and profitable. This is almost too obviously the way forward.
Rob Lucas, Ross-on-WyeThe time has come to undo much of the havoc wrought be the unlamented Margaret Thatcher.
Mike Shaw, EdinburghBBBR.
Mavis Childs, SwindonWe need to take British Rail back now. Privatisation has not worked and is costing the taxpayer and users far more.
Adam Hiley, Upminster, EssexIf Germany can run a great publicly-owned transport system then so can Britain.
Christina McKenna, LiverpoolBring back British Rail, lower prices and put the power in expert hands rather than politicians.
Steve Jackson, WellingPlease bring back British Rail and get rid of South Eastern Trains.
John Wilson, Berwick-upon-TweedEast Coast Mainline was a huge success after it failed as a private line. Keep it in public ownership and re-claim all the other lines when they come up for renewal.
Rob Clayton, DoncasterPrices have soared. Can people earning less than 15 grand a year actually afford the train for a day out or weekend away. No chance It’s too expensive.
Aaron Donaldson, Haywards Heath£5000 for a rail ticket that gets me in late every morning. No seat and I have to stand for an hour every day. Fares just keep going up. This can’t be right.
Alex Smith, BoltonThere has been chronic under-investment in the railways which has led to most tracks and stations being in a poor state. This combined with the lack of carriages is woeful.
David Turner, Market HarboroughRail network is far too important in a tiny, packed country like ours to be left in private hands.
Michael Kirk, Ockley, SurreyTake it back from those seeking to profit from our miserable journeys every day.
David Ward, LondonEnough is enough.
Ashutosh Pandey, GlastonburyBring back British Rail.
