Passengers before profits.

Peter Greenwood, Darlington

Can I have my train set back please?

Marek Gabrysch, Newcastle

While you are at it stop the fat cats getting rich on our water as well.

Ron Virgo, Lancing

I’ve travelled by train in many European countries, and the UK’s rail service compares very badly. Having the dearest and poorest service in Europe is a national disgrace.

Fred Riley, Nottingham

MPs are corrupt to the core.

Thomas Crute, Newton Aycliffe

To stop greedy shareholders making money from the British public, and to make the trains cleaner, cheaper and on time.

Helen Cairney, London

Instead of HS2, why not reinstate quadruple track on West Coast mainline, or rebuild the Great Central line (continental loading gauge)?

David Kitson, Bradford

Bring British Rail back into public ownership, so we can have proper railway system again.

Michele Bateman, Wrexham

This would bring the country back together in a real way.

Jodie Payne, Pontefract

I hate ScotRail.

Matthew Dunn, Edinburgh

The Railway is for the people not the shareholders. It’s time to re-nationalise.

Douglas Oxer, Bolton

Rail, NHS, Mail. These are core social services and should not be run for profit. Directly Operated Rail has proved this will work.

Simon Pickles, Enfield

I would like to return to the consistent provision of rail travel by British Rail before it was privatised and fragmented.

Sandra Dowe, Milton Keynes

I have 24 years as a railway employee. I want us to be providing a service, not a business.

Eddie Saunders, Dover

We need to re-invest the £millions leaked to shareholders to keep service prices affordable.

Brendan McAlinden, Warrington

The fare prices for trains to and from my loved ones’ homes is completely unjust and simply a profiteering scheme that rips off the little guy. Disgusting.

Jack Coley, Bristol

The prices have become outrageous.

Lorena Shaw, Stirling

It is ludicrous that we have to pay for an over-expensive, inefficient railway system because of the political dogma of politicians.

Brian Mitchell, London

Thanks to all railway staff for their kindness and assistance.

Paul McLean, Leeds

The current rail structure is lunacy with no real competition anyway. I believe there are 23 companies responsible for different aspects of safety etc.

Kevin Webb, Accrington

What’s happened to British Rail – it used to be cheaper, easier and happier to let the train take the strain.

Amber Smithwhite, Paignton

Please let’s stop this franchise nonsense now and bring our railways back to the British people for the British people.

Gerry Langford, Wellingborough

End the crazy ticket price lottery and bring back direct trains from Shrewsbury to London.

Paul Baskeyfield, Church Stretton

Passengers shouldn’t have to pay more than ever for a system that’s getting *worse* than ever – that just doesn’t make any sense. Private railways aren’t working.

Charlie McIlwain, Roundhay, Leeds

Only the corporations that own the railways can now afford to buy their staff tickets to commute to work on the railways. Do please give us our railways back.

Marek Kazmierski, London

I’d like to nationalise everything. It works in Europe.

Wesley White

Why are we never consulted on major changes? I detest privatisation and will fight it as much as I am able.

Roger Andrew, New Milton

It’s nonsense that the railways should be run using the present model – it simply does not work. Re-nationalise now.

Jim West, Derby

The current success of the East Coast line is testament enough to how much this needs to happen.

Michael Henson, Pickering

Public ownership for public services.

Elliott Clark, Crawley
