Jodie Morris, WatfordI can’t afford to get home from university most of the time.
Andrew Lambkin, MalvernThe current state of the UK’s privatised rail systems exposes the gruesome lie that privatised everything is more efficient and delivers a better service. Re-nationalise.
Kevin Johnson, NorwichWe need a service controlled by the people for the people.
Jason Kalidas, LondonI am more than sick of this madly priced rail system. I travel in Europe by train often and the fares are reasonable.
Elaine Hanson, HuddersfieldWishing you huge success.
Bruce Asbestos, NottinghamFair railway ticket prices are the path to a zero carbon country!
Maddy Whitby, Stow-on-the-WoldI’ve caught the Cotswold Line trains for six years and I cannot recall a time when I could call them consistent or reliable.
William Sun, LondonI hate franchises.
Oszeromolago Babalouista, LondonI like the BR logo. I want to see it more. I want the conductors back. It will be better organised and cheaper.
Andy Upton, ColdinghamBR was far from perfect, but should have been fixed, not replaced. It is obvious that removing money to pay lawyers and dividends is just a waste.
Ian Malcolm-Walker, PooleWe need a single publicly owned railway not only on its own merit but to end the use of fossil fuels both directly and in electricity generation for our trains.
Christopher O’Hara, GlasgowBring it back, as all the profit is going out of the industry and into the back pockets of the share holders.
Mark Williams, Alderley EdgeIt should never have been privatised.
James WoodmanWe all agree that the present form of disjointed, inefficient ‘rip-off railways’ cannot be sustained.
Alan Carson, PrudhoeThe first mistake was the Beeching axe. This destroyed the infrastructure which made the re-routing of trains relatively simple.
David Reilly, FarnhamAnd steam too.
Stuart Daw, Newcastle-under-LymeWhat a way to run a railway!
Kevin Higgins , ElyWe need a coordinated rail system and cheaper fares.
Anthony John Adamson, Stanleystop the fares rip-off. Give us back our railways.
Eric Hill, SheffieldWe have enough pigs with their snouts in the troughs. Keep this line for the people.
Steve Ferguson, HuntlyThe government bought the railways before. Make them do it again.
Michael Fitzgibbons, BarnsleyI’m ex-railway footplate staff.
Kerry Hindmarch, SheffieldBring back British Rail. People and service over profit.
Oliver Leonard, JohnstoneScotRail are a joke.
Peter Sains, Bishop AucklandWhose Railways? Ours. Give back our railways.
Victoria Maclean, Telford21st century and our transport system is a shambles. There’s a lesson here – if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Definitely don’t sell it.
Nicholas Bradley, ExeterStop the rip-off prices. It’s the most expensive public transport in the EU.
Janine Walker, FarnboroughI worked for the railways between 1991 and 1998. As soon as BR was disbanded in 1994 I saw things get worse for passengers and employees alike.
David Eldridge, WallingfordI’ve had enough of this privatised rail charade, costing taxpayers more and more. East Coast Direct Rail is the right approach. Re-open strategic lines, e.g. Oxford-Cambridge.
Ben Hargaden, LiverpoolNationalise everything.
