Rob Hague, DerbyRun the railways as a service like the roads, not a cash cow like banking.
Anne Debens, CheshuntIt should never have been privatised.
Craig Smith, AmsterdamIt’s clear now that vital national infrastructure is not for the hands of the private market.
Gareth Davies, SwanseaBring back British Rail. Stop corruption and greed in the privatised sector.
Lesley Typhair, LondonWe need an integrated national rail system, with profits going back into infrastructure, not shareholders’ pockets.
John Longstaff, KnaresboroughThis always was the most stupid of the privatisations and if Christian Wolmar thinks it ought to be re-unified, that’s good enough for me.
Ian Kendall, LedburyIt worked well before and you could travel by different routes without hassle. An efficiently-run BR would knock what we have now into a cocked hat.
Jordan Walker, DarwenBring back a rail company that actually cares for its passengers and employees.
Max Burton, ManchesterJust look at East Coast. We in the North could do with a bit of that.
Stuart Jones, LincolnEast Coast has worked fine under public ownership recently. Why change it?
Marshall Dean, KeithScotRail and their subsequent operators are a joke. They use every opportunity to blame Network Rail for failures.
Rebecca Handley, LondonI’m sick of private profit before passengers or employees.
Thom Morecroft, LiverpoolThere is no logical argument for the privatisation of the railways.
Christine Cowin, LondonLet’s hope someone in power is actually listening.
John Dawes, ExeterWaiting between trains is too long, when trains are cancelled they just leave you at the station. Train fares are too steep in price.
Kathleen Russell, WetherbyRail fares are too expensive. Trains don’t run on time. It’s overdue for a change.
Mehmet Ozturk, LondonTired of paying triple fees for peak hours for the same service. Only bosses get rich and the quality of journeys gets worse.
Simon Morris, Potters BarAs a commuter I’m sick and tired of being robbed blind every January. Plough the profits back into the service, not shareholders’ pockets.
Maria Ali, ManchesterHelp more people commute and get to work cheaply.
Lyn Mackfall, DoncasterBritish Rail – the clue is in the name. Network Rail and the private rail companies should be under one organisation.
Barrie Anderson, WareI’m sure a re-nationalised railway would be better value for the taxpayer. Cut out all the overpaid lawyers writing unnecessary contracts between too many businesses.
Diane Cox, PenzanceSo good to know there is a movement to do this.
Richard Jones, St HelensBring back BR. Run the trains for the people.
Russell Alexander, ManchesterI cannot believe that the current rail service is still allowed to operate such a substandard service. I travel to work on TransPennine and Northern Rail.
David Thomson, LevenAnd open the Leven to Thornton line.
Andrew Remedios, BrightonNo more subsidies to fat cat franchise owners. We need a public transport system fit for public use.
Jason Copland, St Leonards-on-SeaSt Leonard’s-on-Sea.
John Hindhaugh, GatesheadIt is so financially obvious (which is very important to this government) that further comment really is not needed. Wake up Labour Party. We all hacked off on this one.
Lisa Green, SwanseaBring back British Rail.
Ian Bailey, DarlingtonStop the rot. Bring it back.
