Louise Ashby, BristolPlease bring it back for fair fares.
Neil Roberts, DewsburyLet’s make sure Jeremy Corbyn has the power to do this.
Pete Boor, PenzanceRailways should be state-owned and a not-for-profit industry.
Lorentz Bloom, LeedsRather than making the service more expensive and worse, make service better and cheaper. The only agenda of the company should be cheap and fair travel.
Hector, CheshirePrivatisation was brought about by men for whom the continuous accumulation of money is the single focus of their existence as human beings.
Trevor Larsen, Kingston upon HullOne of many bad decisions by Mrs Thatcher and followers. They basically sold off the family silver to their friends and backers at rock bottom prices. Only their friends benefited.
Carole Green, YorkEast Coast is an example of how much better it is not to have the railway privatised. The further advantage there used to be of one unified system would be welcome.
George Walker, BarrheadNationalisation without compensation.
Caitlin Mcleod, LondonKeep on.
Konnie Lloyd, NottinghamThe East Coast line has demonstrated how a well run line can satisfy its customers and put its profits into the Exchequer. What more do you want?
Neil Sheehan, MerseysideWe need a railway system to be proud of, which can once again become the envy of the world!
Jennifer Gray, BristolThe only way that the railway works is to re-nationalise it. Put passengers before profit.
Simon Postgate, Herne BayIt’s cheaper to travel by car, which is absurd.
Polly Pagan, LondonIt’s time to return what was stolen from us.
Sally Weston, WarehamBring back our railway.
Sophie White, RayleighGreater Anglia are the most over-priced, unreliable, and uncomfortable service I have ever experienced.
Andrew Appleyard, OldhamAll public transport networks and systems should be run as not-for-profit, and all should either be re-nationalised or re-regulated whichever it is under.
Tom Freshwater, WallingfordIt just makes sense.
Francesca Bray, EdinburghAll public transport should be publicly owned. our railways should be a national resource.
Alex Holness, ErithBring back British Rail, a real railway service that worked.
James Johnson, DoverPublic ownership is the only way forward. If it is not clear now, it never will be. The industry should never have been privatised.
Daniel Zlupko, ManchesterLate trains, no seats, constant and unjustified price increases since privatisation.
Daniel Nesbitt, CramlingtonRail privatisation is an expensive failure that has cost lives and left us with a system that privatises profit and nationalises risk and cost.
Anna Scheer, Melbourne, AustraliaBritish Rail was a functioning service. The new system is hopeless and unreliable.
Mary Pearson, BirminghamI’m president of Birmingham Trades Union Council. All public transport should be in public hands. People before profit.
Steven Peacock, ChelmsfordBefore our national rail system becomes exclusively only for the rich and famous, re-nationalise it for affordable travel for everyone.
Steve Pearson, Newcastle-upon-TyneNot a single privatised, former public sector entity has proved to be a success in anything other than financially benefiting itself at the cost of its customers.
Meg Gain, Stratford-upon-AvonA confusing plethora of train companies and fares which does little for the customer.
Kevin Wilson, LeedsPrivatisation of the railways has been a disaster for rail users with rising fares and the lack of investment that was promised.
Mike Nevill, WorthingLet’s have a railway service that serves stakeholders not shareholders.
