I’m sick of the cost of train tickets.

David Ellershaw, High Bentham

With train fares being as high as they are, it’s unlikely I’ll be able to see my college friends over the holidays – £22 from Southwick to Eastbourne.

Joe Corr, Shoreham-by-Sea

Nationalise all the transport and utilities in Britain.

Andrew Dean, Liverpool

I joined British Rail as a Clerk in 1983, and was subsequently, as a Manager, put on the scrap heap in 2013, after 30 loyal years’ service. We need a unified public service.

Ken Langley, Sliema, Malta

So many of us pay so much to line the pockets of so few.

Alan Cook, Norwich

It will never happen unfortunately. Why are 90% of our passenger operating companies owned and run by other European companies?

Steve Auty, Machynlleth

Enough of the corrupt Tories ripping us all off. The railway should never have been privatised in the first place. Greedy profiteers..

Nick Jackson, Harrow Weald

Give us what we want.

Ellen Pearce, Plymouth

It is economic and social madness to continue with a privatised railway system in a modern society.

Bill Lawrence, Mexborough

I am tired of a service that is late, dirty and where I pay almost £100 a month to stand in the aisles.

Rhys Brooks, Newport

Private means profit. Railways should be run for the people not profit.

Connor Nightingale , Huddersfield

East Coast worked.

Kieran O’Dea, Boston

The current rail system simply doesn’t work. Children have to pay just to travel to school. Adults are forced to accept ridiculous and rising fares.

Ed Dolman, London

British Rail publicly owned would be operating in the interests of the stakeholders.

Hilary Parnell, Rickmansworth

Let’s put this public service into the hands of people who have to listen to the public they serve rather than the enemies of public service.

David Fellows, Brighton

Listen to the public. This has gone on for long enough.

Andy Moore, Penzance

The National Rail tagline “Britain’s train companies working together” is quite laughable and out of touch with the railway as it is today.

Darren

The way things are going with privatisation, there will be no safety left on the railways, with all the job cuts, disasters waiting to happen. I work for them.

Ray Tidd, Southend

Bring back British Rail. Now With Investment and reopening closed lines.

Josh Welby, London

All public transport should be publicly owned. our railways should be a national resource.

Francesca Bray, Edinburgh

Bringing back British Rail can put an end to the mass confusion on the railways by having to go from one company’s train service to another’s.

Nicholas Ham, Newquay

Bring back British Rail.

Keith Chambers, Southport

I’m 100% in favour of re-nationalisation of all public transport.

Shaun Featherstone, Cardiff

Privatisation has meant massive increased expense to taxpayers and has also pushed up the cost of tickets.

Alastair Baily

Not before time.

Margaret Rumble, Oakham

Driving is so backward. People zooming around at 90mph in metal boxes at a cost to the planet. Trains for the future, blow privatisation.

Tom Nicholls, London

I’d like to see an affordable service that works. Right now it is a poor service and greatly overpriced.

Justin Sargeant, Cambridge

Nothing owned by the state should be allowed to be sold off unless a general referendum is held for each of the sales.

Peter Stratton, Cardiff

Stop taking away things that have made Britain great.

David Hills, Worthing

British Rail was better than being privatised.

Yvonne Clark, Orpington
