Andrew Marriott, LoughboroughRail travel that people can afford, not lining pockets of the rich.
Anthony Kaye, BarnsleyPutting a public service in the hands of private companies who put profit before service is never a good idea.
Claire Goodwin, SouthseaBring back British Rail – it is proven to be more efficient – as the East Coast route.
Roy Lang, ManchesterRe-nationalise all trains.
Raymond Crois La, KampenWe want our railway back.
Judith Stockwell, KetteringGive the railways back to the people.
Nick Chincotta, EastbournePlease bring it back as service sucks on a daily basis.
Brian Hutton, DundeeCar culture is killing our planet.
Nicholas John, CardiffI would class China as a country with levels and standards below ours. Their rail service is amazing.
Graham Howard, LondonBritain’s passenger railway network should be re-nationalised and run for us, not for profiteers.
Ray Kempson, FleetwoodSwitzerland has the finest all-round transport system in the world. Trams, buses and rail, all publicly owned.
Michael Lloyd, WiganWe are stuck with Virgin on WCML – rip-off rubbish, appalling service. BR was miles better.
Rick Evans, ManchesterEnd the corruption and tax payer theft.
Steve Rhodes, DoncasterEven the USA’s train system is a publicly funded one.
William Paul, GuildfordCommon sense.
Rex Holt, BradfordI just totally agree with what you say.
Eilidh Sinclair, GlasgowLet’s do this – re-nationalisation of all public services.
Andrew Richmond, BoltonI work on the railways, just as I did under British Rail. It was a terrible day when Mr Major swung his privatisation axe and the scars are still there for all to see.
Jennifer Brazil, Great MissendenIt cost me £110 for an advance return train ticket from Yorkshire to Great Missenden but £120 for a return plane ticket to Berlin. Ridiculous.
Michael O’Brien, ManchesterIt’s funny we subsidise European rail through the foreign companies running our railway system. We also give them tax payers’ money.
Gillian Morgan, DoncasterRail transport and its infrastructure should be nationally-owned and run in a cost-effective way, not making profit for shareholders.
Gordon McMillan, HuntingdonIt’s disgraceful that when the government does get hold of a franchise – i.e. East Coast, they can’t wait to float it despite making a profit on it.
Rob Jewitt, AlnwickPrivatised rail is a costly failure. Publicly-owned East Coast shows it can be done better. End franchising and bring rail back into public hands.
Alan Myler, IrelandTransport infrastructure for the public good, not for private profit.
Joe Bishop, ReadingWe just want a radical policy from the Labour party. We don’t want to have a choice of the same 3 policies come election time.
Abigail Cooper, East CowesUnified and not for profit. It can’t get better than that.
Sandy Draper, SheffieldKeep going.
Sarah Kay, LondonThe Post Office too while you’re at it.
Noah Law, LostwithielIf we can run a service not for the profit of a few but for the good of the people then why not? The train operating companies are not genuinely competitive anyway.
Sebastian Hall, LondonOur train network is vastly inferior to that of any other major European country, and is an embarrassment.
