Wishing you huge success.

Elaine Hanson, Huddersfield

My other half works for a subcontractor for Network Rail and is mistreated and unhappy with how they are treated both in and out of work.

Carrie Machin, Stoke-on-Trent

East Coast is making money and they want to sell it off. It may finish up in foreign hands with our money going abroad, We need a joined-up railway system.

Douglas Arnold, Washington

Bring back British Rail – all is forgiven.

Mike Smith, Newcastle upon Tyne

Please re-nationalise our railways, as the privatisation of them is not working. We do not have to make a profit as it all goes into the pockets of the wealthy shareholders.

Vanessa Rambridge, Preston

Good work everyone. Bring about change with peaceful non-compliance.

Jed Nejzer, Leeds

It ran better in public hands

Lee Fisher, Middlesbrough

Thatcher left us with a nice legacy.

John Cutts, Worksop

Being able to travel is a human right not a commodity to buy and sell.

Judith James, Cardiff

Put an end to all this privatisation. It’s the ordinary British person’s tax that built our once great railways – hence British Rail. Since privatisation just a mess.

Michael Newton, Doncaster

We need politicians to act on people’s real concerns about privatisation. Bring the trains back to national ownership.

Emanuel Owino, Leeds

Privatisation is nothing more than a licence to spend taxpayers’ money on greedy shareholders.

George McCart, Cheltenham

I can’t afford days out with my children on the train any more. They’re late, there’s not enough staff and never enough seats. Profits should benefit the country not shareholders.

Marianne Gaskell, Wirral

I fully support this 100%.

Matthew Browne, Cardiff

Nationalise the railways again. The service is terrible.

Daniel Adesen, London

Let’s make British Rail the great asset it could be for our country, rather than the current hotchpotch of incompetence.

Helen Kara, Uttoxeter

Fed up of waiting for trains.

Tomos Jones, Ruthin

Bring back British Rail and end big profits for the worst service.

George Bryant, Redhill

It’s about re-nationalised British Rail. Run transport services for the people who use them, not the directors.

Chris Hoy, Leeds

I need an easy-to-use rail system where I can be confident that the ticket I buy will let me on any train going to my chosen destination.

Richard Apperley, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

East Coast Line is the model railway outfit for all UK rail.

Paul White, Huddersfield

As a ex-driver on the railways in this country, it’s a shambles how it’s run and how the companies make so much profit off government bailouts.

Benjamin Joseph, Rosslare

I used to be able to board a train at Oxenholme and go through to Totnes or Penzance. Now I have to haul my luggage off at Birmingham New St. and change. I hate this.

Gillian Kelly, Ambleside

It would be better off re-nationalised. More efficient, more homogenous and any profits going back to the Treasury.

Ian Buckley, Watford

Privatisation has only put profits first. They are mismanaging and not considering passenger needs and safety issues.

Liaqat Ali, Slough

Excellent campaign.

Mair Jones, Denbigh

Affordable travel is a necessity in terms of practicality and quality of life. As a student, despite my costly 16-25 railcard, I find train fares crippling and limiting.

Ula Taylor-Reilly, Portsmouth

Where I live the rail network is primitive, i.e. diesel trains every half an hour between Leeds and York.

Mark Campey, Harrogate

Just bring back BR. It was so much nicer and easier to deal with and, being state-owned, you knew where you were.

Peter Van-Stratten, Cardiff

We need a vertically integrated railway run by railwaymen and not by bean counters or civil servants.

Richard Cox, Birmingham
