Bring back British Rail, a real railway service that worked.

Alex Holness, Erith

Railways should be a service for the people and not a cash cow for the wealthy. It should be run by the people for the people.

Paul O’Kell, York

C2c has ruined our line. Privatisation has been a disaster. It should not be about profits, it should be about service.

Karen Edwards, Benfleet

It’s time to restart investing in a necessary public transport infrastructure that isn’t led by profits and shareholders.

Georgina Watson, Croydon

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

Ian Buckley, Watford

Due to the high numbers of delays and cancellations, TransPennine should be stripped of its franchise. In fact, the entire railways should be re-nationalised.

Jack Parkinson, Malton

Privatisation is a disaster. A simple and fair fare-structure and user-friendly service (remember that word?) would make travel better for everyone, including tourists.

Sally Finesilver, Oxford

Nationalised East Coast line shows what can be done.

William Burgess, Rotherham

Keep up the good work.

Cecil Sowden, Gateshead

East Coast mainline now in public ownership is a success. Anything which turns back the iniquitous tide of privatisation is to be strongly supported.

Helen Sills,

Why have we given it all away to foreign companies?

James Connor, Cumbernauld

Bring back British Rail.

Lynda Holt, Warwick

Wonderful campaign. I love my badge!

Elisabeth Winkler

Take the railways out of the private sector and put them back in the hands of the people, so it can be run in their interests and not the interests of greedy shareholders.

Martin Dixey, Wolverhampton

This campaign needs to show the press and politicians that re-nationalisation still has mass support.

Rafy Hay, London

Bring back British Rail.

Pauline Hacker, Preston.

Fond memories of the days of British Rail. Bring them back.

Steve Alton, Haywards Heath

Joined-up thinking, not piecemeal profit centres.

Brian Shepherd, Leeds

Let’s reclaim at least one of our national bodies from big business and foreign investors.

Iva Ellis, Chesterfield

Between some places in the UK it is cheaper to board a flight than catch a train. This is wrong.

Luke Smith

I work shifts and I’m fed up with sparse trains outside 9-5. I work in TV. Would you like it if I stopped your favourite programme because I had to get the last train?

Matt Kingsnorth, Chelmsford

I live in Morley and the service here is a joke. I was waiting almost two hours for the “half-hourly” train service into Leeds recently!

Colin Seddon, Leeds

14 hours stuck on a train ruined my Christmas.

Colin Nichols, London

An efficient Rail network should be provided as a nationalised industry, not through a privatised mechanism, with profit at the expense of the fare-paying public.

Ian Nutbrown, York

I’m fully supportive, but not much time.

Pamela Morris, Leeds

Why should we rely on limited special offers to get rail travel at a reasonable rate?

George Prior, Portsmouth

The rail infrastructure of this country should never have been allowed to fall into private hands.

Mike Yorke, Morpeth

There’s no reason why it can’t be done. Just don’t re-franchise when the current ones come to an end. But government is in hoc to international capital and Brussels.

Trevor Burr, Birmingham

Bring back British Rail has my support.

David Moore, Banbury
