Social ownership, run by the people for the people now.

Roy Cogo, Sutton

Renationalise now.

Adam Powell, Leatherhead

I would like to see BR re-nationalised.

David Reed, Peterborough

It’s completely obvious that railway privatisation is a failure. The only train journey I have enjoyed was on an East Coast train, when it was run by the government.

Clare Annand, Dunstable

Being an ex BR employee I would dearly love to be that proud person who says I work for BR again. It was a great organisation and like a second family to me.

Rachel Pollard, Watford

Nationalised services for the common good should be preferred over shareholder profit for the privileged few.

Chris Tucker, Bristol

I love trains, but I hate what has become of our rail network. It’s called public transport. The clue is in the name…

John Sadgrove, Bristol

Bring Back BR.

Ethan Humble, Whitby

Enough is enough. We want a decent and well run train system, run for the benefit and comfort of passengers, not to make huge profits for greedy companies.

Shelagh Dobson, Cambridge

The UK needs a public unified rail service for public transport.

Jon Rust, Holmfirth

Re-nationalise the current rail system.

Jonathan Goode, Caterham

All privatisation results in the government subsidising private profit and ripping off the consumer.

James Franks, Stoke Gifford

The entire nation could have cheap, reliable transport if run properly.

John Simons, Southampton

I depend on this train for my daily commute and it is an absolute disaster!

Fouad Saad, London

Why do we have services that are owned by other countries’ national rail companies?

Robert Hawes, Faversham

I’d love to use trains more but, almost every time I do, I’m staggered by the inefficiency and outrageous cost of the service. It needs to change.

Gregg Burnell, Chesterfield

Deliver good and affordable service so that everyone could benefit.

Irina Ozerkina, London

The sooner the better it’s back to British Rail – the better for all of us.

Stephen Jarvis, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Reduce fares and stop taxpayers and passengers lining the pockets of the owners of train operating companies.

Ewart Fitzgerald, Sittingbourne

We are fed up with paying high rise prices for these greedy rail bosses. The trains never get you on time. Bring back British Rail.

Barry Gallego, Rochester

Please nationalise the railways. Privatisation has not worked. I want our railways back in public ownership and accountable to the taxpayer.

Lynn Cotton, Durham

The railways could be de-privatised at no cost to the taxpayer: just do not renew the franchises. The taxpayer will then make a profit.

Ann Round, Penzance

The current system just isn’t working – except for shareholders.

Terry Stockman, Sidcup

The railways are a complete joke. We need action as soon as possible. Worst railway in the world. How much more money can you bleed from the public pockets?

Nicky Edwards, St Albans

Bring our services back to public ownership.

Brenda Grunwell, Ipswich

For the past months my morning Southern train to Victoria was never on time and you couldn’t get on it as it was way overcrowded. This is unfair. What do I pay for?

Rafael Kowalczyk, London

Rail privatisation has only benefited the TOC’s and their shareholders. No more political ideology. Bring back British Rail and a unified, efficiently-run railway.

David Stockham, Bristol

The private rail companies are getting more subsidy than BR ever received. They get compensated when things go wrong. They cannot lose. Time to renationalise.

Stephen Atkins, Edinburgh

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

Re-nationalise it for the people, put the profits back into paying decent wages and re-generation of the system, not lining the fat cats’ pockets.

Kim Saunders, Southend-on-Sea
