Susan Ernest, LondonI love to travel on trains but I don’t want my money to go to private owners. Trains are a basic human necessity.
Danielle Southcote, LeedsI want a public transport service that works for the benefit of the public users, not private owners.
Laken Walker, HerefordIt was better when British Railways ran the system. The liveries and prices were great. The government should listen to the people and not the franchisees.
Dennis Hart, ManchesterUn-privatise is the only way forward from this mess.
Alun Llewelyn, LondonOur taxes are used to keep the shareholders happy.
Neil Ainsby, IckletonPassengers not profit.
Rob Jozefowski, ManchesterI’d love to join the cause. Nationalise now.
Francis Kelly, WallsendTaxpayers should not be subsidising the profit gained by the City of London.
David McCormack, HinckleyPrivatisation brings too many fat cast and fewer jobs.
Susan Turner, YorkThe present system needs to change.
Robin Allen, WellingboroughPlease keep the rail network in public, not private, hands.
David Green, St AlbansAn integrated and unified rail service is the sensible solution to put the railways back on the right track.
Elizabeth Holt, DurhamI am sick of my taxes and fares being used to profit private companies and their shareholders.
Tom Halpin, AberystwythThis alleged privatisation has been costing British tax-payers far too much and provided nothing for us. Seize the so-called rail companies’ assets and re-nationalise.
Guy Taylor, LondonI’ve had enough of train companies using “it’s a different company” as an excuse for appalling service and penalty fares. BBBR!
Jean Squires, CongletonThe system is too confusing at the moment.
Lisa Gillott, WalesBritish Rail was a national institution. It should be brought back. If the people want it they should get it, and Parliament should do what we want.
Jennifer Wyatt, SomersetIt took one man to destroy our railways. How many will it take to bring them back?
Laura Strathearn, SheffieldRe-nationalisation of BR is of paramount and urgent importance for the improvement and cohesion of a patchy and unsatisfactory system.
Tim Brewin, Ross-on-WyePrivatisation was one of the most short-sighted policies ever embarked on by a Government of any colour. Undo the damage now, and rationalise British Railways.
Dave Ayres, Milton KeynesComment not needed – The problems are obvious without even looking.
Dave Thompson, PottonI like rail travel but, as a pensioner, can’t afford to use it often. Re-nationalising should bring costs down.
Adrian Hemstalk, BrightonThe railway network should be run by the state for the benefit of the people, not for private profit.
Andrew West, ChathamOur railways are the most expensive and the most unreliable in Europe.
Catherine Crosby, BuxtonPrices are ridiculous and the service would just work better if it was run as a whole.
Alex LancasterIt’s time to stop subsidising fares in France, Germany, Holland, Japan and others with our franchises and start running a system that works for Britain.
Alan Holmes, StaffordPeople need freedom to move.
Nick Chincotta, EastbournePlease bring it back as service sucks on a daily basis.
Peter Hethershaw, SheffieldPrivatised BR – one big transfer of taxpayers’ money into private hands.
Christine Clements, TruroWest Country transport at risk. We need railways.
