If we re-nationalise the train service then maybe the price of a ticket will reflect the service.

Yasmin Osborn, Sheffield

We’ve been taken for a ride far too long.

Ron Ellis, Weston-super-Mare

Railway workers and users together to fight for our interests.

Steve Revins, Birmingham

I might have to find a new job if the trains don’t improve.

Katy Makepeace-Gray, London

It would be a damn sight more reliable in giving a better service instead of lining someone’s pocket.

Roger Semmens, Penzance

East Coast trains – nationalised and making a profit – need we say more?

David Ventress, Alsager

This mugging of commuters must stop. Bring back British Rail. It was never yours to sell. It’s ours and we want it back.

Gerry Curran, Beverley

I’m fed up with Northern Rail shoddy carriages.

Dave Shepherdson, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

The system is confusing and fragmented and expensive. Let us have a rail system that the UK can be proud of.

Ruth Chamberlain, Thirsk

Money is being wasted paying dividends to shareholders rather than being invested in the infrastructure.

Michael Church, Dewsbury

We are all in this together. BBBR.

John Hughes, Wirral

Dedicate real investment for serious mass transit projects that realise the full benefits of existing rail alignments.

Krystal Garnett, Merseyside

Let’s go back to the time when we knew what we were going to pay for a trip well in advance and the service was reliable.

Cynthia Roushorn, York

Bring back British Rail, run by the people for the people at a profit for the people not private business.

Derek Wagstaff, Plymouth

This is an essential service, and our tickets and subsidies should not be used to line CEOs pockets.

Amy Lisle, Nottingham

These train companies claim they cannot run trains (or buses) without subsidy, yet are still able to post massive profits each year.

Brian Racher

The East Coast service shows that public ownership works best for passengers and for government.

Dave du Feu, Linlithgow

They should never have been privatised.

Dave Oldfield, Brighton

We should have a national police force, a national railway (BR) and a National Health Service. National for the nation.

David McGinlay, Bury

All the privatised utility and transport industries must be brought back into public ownership – particularly the NHS.

Lee Rowles, Holywell

Inflation-busting fare increases year on year with nothing to show must stop. We are lining the pockets of shareholders with no net gain to ourselves.

Matthew Allen, Portsmouth

If it ain’t broke don’t mend it.

Sarah Linton, Rochester

I support a nationalised rail network.

Peter Such, Canterbury

Run for profit with massive subsidies, not for the customer, with no come-back? How does competition work on the same lines with the same trains?

Charles Anderson, Walton-on-the-Naze

I started using BR in the 1970s, along with National Bus Company buses. I see nothing wrong with state-owned transport and I support this campaign. I must get the T-shirt.

Adrian Willats, Waterlooville

Let’s make a start by opposing the re-privatisation of East Coast and getting Miliband and co to support accordingly.

Jim Gavine, Dundee

Rail travel is a human necessity and should be made accessible to all in availability, price and quality.

Susan Scarth, Edinburgh

Since privatisation the prices of rail fares have increased well beyond inflation with no justification.

Richard Walker, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
