Jack Smith, TotnesI want British Rail back.
Patricia Sever, BirminghamBritish Rail should never have been privatised and, if at all possible, should be re-nationalised
Jonathan Wise, DursleyCompare with any other railway in Europe, all state run and better.
Gillian Situnayake, BirminghamToo many prices.
Sue Stewart, Newcastle-upon-TyneWhen returning from mainland Europe by train, I am always embarrassed by the contrast, the high prices and tattiness of our un-nationalised railways compared to the SNCF.
Emma Park, EdinburghCurrently it is cheaper for me to drive any of the routes I take with only one passenger. Environmentally and economically disastrous. Less profit more provision.
Graham Askew, CambridgePrivate profit never serves people.
Angela Hathaway, StroudRobbed from the people by Conservatives.
John Kane, LeedsGet organisations which favour the travellers not big business.
Sean Sayer, LondonThe nationalisation of the rail industry is one of the most important means of improving the environment and social mobility, and towards reducing regional inequality.
David Line, LutonThe sooner the better.
Graham Thomas, Merthyr TydfilYes, bring back British rail, steel, coal, telecoms and gas, and stop the rich exploiting the poor.
Frankie Hewett, CanterburyPrivatisation has led to the awful destruction of our national resource of rail side forests and vital wildlife corridors, by the environment vandal Network Rail. Save our trees.
Andy Lyon, StotfoldEnd the profiteering and bring the core passenger operators back into public ownership.
David Whyte, LiverpoolLet’s bring back public ownership under a new model – employees, taxpayers and customers with real power to make decisions.
Frances Hooker, SheffieldTrains are transport for the future. Please fund adequately, increase numbers and connectivity for all.
Roger Bastin, YorkLet’s win East Coast to start with.
Damian Roberts, WrexhamBring back cheaper fares.
Kevin Slade, SaltfordOne country, one rail network, one railway operating company.
Aubrey Stafford, RetfordPlease keep up the pressure on these stupid politicians.
Julie Bedington, MalvernNationalise the railways. They should be run as a service not for greedy profit.
Ross Kirkland, EdinburghBritish Rail should be state-owned and not privately owned.
Sue Russell, BarnetVery soon our rolling stock and railways will be run by foreign countries. With the East Coast line the state has proved that it can operate at a profit.
Malcolm Young, GrimsbyBringing back British Rail is the sensible thing to do. Unfortunately this government does not do sensible.
Thomas Smith, CheshamHaving so many TOCs does not provide competition, but very complex and expensive fare structures. They should all be merged into a publicly owned company.
Roderick Neil Bruce, Fort WilliamAll public transport should be state-owned.
Peter Scott, RayleighAll essential services should he run by the state for the people and not for profit. The state ownership of Network Rail is a great first step.
Jennifer Blackburn, NelsonThe Current private companies, especially Northern Fail, are not remotely up to scratch.
David Ellershaw, High BenthamI’m sick of the cost of train tickets.
Andrew Byers, NewportIt should never have been sold in the first place.
