David Messent, HoveTake control of our dysfunctional rail network and make it whole again.
Gareth Hodgins, South GlamorganTaxpayers subsidising profits for shareholders? Disgrace!
Bill PorterWith fewer staffed ticket offices the travelling public will get worse customer service and no help getting the best deals from an ever confusing array of tickets.
Nicholas Bennett, SouthamptonIt’s time to end privatised Britain and return to the ideology and practicalities that once made this country great.
Alicia Hudson, CreweI am not legally allowed to drive. A journey that would be 40 minutes by car, takes me more than two hours by train.
Marie Nash, HarrowWe need affordable, reliable rail transport. Privatisation has not given us that.
William Tyler, Hebden BridgeThis is next to an outrage.
Thomas Mugridge, LoughboroughThe present system does not put passengers first, only shareholders’ profits.
Julian Bentley, NottinghamOur rail system is dysfunctional and does not work for its passengers – you most clearly see this when you use a train anywhere in Europe.
Sue Mantle, BorehamwoodOur country is in such a financial mess partly due to privatisation of all services, where profit comes before giving a good service. We need to stop this now.
Gemma Evans, CaerphillyPower to the people. Down with privatisation.
Donald Hutchison, PenzanceBring back the big blue trains.
Steve O’Connor, CambridgePrivatisation of essential services has proved to be costly to the public purse. Without unions in control, nationalisation would be far better.
Jack Holden, BarnsleyThey should never have been privatised in the first place.
Samuel Cook, LeedsFares are too big. Bring back British Rail.
James Greenhalgh, HuddersfieldGood luck to the campaign.
Steve Hardy, RhylBring back nationalisation to reduce fares and generate more revenue for the Country.
Rochelle Fry, LondonYes please.
Riaz Meer, IlkleyA unified not-for-profit railway is the best way to fund and plan long term strategy, and ensure that the training and skills of the workforce are maintained sufficiently.
Clive Marshall, YorkWe grumbled when British Rail was in charge but its faults were miniscule compared to the shambles we have had since 1995.
Joan Wyatt, LeedsWe should be able to afford to travel by train. Railways should belong to us. Any money they make should be invested in their running, not given as dividends.
Liam McCombe, BarnsleyMy commute daily costs me £20 and it takes me only 14 minutes.
Susan Carter, HeptonstallAs a disabled passenger on benefits, it is too expensive and too difficult to travel by train. Give us back our rail system, run it for people not for private profit.
Samuel Vickers, BarnsleyBritish Rail – better service, better value, better values.
Sheena McKerrell, KeighleyLet’s invest the profits from our rail fares in improving our railways and not let them go abroad.
Andrew Macpherson, GlasgowNeed to get our finger out. Going to need lots of electric railways in 20 years’ time when the oil runs out.
Betty Hollingsworth, YorkFrom the outset this de-nationalisation was doomed. Its sole purpose was to force a change for purely political reasons, and has not resulted in a better service so far.
Alan Williams, Saltburn-by-the-SeaMoney can be made, so make it for the taxpayer.
Jason Clements, HarrogatePrivatisation has not shown itself to be good value for money and the different franchises don’t provide a ‘joined-up’ service.
