Lisa Morley, MargateI want value for money: £4,000 a year and no seat.
Matt Campbell, LeedsThe state-owned SNCF in France is fast, efficient, affordable and reliable. Pull your finger out Britain and copy this world class model.
Joseph Maser-Clarke, BrightonObviously an automatic monopoly can’t be a private industry, honestly.
Mark Parker, ThatchamTicket price variations are too confusing and expensive
Sylvia Coles, NottinghamAll essential services should be nationalised. That’s rail, water, energy, post office, and schools under local authority control.
Bernard Kennedy, BristolCommon sense and expert railway knowledge have ceded to a misguided dysfunctional railway system that other countries view with disbelief.
John Farrar, Stoke-on-TrentPeople deserve a safe, reliable rail service that is affordable.
Michael Taylor, LeicesterAnd then the bus services, and then gas and electricity.
Duncan Crighton, DundeeState profits, not individual profiteers.
Scott Macdonald, EdinburghA service and a public good for people, not profit.
Bill Pearson, LondonRe-nationalise the railways and the utilities. Prosecute the spivs!
William Howells, Great MissendenSince Deutsche Bahn took over Chiltern Railways, it has fallen from the best operators to one of the worst. The whole system is collapsing. We need re-nationalisation now.
Denise Smith, ExeterWe have an absolute mess now.
Bree Allen, HarrogateThe state of National Rail is absolutely appalling.
Harry Curtis, NottinghamI certainly think that the railways should be taken back into public ownership.
Tom McLeod, St AlbansBBBR.
Pip Banham, NorwichTake it back and don’t waste millions on making the London to Birmingham run quicker. It is not needed.
Mike Evans, LeominsterPrivatisation rejected by Margaret Thatcher. But John Major pushed it through – with the most ridiculous structure anyone could have devised.
Cathy Scoffield, Barnstaplewe need consistent investment not rely on run down stock.uk railways are a joke compared with Europeans.
Chris Simo, ManchesterBring it back pronto.
Diane Berry, WithernseaPlease bring back British Rail and reinstate some of the old lines to reconnect the country.
David Mullin, PrestonRun for the benefit if the people not a few shareholders.
Simon Harris, MansfieldThey should never have been privatised. It is costing the taxpayer far too much and fares are unacceptably high. We are at the mercy of privateers.
Ian Stainthorp, LeylandRe-nationalise. The current service is by no means reflected by the price we pay.
Rob Jozefowski, ManchesterI’d love to join the cause. Nationalise now.
Noordad Aziz, Great HarwoodThe franchising system doesn’t work and needs to be nationalised.
William Hedges, ThatchamBring it back.
Martyn Mitchell, WellingtonI’m fed up with the fees we have to pay to get around a country this small! £50(with railcard) for a London return! The profit that the private companies make is scandalous!
Richard Grant, Long EatonWith a better pricing strategy we can open the arteries to the cities and towns, moving the work force better and reducing the carbon footprint.
Shirley Clough, BlackpoolBring back British Rail to save our railways.
