British Rail was always top dog, better that this modern day system.

Louis Hurst, Leicester

It’s just getting ridiculous.

Otto Linden, Lydney

Having to take a 4 hour coach from London to visit my parents 120 miles away because the train is so expensive! In fact, the train can often be five times pricier.

James Hetherington, London

Abellio Greater Anglia has the worst possible customer service ever experienced.

James Cullen, Wickford

A public service is for the public – not for profit.

Tina Wilson, Newton Abbot

Wonderful to see this happening. Bring back British Rail (although with better time-keeping and better sandwiches.) All power to this campaign.

Rob Hopkins, Totnes, Devon.

The present railway system is an grossly over-charged and poorly staffed system that only puts profits before people. Re-nationalisation now.

Kevin O’Connor, London

There are no motorways or dual carriageways in our county and the railways are vital. Invest and reinstate the rail link from South Wales to Mid and North Wales.

Rhys Thwaites-Jones, Aberystwyth

Public transport should be run in the interests of the people who use it, not private companies who want to profit from it.

Simon Reynell, Sheffield

Not just rail – all utilities too.

Martyn Lynch, Harrogate

Getting it back on track.

Nick Athorne, Colchester

For getting to work on time, reducing road deaths, and avoiding climate collapse, we need a nationalised rail network.

David Cross, London

I’d like to nationalise everything. It works in Europe.

Wesley White

Privatisation is not progress!

Ellie Harrison, Glasgow

Enough is enough. Nationally crucial infrastructure such as water, rail etc. must not be fed to the wolves of private capital. We, the English people, demand better!

Mark Kochan, Littlehampton

As a former revenue protection officer, I strongly support this campaign as I’ve seen the impact of privatisation first hand and it has destroyed staff morale.

Robin Watkins, Sudbury

Taxpayers subsidise the private rail companies so that shareholders can have dividends.

Charlie Werner, Sandford

Take it out of the hands of profiteers.

John Perkins, London

The monopoly the train companies have over the lines we have no choice but to use is disgraceful and should not be tolerated

Kyle Amps, Birmingham

Tickets are ludicrously over-priced. So many people use their cars instead of travelling by train because it’s so expensive.

Paul Collins, Bristol

It’s nonsense that the railways should be run using the present model – it simply does not work. Re-nationalise now.

Jim West, Derby

We had one of the greatest railway networks in the world and it’s been broken up purely for private profit. It’s time to put it back together again.

Murray Sackwild, Ware

This is just one of the assets stolen from the people by John Major’s government. The railway should be returned in good condition after all that subsidy.

Michael Attard, Newton Abbot

Time to end this ridiculously wasteful and expensive experiment.

Andy McDougall, Hitchin

I’m still astonished that we sleep-walked into so many privatisations.

Vince Clooney, Tiverton

What gives this Coalition the right to sell off the Royal Mail against the wishes of the British people? I’m more than unconvinced. Stop this now.

Thomas Burke, Oldham

I might be an American, but British Rail was truly an era of perfection for the railway network of the United Kingdom. It’s for the best to re-unify into British Rail.

Jay Avery, Brattleboro, Vermont, USA

Bring back British Rail.

Mary Ireson, Isle of Mull
