Paul Nelson, ChorleyStop the greed and give us back our transport.
Craig Smith, AmsterdamIt’s clear now that vital national infrastructure is not for the hands of the private market.
Alison Rodgers, RotherhamWe spent one and a half hours on a cold (we could see breath), wet (water dripping onto seats and swimming over the floor), and late train on Sunday.
Alastair Gill, BrandestonIt’s high time we put an end to profiteering and put the passenger first again.
Rosalind Hussey, StamfordOur railways have grown more and more expensive and less and less available for the general public.
Conal DunnThere’s a fat chance of this happening under the current regime, and with UKIP popular too.
Alan McVitty, Welwyn Garden CityBring back BR now for everyone’s sake.
Dean Anderson , MersthamCheaper fares in the long run.
Patrick Fenlon, ChesterThey neglected repairs to make massive profits and then put the prices up. Most people stopped using them because of the price. Lower prices get more customers.
Mark Morgan, PetersfieldThere should be subsidised or free rail travel for the unemployed and those on low incomes. I can’t even afford to go to London for a day to see the free museums.
Gary Mitchell, BournemouthFor vital utilities de-nationalisation simply doesn’t make sense.
Peter Guy, TyldesleyBritish Rail should be given back to the people and run as a public service and not for greedy fat cat bosses and shareholders.
Mary Ion, BromleyWe pay extortionate prices to stand like cattle. It makes no sense for a railway to be run for private profit.
Nicole Hopson, BraintreePlease come back. The privatised Abellio is appallingly bad and exceptionally overpriced.
Jonathan Futrell, PadstowTake profit out of the equation and we will have a British Rail that works and of which the nation can be proud.
Alex Marshall, BridgendPrivatising the railways has been a disaster that’s cost the British public dear and put lots of much needed dosh into the hands of profiteers.
David Bacon, SheffieldBringing British Rail back into the public domain is a no brainer. A state owned system would cost less and profits would go to the nation.
Ellen Blakemore, BrightonThe railways in the UK need to be brought into the 21st century. We need paperless, at cost, reliable travel, not the confusing, expensive and inefficiency we now have.
Krystal Garnett, MerseysideDedicate real investment for serious mass transit projects that realise the full benefits of existing rail alignments.
Alison Cox, YorkIt’s a mess – expensive, poor service with rail profits going abroad.
Brian White, DoncasterBring back value for money and a reliable service of yesterday and stop the profit making short cuts of today.
Helene Roberts, CardiffPublic transport should be affordable and not based on profit.
Angus Wall, BrightonSurely we all want to see British Rail back?
Karen Donnelly, BradfordThey should never have been privatised. It’s been a disaster from the first. It’s about time service, maintenance and customers were put first.
David Meagher, Bognor RegisFor a comprehensive rail system which is not for private profit.
Annie Thompson, PortsmouthStop the theft.
Colin Duncan, PaisleyRail services in the UK are too disjointed due to privatisation. They are long overdue for reform.
Peter Denny, LowestoftAll rail transport needs to be owned by the public and the power companies as well.
Laura Rogers, BristolWe can only move forward with prioritising joined-up low-carbon travel for the benefit of our society and the world if our railways are also joined-up – and planned to be.
George Horobin, PenshurstThe railway is currently a disgrace. I missed a job interview today due to the current incompetence of the service.
