Martina Lednicka, GravesendI commute every day and the service is awful. I’m delayed on a nearly daily basis but because the delays are for less than 30 minutes it means I’m not entitled to compensation.
Roy England, WatfordWhy should profits be given to the fat cats when the profits could and should be ploughed back into the industry?
Hannah Bloom, LeedsThe publicly owned East Coast railway is making money for the country. Let them all do that.
Dave Bennett, HorshamPassengers are being put in danger on a daily basis by the severe overcrowding. If this goes on, there is a very real risk to health and safety.
Paul Macgee, LondonI wholeheartedly support this campaign.
Mary Humphreys, ElyLet’s have more railway stations in places that are now removed from the rail network, yet are major market towns. Reverse Beeching.
Keith Brown, SevenoaksFair fares for all under government control.
Penny Thornton, StorringtonBring back a national rail service for the people and not for private profit.
Ula Taylor-Reilly, PortsmouthAffordable travel is a necessity in terms of practicality and quality of life. As a student, despite my costly 16-25 railcard, I find train fares crippling and limiting.
Peter McQueen, CreweBring it back into public ownership.
Richard Norris, HullFor too long the profits of these private companies have been fed back into the pockets of shareholders at the expense of the British public.
Mal Kempsell, LiverpoolSNCF in France seems to work well as does DB in Germany. From home to university in Kent I go through five different companies which are never in sync.
David Rundle, CroydonBritish Rail was an organisation that provided satisfaction by trains running on time, clean and always providing service with a smile on the faces of staff.
Steve Summers, Henley-on-ThamesIt’s shocking that what should be a public service for us all now simply lines foreigners’ pockets. A national disgrace.
Ian Grainger, LondonRe-nationalise our railways to ensure a publicly run and accountable service. It’s time to end the fares rip off.
Mark Waterer, AshfordRailways were privatised so why is the government spending £50bn to build a new line only to hand it over to a private operator for the benefit of a few people?
Heather Cartwright, SouthwellRailways should never have been privatised.
Kevin Webb, SelbyThe railways should be run for the people not for profit.
Anthony Wrinch, RedhillSouthern Rail are a disgrace. Shame on the Government for letting this farce continue so long.
Glenn Parker, MansfieldThe sooner, the better. I’m sick of hearing telephone figures for nationwide train fares.
Daniel Adesen, LondonNationalise the railways again. The service is terrible.
Chris Ritchie, IpstonesFor all its faults British Rail was still 10 times better than the current services.
Paul Andrews, LondonIt is time to stop this nonsense of private companies making profits from public subsidy and ripping off the travelling public.
David Smith, StourbridgeAs a regular West Coast traveller I am consistently frustrated by increases in rail fares.
Adrian Cross, BlackburnI agree that British Rail should be re-nationalised.
Jacob Tong, LondonAbsolute Economic Sense
Ben McCullough, ThatchamThe public funds wasted in private companies is outrageous and could be spent on a public functional railway.
Alex Bailey, Craven ArmsPublic transport must serve the interests of the public.
Camilla Boon, ChalfordThe rail system is a national asset, and far too important to be in private hands.
Tracey AllenThey should never have been de-nationalised. It was nationalised because it didn’t work as a mish-mash of companies.
