Enough of these foreign companies making money when it should be the UK who runs the trains and has no over-pricing monopoly on the train fares. BBBR. Enough crap.

Kieranne Page, London

Privatisation isn’t working. Just look at the state of our railways.

Martin Mansell, Stevenage

The rail companies just attempted to shaft me by increasing their price in the middle of a transaction and their pricing structure is arbitrary.

George Ashley, Sheffield

Profit for the people, not for the select few who hike the rates up.

Andrew Conway, Glasgow

It should never have been privatised. There is too much money wasted the way it’s run now.

Aaron Lee Gibson, Carlisle

With privatisation the national interest takes second place to profits and strategic planning is ineffectual. Bring back BR.

Ian Semple, Peterborough

Let us take it back. It and all the other state companies and the NHS do not belong to a sick bunch of half-wit profiteering politicos to sell off as they wish.

Michael Coleman, Redditch

It never should have been privatised.

Tim Hatcher, Chelmsford.

Connectivity, simple fare system, all better as British Rail, with profits ploughed back.

Philip Barlow, Nottingham

Most of us would support this decision. Privatising our railways was a very wrong thing to do.

Odette Gotobed, Milton Keynes

What a crap service.

Nicholas Green, Tollesbury

Get the rail network back on track.

James Ross, Addingham

We need a rail service that benefits its passengers. We need British Rail back.

Amanda Bouskill, Swinton

Why give the profits to management buy-out teams?

Mike Barnard, Retford

Profits over progress, these scumbags have to be stopped.

Stephen Hanna, Reading

Bring it back.

Edward Hughes, York

What is stolen from the people will be reclaimed by the people.

Franklin Percival, Shrewsbury

Bring it back.

Joel Andrews, Newport

Monopolistic privatisation doesn’t work. No investment, poor performance and profit grabbing results when you try to create a market that doesn’t exist.

Byron Pull, Colchester

Real fares for real people.

Noah Thompson, Harrogate

Social mobility has been devastated while profits are at record highs. Anybody would think it’s a plot.

Paddy Keeley, Brighton

Give it back.

John Neville, Brighton

I believe that such a compulsory national service should be run by the people and their representatives, not by businessmen for private profit.

Dean Cordwell, Stockport

British Rail should come back and run our railways.

Adam Halls, Bath

South East Trains is the most terribly formed transport company I have seen.

Jareth Turner, Margate

Now more than ever, we need a publicly-owned, properly integrated railway system that puts passengers and the environment first, rather than private profit.

Tom Watts, St Neots

Public ownership of public assets! The privatisers should be put on trial for theft.

Richard Oliver, Redruth

I enrich directors through my taxes and I also enrich them through my exorbitant fare, and the service gets worse and worse.

Phillip Pennington, London
