Joan Norton, WoodbridgeThere is a great need and desire to return railways to public ownership more than ever.
Brian Sowerby, HuddersfieldEast Coast line has been a success since put back in government control. Don’t throw that away now.
Robert Chinnery, GraysBring back British Rail and stop the rip-off of the extremely high fares we are forced to pay.
Joe Seager, SuttonStrip the unions. Just let them work and if they don’t like it then they obviously need a career change.
Lochlann Hughes, NewtownabbeyI desire for the railways of Great Britain to be de-privatised so that they are efficient, cheap and reliable, in turn helping commuters and the environment.
Daniel Bell, SaltashPublic transport should be public infrastructure not for profit.
Karen Roberts, WilmslowI think it would be better to have a cohesive system with a more standardised level of service and quality and straight-forward pricing.
Jamie Thomas, DurhamPrivatisation has failed passengers. The taxpayer is still funding the railway. We should own it.
Rosemary CharlesDelighted to find a group which thinks as I have done since privatisation of the railway.
Sam Horton, BarnsleySolidarity.
Frank Sander, Buffalo, USAI live in the USA and fully agree with this protest. Public transport should be public.
Malcolm Pender, GlasgowPrivatisation has been an expensive disaster for the taxpayer.
Jonathan Dimsdale, HarrogateObviously, you have all forgotten that British Rail was never on time, equally expensive and passengers were treated as an unnecessary nuisance.
Dexter Dennis, ChalkwallThe new timetable does not work.
Stephen Newberry, HoveI think that a country’s public transport is a reflection of what the powers that be think of their citizenry.
Sheepa Ahmed, LondonThey are ripping us off.
Mitch Law, Weston-super-MareI pay £10.30 for a 30 minute train ride. I never get a seat and I feel ripped off every morning.
Allan Cook, WaterbeachThe UK has the highest cost for rail travel in the world. Train companies are running monopolies and not providing a good service.
John Pruvedenti, SomersetBring back British Rail.
Mick Rix, NorthumberlandHow can they take away what is rightfully ours in the first place? It’s the same with everything else that has been sold off.
Dave Wilson, HarlowThe scandal of penalties which load the dice against Railtrack in favour of train operating companies.
Ken Phillips, ChorleyEnd the madness of rail privatisation now.
Peter Harding, ReadingIt’s financial and operational sense to have a nationalised railway. I believe it’s time to have our railways run for people not profit.
Hector, CheshirePrivatisation was brought about by men for whom the continuous accumulation of money is the single focus of their existence as human beings.
David Hood, EdenbridgeThe service we are provided with is an utter disgrace. Continuous passing the buck of blame between these private organisations that are put in place to deliver travel.
Steven Gergus, BoltonWhat can I say, really?
Julie Blunden, HarrogateWe should have a national rail system without a single doubt.
Bruce Williams, DyffrynHaving worked for BR as a signalman for 20 years, I have seen our railway system slowly deteriorate into the shambles it is now.
Simon Templar, LondonStop privatising and franchising everything. Transport should be for the people, not shareholders.
Chris Hanley, HalifaxI commute every day and the service is terrible. I pay over £2,000 a year and get a seat 25% of the time.
