Veronica Sims, BedfordIt seems to me vital that the government understands that the railways are not there for the profit of a few but to keep the UK moving.
Rita Aldridge, WoodbridgeTrain service isn’t more efficient for being privatised – in fact worse, expensive and awful old carriages.
Terry Thomson, SwanseaInstead of wasting money on high speed rail, spend it on putting back all the branch lines to bring life back into the country, also creating lots more jobs.
Elise Smith, CanterburyIt should not be cheaper and more convenient for me to commute to work by car.
Simon Mayhall, LeedsNationalisation of the railways has always been an essential part of society. I am pessimistic in the extreme in these days of everything being privatised.
Denis Doran, Bury St EdmundsI would like to see the railways nationalised again.
Nicholas Darsley, LondonThe rail system should be for the benefit of travellers, not for private profit.
Colin Flowerday, HoltWe want British Rail back running great trains, not a rubbish privatised service.
Catherine McChleery, CoventryGive us back a decent service with reasonably priced tickets.
John Brown, LondonRailways for people not profit.
Mark Parsons, BristolSave the planet. Give us a better public transport system.
Richard Chappell, WalsallThe days of the Big Four are gone. We need a well run and managed national transport system as seen in other European countries.
Linda Johnson-Laird, Waltham AbbeyI’m totally behind this movement. Bring it on.
Conor Dunne, LeedsSpending £100+ to get to London is extortion.
Vivienne E Heatley, LondonYes! Re-nationalise the railways and everything else we paid for.
Sheelagh Nash, DumfriesThe sooner the better.
Geoffrey Crouch, CranbrookTrack, facilities, rolling stock and staff should be managed regionally, with overall direction from the centre.
Arthur Edis, DoncasterIt’s about time we had everything back. We may be able to afford to live then.
Jennifer Brazil, Great MissendenIt cost me £110 for an advance return train ticket from Yorkshire to Great Missenden but £120 for a return plane ticket to Berlin. Ridiculous.
Kevin Hollands, LondonRe-nationalisation will save the tax-payer money which I thought this Tory government wants to do.
Stephen James Lemon, PortsmouthBritish Rail was far more profitable and efficient and affordable than the current system. Thus we need it back for the future.
Jonathan Goddard, KetteringEnd the corruption that is East Midlands Trains, the adding on of fares due to engineering work because stops are not covered on your ticket. In short nationalise it.
Lesley Tompkins, LeedsWe need a railway system run for passengers, not for profit. Also run for environmental reasons.
Marc Seccombe, DoncasterIf it can be as good as East Coast.
Lyn Edwards, WatfordWe need a joined up transport system.
Alison Morgan, GloucesterCommon sense, public service run for the people, not bankers.
Douglas Mitchell, BedfordTake back the community’s railways.
Alison Richards, PenzanceI believe that British Rail should never have been privatised. Britain should be British and proud of it, so let’s make it publicly-owned and British again.
Karl Reid, StroodHaving worked within the UK rail industry both under BR and privatisation, while some benefits have happened much has got worse. British Rail needs to come back.
Anthony John Adamson, Stanleystop the fares rip-off. Give us back our railways.
