David Stock, PeterboroughTry getting a seat out of Peterborough.
Victoria Benson, Shoreham-by-SeaI would love a transport system that is as good as the systems in most of Europe.
Christine Hill, LondonEveryone’s utterly fed up and disillusioned with this current system – it just doesn’t work.
Tom Organ, BristolRe-nationalise British Railways immediately and without compensation.
Kevin Jordan, CoalvilleI’m badly in need of a railway from Leicester to Burton. This can help us. Keep up the good work.
Pippa Richardson, SwanseaPrivatised railway shareholders and executives profit from passengers and taxpayers. This profit should be used to keep fares down and improve the network.
Joyce Wood, NorthamptonWe should re-nationalise all our sold-off utilities. No-one asked us for permission.
Mark Ransley, West MallingYou should not be able to publicise a service which many of us have no choice but to use. It’s just wrong.
Steve Revins, BirminghamRailway workers and users together to fight for our interests.
Melanie James, UttoxeterSevere overcrowding.
Bernard Fraser, Thorne, DoncasterWe used to lead now we can’t even follow.
David Wallis, GranthamThe current mess is exactly that – a mess.
Hannah Sawtell, NottinghamI am very upset by today’s news about the East and West Coast mainlines. Yet another example of business and greed being more important than the needs of the nation.
Erryl McLarty, Whitley BayRe-nationalise – it makes sense.
Margaret Foster, HitchinOther countries manage their transport systems with nationalised, integrated services. Some of them even own some of our railway networks. Surely we could do the same?
Andrea Byrom, LeedsWe need a unified railway system. We need to acknowledge the environmental and public ownership benefits and run it for the public good, not for private profit.
Andrew Hall, YorkThe current set-up is not sustainable. Only a country can run its infrastructure – and a country wouldn’t spend billions on the old technology of HS2.
Janet Francis, Welwyn Garden CityBritish Rail, one company, one network.
Natalie Lamb, ChiselboroughIt is crazy that it’s usually double the cost for me alone to travel by train than car. I do however as I am deeply concerned about my carbon footprint.
James Ritchie, CarnoustieGet back to the good old days with railways who cared.
Linda Uruchurtu, CambridgePrivatised rail companies haven’t provided better services, but uneven ones, with ever increasing fares.
Evelyn Welsh, PrestwickIt was a huge mistake. East Coast lines and Eurostar prove that publicly-owned railways can bring in profits for us all.
Sally Morley, NottinghamI support the Bring back British Rail campaign.
Simon Forsey, NottinghamBring it back!
John Sadler, LongframlingtonPlease re-nationalise our railways. I believe this would help to control spiralling ticket prices and also make routes and schedules of the system more efficient.
Patrick Baker, DerbyThe current railway system is a laughing stock.
Louise Sumner, LeylandRail travel has never been the same since we lost BR.
David Preece, Bishop’s FromeThe success of East Coast line in public ownership speaks for itself.
Emily Hallam, NottinghamBritish Railways are awesome.
Michael Yates, BillingsI haven’t been in the UK for 12 years but I used to love riding the rails and I’m saddened by what I’ve heard about how things have gone down hill since privatisation.
