Make rail fares fair.

Bethany White, Southampton

When you see how well the East Coast line is performing it is only right that we keep it in public ownership.

James Mc Ewan, Erskine

Excellent initiative. Rail prices are absolutely scandalous (some would say criminal) since privatisation.

Simon Sandall, Swindon

I don’t use the rail network since learning to drive but a national rail network/provider seems to make good financial sense as long as it is allowed to modernise.

William Grant, Surrey

If state railways are viable as a solid, excellent business then I support this campaign – But the old British Rail did not achieve that.

Vince Hayes, Bedford

It should not have been done in the first place.

Cyril Rhodes, Sheffield

This is one in a fairly short list of de-nationalisations that have far from benefited the end user and been used as a cash cow to line the pockets of their owners.

Chris Motley, Flamstead

Striving to make Britain Great again.

Paul Hutchins, Exeter

The service is run for private profit. The transport system is vital for environmental purposes as well as the needs of the public.

Tom Pitman, Cardiff

Great idea. Why not get the campaign to re-nationalise Royal Mail started now as well. In a few years that will also be expensive and useless.

Alex May, Wallasey

Railways are massively important and should be run for everyone, not just greedy private companies and shareholders. Nationalise them now.

Stephen Davis, Sunderland

Fares are unfairly high and the service is a shambles. Delayed trains are almost expected nowadays and this is as a direct result of privatisation.

Luke Thompson, Huddersfield

The privateers have had their chance and shown us what they do with a ‘small state’. It’s time to take our country back.

Richard Lane, York

There is a great need and desire to return railways to public ownership more than ever.

Joan Norton, Woodbridge

Southeastern service is terrible. Broken system. Any profits should be re-invested into the network, not paid to shareholders who have no interest in running of the line

Martin Callahan

It’s the only way to improve rail transport and get an integrated network.

Alwyne Richards-Ellis, Luton

A publicly owned, democratically accountable public transport system.

Abdul-Nasser J G Baston, London

I am sick of public money subsidising private companies and shareholders. Give it back to us – we paid for it after all!

Mary Watson, London

Considering we have just about the highest train fares in Europe, re-nationalisation would seem to be a wise decision.

Timothy Nicholas Brown, Banbury

It was the worst thing that ever happened, privatisation of the railways. Its time re-nationalise.

Robert Law, Dundee

The current system is a joke. The services don’t join up, leaving an inconsistent customer experience and expensive tickets. Get it together!

Christopher Main, Lanarkshire

I’m a student and it’s so expensive to get home to see my family.

Sebastian Hart, Ipswich

Privatisation is an utter shambles.

Ian Walker, Milton Keynes

Check out the pathetic rail service in North Wales. Who cares?

Sue McCall, Llanfairpwllgwyngyll

Time for a real change in politics, time for the nation’s good and the welfare of all, not just shareholders.

Geoff Walker, Stoke-on-Trent

Please bring back the railways into public ownership.

Lynda Russell, St Leonards-on-Sea

Reverse the idiocracy.

Simon Edwards, Stoke-on-Trent

We need an integrated transport system based on need not profit, with workers’ control and passengers not customers.

Geoff Beer, Ashford
