It’s our railway and should not be for private profit.

Les Lazell, Peterborough

Bringing back British rail is the only solution to this savage destruction of our railways.

Bill Porter

Need to end privatisation.

Callum Sutherland, Forres

The privatisation project of the last thirty years has been an ideologically driven disaster, and the railways fiasco of the 1990s was amongst the most egregious.

John Young, Nottingham

I’m keen to be involved in local transport campaigns. Please put me in touch with local union and other campaigners.

Gerry McCartney, Johnstone

It’s ludicrous subsidising railways with operating companies taking profits out of the subsidy.

John Bibby, Morpeth

It’s not about socialism, it’s about having a working transport system.

Mark O’Neill, Nottingham

I frequently travel by train and have witnessed standards and services reduce as prices increase. The trains should be run as a not-for-profit service for everyone.

Dawn Woolley, Cardiff

Our fragmented rail system does not work. Bring back a National Transport System.

Christine Ogilvie, Bexley

British Rail was not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but it was better than what we tolerate now. ECML have shown what can be achieved. Now for the rest.

Peter Brown, London

I want the labour Party to put this in the general election manifesto and then, when elected, do it!

Tony Jones, Reading

Transport should be owned by the people and for the people, not by the politicians’ banker mates.

Richard Harris, Crowborough

Control of our rail networks, rolling-stock, etc. should never have been taken out of the hands of the British public. We need an efficient, fair system back now.

Margaret Wilson, Durham

The continual dropping of standards, quality of service and reduction of safety while ramping up prices has to stop.

Nick Sharp, St Neots

Why privatise a national asset in the first place? – Greed.

Pat Tracey, Fleet

How will capital be raised and serviced and prices set? Should management consult and respect subsidiarity, socialist emulation and more? How will workers be disciplined?

George Talbot, Watford

Vote Jeremy Corbyn and let’s make it happen.

Luke Hamilton, Faversham

If the rail service was re-nationalised it would be more reliable and cheaper, because it would not be running for private profit. I for one would use it again.

Kenneth Stirland, Middlesbrough

It just makes sense.

Glyn Littlewood, Barnsley

Bring back British Rail.

Richard Cooper, Glasgow

I’m not from the UK. In fact, I’ve never visited. Nonetheless, I possess great respect for the BR system of old. Bring back British Rail, bring back the age of the train.

Tamir Somerville, Vancouver

Long overdue.

Colin Farlow, Exeter

Time to end the nightmare of privatisation and the myth that it gets results. It’s pure greed.

Terry Connolly, London

British Rail should never have been stolen from us in the first place. Lousy Tories.

Charles Hemingway, Barnsley

Bring free travel to disabled people.

Gareth Pritchard, Holyhead

We deserve a service that suits the public, not the profit-making private. Also to encourage the use of a greener transport system.

Alfred English, Colchester

Just bring it back to us. We have enough private companies that suck our money and waste it on high salaries for themselves.

Catherine Morley, Eastleigh

We can make this work.

Guy Birkin, Nottingham

I’m a proud member of the Wrexham – Birkenhead Rail Users’ Association.

John Edmondson, Heswall
