Mark Kingston, RingmerAnd while you are at it, bring back the rail link between Brighton and Tunbridge Wells.
Alan Pool, RoystonBring public transport back to the public again, instead of subsidising the profits of private shareholders.
Victoria Wild, HarrogatePlease, please make this happen.
Nik Dadson, RoystonWe subsidise rail firms with our taxes, pay way over the top for season tickets from our pre-taxed wages and get an awful service. Profits go to shareholders.
Peter Knight, FolkestonePeople not profit.
John Jenkins, YorkEnd the privatisation disaster.
John Tucker, BrixhamI’ve just returned from train travel through France, Italy and Switzerland and Eurostar. I then went from Paddington to Newton Abbot by First Great Western – oh dear, shameful.
Martin McCloghry, BrentfordThe public are being ripped off again and again.
William Hall, HatfieldPrivatise rail companies put profits ahead of passengers and continue to offer the travelling public a third rate service.
David Miles, KentOur railways are obviously not working as they are. The government should sort it out, but it’s unlikely as it’s such a gutless entity.
Chris Mills, IpswichAll East Anglian train licensees have been a dirty, late, packed-trains nightmare for years. Re-nationalisation is the only answer, and re-open branch lines.
Anthony Hammond, DealLets have some consideration for the public and not private profit.
Robert Hart, Newcastle-upon-TyneIt will be fairer and safer and profit will go back into improving rail services and not to shareholders.
Kevin Parkinson, PrestonLet’s have a railway to be proud of, not abused or neglected by fat cats and politicians.
Alan Corner, MiddlesbroughInstitutions like British Rail should have never been privatised. The companies are milking the public dry while running a poor service.
Steve Fishwick, LondonBring it back and let’s run the service for all the people and not for the profits for a few. Think of what good all that money could do for the industry and more.
Mike Smith, EghamI’m sick of paying exorbitant SW Train prices to fund shareholders.
Jane Rendle, Hebden BridgeTrain companies don’t invest, aren’t interested in the green agenda or improving our travelling experience. Basic infrastructure should be state-owned.
Terence Johnstone, CleethorpesRail privatisation has been an expensive disaster.
Gareth Bridges, SwindonBring back British Rail.
Gwenno Williams, GlamorganRail travel needs to be nationalised, prices reduced and services improved so that more people will be encouraged to get out of their cars.
Max Burton, ManchesterJust look at East Coast. We in the North could do with a bit of that.
Richard Hammond, WakefieldI just tried buying a first class ticket (Wakefield-Folkestone) £452 return. All it’s doing is forcing cars onto the road. It’s a disgrace.
David Hornsby, ShipleyRe-nationalise the rail network and put the customer, not profits, first.
Daphne Hayden, Whitley BayAll the rail network should be nationalised.
Jim Parker, Hampton WickCutting out stations to make up time and not keeping customers informed drives me crazy.
James Masters, LondonAnother Great British institution trampled on by fake profiteering. Shame.
Marie Gilman, RotherhamOne unified organisation is what we need. It should never have been privatised.
Harriet Rogers, BirminghamBring prices down. Re-nationalise now.
David Knapp, St AlbansThe network should never have been sold off. It’s become a nightmare to travel on the network now and way too costly.
