Stop taking away things that have made Britain great.

David Hills, Worthing

I’ve had enough of Southeastern – they’re unreliable and too expensive.

Isabel Morgan

The banks and government are screwing us out of every last penny on every level.

Ian Greenhalgh, Edinburgh

We need a singular railway operation.

Claire James, Coventry

We need a proper railway system again, not HS2.

Chris Blackmore, Melksham

We want a decent rail service. We deserve it and God knows we pay enough for it.

Michele Morrod, Worthing

An efficient reliable customer-orientated rail service plus effective freight transport is what is needed.

Gillian Wolff, Sheffield

Bring back a better version of British Rail.

Peter Whalen, Leicester

We need an organisation like this.

Michael Smallwood, Hornsea

Since BR was privatised by the government it is now run by different companies. These companies hike up the fares every year and provide a poor service for high prices.

Eirug Griffiths, Neath

There are few jobs in my home town which is only one hour from London by rail. However, few can take up jobs in London because of the exorbitant rail fares.

Jude Davies, Grantham

Renationalise the railways for the benefit of passengers, employees, and the public now.

Phillip Derisi, London

Quite simple really – public transport owned by the public for the public.

Rachael Foxevans, York

Economy class is always absolutely packed.

Joseph Wasnock, Welwyn Garden City

Stop privatising the railways.

Liz O’Brien, London

It is so fragmented now it’s a mess.

Felicity Yarrow, North Shields

The rail companies are putting the shareholders first and the people who are the users of the service are being ripped off.

Barbara Jean, Doncaster

About time too.

Roy Eyley, Farnsfield

Since the taxpayer subsidises the railway he should own it.

Jenny Nixon, Crewe

Just bring back British Rail and re-nationalise the railways.

Adrian Britton, Bristol

British Rail should belong to the people and not private investors.

Credwyn Livesey, Peterborough

Re-nationalise the railways, and the utility companies. Monopolies and cartels are ripping us all off, and enriching already-rich fat cats.

James Stewart, Cambridge

I challenge a political party to make this happen. It would be hugely popular with the British people. So why won’t they take up the challenge ?

Laurence Hunter, Edinburgh

It’s a disgrace that we pay more money in and get less out.

Richard Stott, Berwick-upon-Tweed

Privatisation of the rail network has led to hugely increased fares and shoddy maintenance, as the only thing that matters to them is profit.

Sheila Lamb, Tewkesbury

Train fares should be reduced when bus replacement service is in operation and notification of why it has been necessary.

Alan Frost, Eastbourne

Just when East Coast was moving into profit it was stolen again.

David Annand, Cupar

You can’t put a price on transport. Get it back and run it properly.

Colin Staplehurst, London

The East Coast fiasco showed why re-nationalising the train network is the most common-sense option.

Edward Tyrell, Liverpool

Public transport should belong to the Public.

Jonathan Sykes, York
