Arriva Trains Wales has got to be one of the most expensive services in the UK and its service is appalling.

Privatising the railways has failed the passenger and rewarded only the shareholders.

I wholeheartedly support your campaign to re-nationalise the UK rail network.

The country which invented rail travel deserves the best national railway.

Hopeless franchise process continually adding to ticket prices.

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?

The carriages need to be cleaner and there should be more of them. Fares should be standardised and the journey and customer experience should be prioritised.

Privatisation of publicly owned assets is theft.

Rail is a natural monopoly and should be in the hands of the people through democratic government.

It always worked better under government control.

I recently travelled on trains in Europe and China, superior to the UK and run for their people. UK get a grip and nationalise.

Privatising the railways was a misconceived policy that wasn’t even prosecuted competently. It is disgraceful that driving is cheaper than train fares.

As soon as possible

Major stole my railway system. l want my trains back.

It can’t possibly be any worse.

It’s common sense to re-nationalise the railways and use the profits for this country.

I’m actually quite alarmed for my personal safety on overcrowded platforms filled with angry would-be passengers. I also fear disease from filthy carriages.

Railways should never have been privatised.

Division of the rail service into smaller providers would always be economically unviable and a waste of resources.

More consideration, care and respect for train users. Many of us have no choice but to use the trains. Overly high fare prices and still I have to stand every day.

Ticket prices have ballooned since privatisation, as every player in the rail industry whacks up the profit margins.

All profits should go back into the railway not into private investors’ pockets. Railways should be subsidised and for the people not the wealthy.

Enough is enough. As a regular user of trains who experiences the ridiculous pricing, it’s time to get some standardising back to this public service.

Take our railway out of the hands of greedy and corrupt businessmen and return it to us.

Bring back the love of travel and not the love of money.

It’s obvious that this has to happen.

I travel on a bus for two to three hours extra to go to university and back as the trains are too expensive. It saves me about £26 per week.

All services in the country should only be owned by the British people.

I am fed up with overpricing, dirty trains, poor journeys, no choice and trains being cancelled. And they think its acceptable.

Yes I agree.
