Catol Kirkman, HoveUnreliable service is ruining the quality of my family life. To consistently have trains from Victoria to Hove cancelled is appalling.
Iain Bowley, NorthwichJust the ticket.
Gwenno Dafydd Williams, CardiffRhaid inni fod fel rhannau o Ewrop sydd a thrennau rhad sydd wedi eu rheoli gan y llywodraeth. (We need to be more like parts of Europe which have cheap state-run trains.)
David Frost, Sunderland.I believe that all public transport, electricity, gas, and water should be re-nationalised for the benefit of the consumers.
Sam SmithWe all know re-nationalisation is the way forward.
David Johnston, GlenrothesIt would be better with British Rail all with the same colours.
Sam Wynne, Poynton£8 to go 5 stops. That’s £160 a month to get to work for an £800 a month job.
Kade Ramsey, ColchesterI’m too young to remember the railways before privatisation, but I am disgusted with the colossal increases in fares every year. Re-nationalise the railways.
Martin Le Fevre, BelfordRail is a necessary service not a profit machine for capitalists.
Craig Thomas, ManchesterThe railways should be run as a public good, for public benefit, not for profit to shareholders.
Michael Chick, St HelensI’m tired of crowded trains and never being on time. Northern has to be one of the worst rail operators – that has been proved, so please take it back.
John ConleyReturning to British Rail would simplify all the Ticket Clerks’ jobs greatly.
Russell Richards, ChelmsfordA public service such as rail should be run for the benefit of the customers it serves, not for the benefit of its shareholders.
Joseph Pitchford, HarrogateI bought my train ticket for my regular commute. However, I accidentally bought it for the next day and was then tricked into giving my details for a £100 fine.
Neil Smith, SeafordA no-brainer. They should never have been sold off and should be back in the hands of the British people along with the other national assets that were craftily sold off.
Lynda Lorenzo, Sutton-on-SeaA long-time commuter in my youth, now living where there is no rail service – but strongly believe rail network should all be in public ownership.
Sally Battley, LondonBrighter futures.
Adrian Clinch, BroadwayNationalisation is the only solution to the appalling cost and standard of service of the present system.
Tracy Nelson, DartfordThe trains at the moment are an absolute joke – expensive and always late. Privatisation was supposed to improve train services, but this was a lie. Bring back BR now.
Jon Brown, MorecambeBetter for Britain. Nationalise all utilities.
Sara Dona, LeedsI did work experience for the HSE and was shocked to find that the Potters Bar crash happened because of poor maintenance, subcontracted to unqualified people.
Stephen Rollason, ExmouthOne should not make profit out of public transport.
Lisa Mundy, PortsmouthI recently travelled on trains in Europe and China, superior to the UK and run for their people. UK get a grip and nationalise.
Graeme Mclean, AberdeenPut service before profit.
John Wilson, CambridgeshireNow there are so many different types of tickets in different areas, it’s impossible to be sure if you are getting a reasonable deal.
Lesley Perrin, DevonIt should never have been sold off in the first place. No consultation and given away for pennies.
Tina Comparini, Southampton20 years of above inflation price hikes and I’m travelling in trains, not properly cleaned, with broken dirty toilets.
Sakinadesilva De Silva, WatfordWe’re travelling like cattle. It is not free either. Give the hard-working passengers some dignity.
Brenda McCraith, KetteringLet’s roll back the last twenty years of mayhem and costs and bring back good old British Rail, a wonderful institution.
Justin Grasty, YorkThe only way to travel that makes sense. By the people for the people. The competition fallacy has derailed with the success of East Coast thus far.
