Time to put the resources of the community back into community ownership.

Andrew Macmillan, Glasgow

The governments of this country, in the space of 50 odd years, have managed to undo so much of our technical advancement, we will soon be back in the dark ages.

John Ross, Edinburgh

Southern out – they are ruining my life.

Arana Van Week, Bromley

It can be the only solution not to see the profits line the pockets of huge corporations. It’s embarrassing at the moment.

Arran Stratton, Glasgow

Bring back a national rail service for the people and not for private profit.

Penny Thornton, Storrington

We need a decent transport system and we haven’t got one.

Bruce Baillie, Cleckheaton

British Rail should be state-owned and not privately owned.

Ross Kirkland, Edinburgh

It is a public service that should be in public hands.

Graham Garside, Southampton

Oh yes please, let’s return to the sanity of a nationalised rail system.

Anne Stephens, Lancaster

These railway companies are rubbish. Definitely bring back British Rail.

John Ward, Birmingham

The service provided by Chiltern is woefully inadequate. Clearly not enough resources are allocated to developing infrastructure.

Clare Simmonds, Beaconsfield

Necessary services should not be operated for profit.

Janki Tiwari, West Drayton

I’m outraged that two return flights (which are so bad for the environment) from London to Edinburgh come to a total of £45 as opposed to £282 by rail. The world has gone mad.

Gabrielle Deschamps, London

The rail system needs to be nationalised again, and this time run properly for the people of Britain.

Merrilyn Hambleton, Warrington

I support your campaign.

Mashood Ahmad, Chorley

How many directors and shareholders are taking a cut out of the present arrangements?

Leslie Barrett, Rugby

Travellers from abroad criticise our rail system far too regularly for us to tolerate the current structure.

Charles Lockwood, Newark

It makes nothing but sense to re-nationalise all infrastructure products and use profits for sustainable development.

Erik Dijkshoorn, Darlington

I love the railways. Bring back the old lines.

Luke Reeves, Blandford Forum

The railways should have always been owned by the public. It should only make profits to benefit all of us, not just a wealthy few. This goes for all services.

Ian Rutland, Darlington

The only way we will have a truly national railway run for the country and not profit for foreign companies.

Karl Johnson, Pontypridd

Intercity, the first profitable BR sector and envy of the world unmercifully butchered first. Bring back British Rail.

Alex Southern, London

I’m a season pass holder pay ridiculous amount and as I don’t ride the main line service I get two carriages and never a seat.

Josh Collier, Trowbridge

Far too expensive and people getting rich on the back of it. Let’s subsidise and bring down prices, not make fat cats richer.

Aud Jones, Leicester

We should not be making money out of people in this way.

Gary Hilsdon, Brighton

For the people, not private profit.

Eirin Julie Ingebrigtsvoll, London

The railways are getting worse and worse under private ownership.

Tobias Abse, London

East Coast is good and should not be put out to tender when previous contractors have failed. Re-nationalise the system.

Elizabeth Musgrove, Middlesbrough
