Ripping off people left, right and centre.

June Abbott, Perth

I’m tired of a rubbish and expensive service run mainly by non-British owned companies fleecing the public for profit.

J Spikings, London

Nationalised service is the only way our money is reinvested in the railways and not creamed off by profiteering shareholders and Tory fat cats.

Jill Radford, Saltburn

Under privatisation standards have fallen whilst prices have risen. We should re-nationalise the railways.

Joanne Hughes, Derby

Bring back the big blue trains.

Donald Hutchison, Penzance

I heartily agree that we should bring back British Rail to run the railways for the people and not for private profit.

Jane Rees, Colchester

Bloody stupid idea to privatise it in the first place.

Bob Bryson, Edinburgh

Southern trains are a national disgrace. Their service is appalling. I commute into London from Horsham and am constantly delayed, paying almost 4grand for the privilege.

Sam Davis, Horsham

Our current system hoodwinks, fleeces, and punishes the customer. I’m sick of navigating the labyrinth of pricing and timings. Bring back our national system, please.

Cathy Smith, London

Can we have normal fares, instead of being ripped off by private companies?

Paul Burrows, West Wickham

As soon as possible.

David Bradley, Hove

We are campaigning to restore the railway line to Marlborough.

Sam Page, Marlborough

The prices are beyond a joke. An end to privatised railway services must come.

Christopher Thomson, Chelmsford

I’m fed up being over-charged to use the railway network. Also, do away with first class and make everyone travel together.

Dave Upton, Portsmouth

Down with Thatcher, up the revolution.

Michael Barr, Ashtead

Socialise the railways for the people and not for the profit of the few.

James Rennie, Little Harrowden

To replace highly trained guards with glorified customer service operatives is ridiculous and an insult to rail users.

Mary Price, Worthing

Public transport should not be run for profit.

Jon Carthy, Nottinghamshire

I’m outraged that huge public subsidies and high fares make massive profits for overseas based companies.

Adrian Ashwell, Brighton

I’m too young to have remembered when the railways weren’t privatised but it sounds like a good idea.

Ben M H, Plymouth

I think that if we bring back British Rail, it will cause a smarter, unified railway for the public.

Aidan Wilson, South Shields

I strongly support this campaign. Rail travel to work is becoming prohibitive by cost and is causing an exodus of talent from the city.

Richard Sharp, Colchester

I’m fed up with privatised rail and being forced to opt for the car too many times.

David Fagan, Liverpool

I couldn’t agree more. These franchises are run as businesses and not as a public service.

David Treadgold, Purfleet

Labour must commit to bring rail back to public ownership. Stop the madness.

David Speare, Plymouth

Yes, keep the mega-profits in this country. Come on – it makes sense.

Oak Weld, Colchester

It makes me sick that taxpayer’s money is spent on rail upgrades, via Network Rail, whilst these private train companies are making huge profits.

Paul Medley, London

Bring back British Rail so that the service is first and foremost for the people, not primarily for private economic profit.

David Sutherland, Montrose

Rail privatisation has caused me huge problems over the past sixteen years, primarily because the companies refuse to co-operate with each other over problems.

David Lockwood, Worcester

British Rail was better run than all the private rail companies put together. I should know – I have been travelling on them for more than 60 years.

Alan Spicer, Bodmin
