Keep up the good work.

Dave Spooner, York

Stop the rot and get rid of Abellio Greater Anglia now.

Matt Hearnden, Ipswich

How these companies get away with making us pay extortionate fees for sub-standard services is beyond me. Bring back British Rail.

James Scott, Putney

The East Coast Main Line is running well under state ownership. Henry Ford said “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”

Alan Britcher, Sandy

Simple pricing please and non-hiked prices on the day. One company for one country please.

Janice Hine, Brockenhurst

Poor service, no rolling stock, later and never early.

Alexander McLean, Kilmarnock

And then we can re-nationalise energy and water.

Carmen Edwards, Wrexham

Other countries manage their transport systems with nationalised, integrated services. Some of them even own some of our railway networks. Surely we could do the same?

Margaret Foster, Hitchin

Transport for the working man/woman is too important to leave to the greed of private enterprise.

Robert Eadie, Glasgow

Re-nationalise the railways and stop creaming off a profit for people wealthy enough not to need it.

Rebecca Devitt, Southampton

Today the railway is purely driven to provide profit. Safety and improvement to the system are a secondary thought. Bring back BR.

Jonathan Stevenson

Privatisation of trains has patently not worked.

Annette Lenton, Sussex

The East Coast line is the most efficient in Britain, and publicly-run rail in France and Belgium is cheaper and far more efficient than privatised rail in the UK.

Graham Johnson, Nottingham

Railways should be for the masses, not just for the super rich.

David Banks, Preston

Britain needs public industry.

Alexander Naughton, Edinburgh

British Rail should be run for the people, not the greedy shareholders.

Sheena Brown, Whitstable

I’m sick of the cost of train tickets.

David Ellershaw, High Bentham

Railways, like many national services, should be run and owned by the state. We used to have the best railway in the world, which was chopped up and spoiled.

Mike Gotteri, Sheffield

I believe in nationalised railways to make them fairer for all users.

James Paton, Manchester

Subsidise public transport, tax fuel.

Bill Holland, Manchester

a good thing to bring back and it makes sense.

Jake Sque, New Milton

Privatisation was a huge mistake, just driven by political dogma. New Labour broke their promise to re-nationalise. But there is still hope! Good luck!

Michael Cockburn, Cambridge

Privatisation has failed and always will.

Michael Boyle, Windsor

Yes. Privatising was a big expensive mistake.

David Kemball-Cook, St. Albans

British Rail should never have been stolen from us in the first place. Lousy Tories.

Charles Hemingway, Barnsley

How could anyone possibly have thought privatisation was a good idea?

Gary Dickson, Sheffield

Privatisation hasn’t worked for the national good.

Michael Young, London

UK rail fares are exorbitant and the result of a private cartel running a public service. I have no choice but to take a train to where the jobs are.

Sean O’Conor, Woking

Time to end the farce that has become the privatised rail service.

Toby Lister, Bristol
