Vince Jerrison, TrewalderStop incompetent companies intent on profit ruining our services and get a grip on it again.
Matthew Macaulay, CoventryFares keep rising, and as a result I have found more people becoming unable to commute to work with us.
Isabella Block, WinchesterIt should belong to all of us.
Ann Lerning, PrestonIt is time to bring back British Rail and it is time to stop privatising.
Paul Sinclair, BaldockThe current system just gives profits to private companies instead of the state.
Toby Saunders, FarnboroughMy train fare is too expensive, the service is terrible and I rarely get a seat.
Margaretha Galt, CambridgeWe pay six times as much as Europe. We need a nationalised railway now.
Dan Gifford, MachynllethGerman rail allows two 48 hour stop-overs within one long distance ticket. I don’t think that could happen with the complexity of our rail system, and theirs is cheaper.
Helen Field, SouthamptonIt’s absolute common sense. I’m going to share “Bring back British Rail” as far and wide as I possibly can.
Andy Lyon, StotfoldEnd the profiteering and bring the core passenger operators back into public ownership.
Colin Staplehurst, LondonYou can’t put a price on transport. Get it back and run it properly.
Mary Thomas, PlymouthEnough is enough. Give us back our railways.
Edward Carding-Moorhouse, NorthwichJust about every other country in Europe has retained its national rail system and invested in it. Why not us?
Angela Lumb, SelbyIt should never have been sold off at all.
Elaine Hanson, HuddersfieldWishing you huge success.
Robert Naylor, MansfieldThe railways are a brilliant way to transport people and goods and belong to the people of Britain. This should never be in private hands.
Timothy Geeson, LeedsThe Train Operating Companies and the Maintenance Companies all take profit. It’s a nice way to transfer government subsidies to them and it’s unfair.
David Challis, MacclesfieldTravelling on railways in Europe shows us up. Elsewhere, better and cheaper. Privatisation has been a massive fraud against the public
Charles Regan, WolverhamptonEnd this rip-off of passengers and taxpayers by private corporations. Put people and an integrated transport system ahead of private profit.
Lucas Thorpe, Newcastle-upon-TyneKeep East Coast public.
Richard Symonds, BroadstairsEast Coast is beating all the private companies. The best European networks are state-owned. Private rail is dear and dangerous.
Philip Wallace, SwindonI would like to see the rail system under public ownership, with a promise of constant investment, and not left to run down.
Anthony Davis, LondonI daily use trains and the prices keep going up and up and the service getting worse and worse. This should be non-profit and the government should be at the helm.
Paul Halliday, LauncestonSociety before profit.
Tyrone Bowen, SloughThe rail system in its current form is a joke.
Roy Eyley, FarnsfieldAbout time too.
Jayson GillhamWorld-class train transport please.
Helena Richards, EdinburghSomething as important as our transport infrastructure shouldn’t be left to profit-making companies to run. The state should be in control and take any resulting profits.
Michele Webber, ColchesterNational travel should be cheap and affordable and subsidised by government. The gains to the economy would more than pay for it in my opinion.
Reuben Reynolds, LeicesterEnd “profit before people”. Kill privatisation. Re-nationalise now.
