Bring back loco-hauled trains. Reduce speeds for better comfort. No to HS2.

Paul O’Neill, London

End the waste that is privatisation.

Paul Kirk, Pool-in-Wharfedale

Why did we privatise a profit-making national treasure in the first place? It was utter cronyism, the same as the undervalued Post Office.

Richard Waugh, Holt

As an actor I have to travel all over the place. I am just starting out, but I can’t afford to go to many an audition because of the crazy cost of train travel.

Verity Dams, Swindon

Let’s make our rail networks as good as those in Europe and not charge the earth for them. Nationalise.

Karn Purvis, Bishop’s Stortford

No privatisation has resulted in cheaper prices for consumers – just profits for the minority who became shareholders.

Rosalind Hurst, Whitley Bay

Will common sense and the obvious finally prevail?

Richard Walthew, Duns

The banks and government are screwing us out of every last penny on every level.

Ian Greenhalgh, Edinburgh

With a better pricing strategy we can open the arteries to the cities and towns, moving the work force better and reducing the carbon footprint.

Richard Grant, Long Eaton

Fragmentation is a disaster for reliability and accountability.

Joe Ramsbottom, Ulverston

Re-nationalise and lets have a rail system owned by the people for the people with the profits going to the government not private companies.

Joe Laughlin, Keighley

Fares have increased out of proportion to wages or the cost of living.

Roberta Gamble, Shrewsbury

Fragmentation has wasted money on in-fighting instead of delivering a fully integrated service for business and families.

Alan King, Edinburgh

A rail system that serves the people of Britain – not rips them off.

Timothy Williams, Colwyn Bay

As a person who prefers good service for customers over meaningless profits for shareholders, I’d be happy to see a return to rail travel being publicly owned again.

Steve Dalton, Barnsley

I agree with Jeremy Corbyn. British Rail.

Derek Richardson, South Queensferry

We need a joined-up national service with a clear, reasonable pricing system.

Katriona John, London

Privatisation is a disaster. Franchises awarded based on false claims of returns, and not on value and service.

Graham Triggs, Stevenage

High rail prices, late trains and abuse to passengers. It’s time to bring back British Rail.

Paul Lewis, Crowborough

I started using BR in the 1970s, along with National Bus Company buses. I see nothing wrong with state-owned transport and I support this campaign. I must get the T-shirt.

Adrian Willats, Waterlooville

These prices do not relate to the terrible service we are receiving.

A Motta, London

I applaud your efforts, but this can only happen with a socialist government.

Michael Bennett, Berwick-upon-Tweed

The lack of communication between private network operators has left train journeys devoid of the human touch that it once had as British Rail.

Lucy Caithness, London

It’s not just the railways that need to be brought back into public ownership, but that’ll do for a start.

Andrew Pettigrew, Sheffield

Re-nationalisation of the rail companies will bring fares down and allow more to commute happily. It’s greater for the 99% paying into the nation than to a set of businessmen.

Antony Milek, Mirfield

Via subsidies, the rail companies are partly nationalised already – the East Coast mainline proves how it can be done properly.

Andy Butler, Northallerton

Re-nationalise or stop all subsidies. If the private sector is so great why do they need public money?

Alan Bremner, Stockport

This is a must.

Michael Doyle, Liverpool

I wish the absurd state of our industry would end and get back to a single, no-nonsense organisation, with no shareholders, just public service.

Owen Bushell, Alton

Rail privatisation has not worked, is not working and will never work!

Jon McCarthy
