Bess Britton, RiponAbout time.
Catherine Sermon, RiponPlease do not spend my hard-earned tax money to boost the profits of private companies.
Keren Gilfoyle-McGroarty, NottinghamA nationalised rail network would be able to re-invest in its hardware rather than paying off shareholders.
Andrew Halsey, KendalRe-nationalising is best with no further option to sell it off again.
Robert Swanepoel, EdinburghI support this.
Joanna Greaves, ManchesterPrivatisation of national assets was never going to work. It’s such a shame that the failure has cost us so much money.
Peter Cranmer, DoncasterPrivatisation was a bad idea from the beginning. To attempt to break up a national service and maintain this integration was stupid, ill thought-out and inept.
Jill Coakley, LiverpoolOur train system is a shambles.
Neil Beecham, LeedsWho ever thought privatisation was a good idea in the first place? Profits for shareholders usually mean corners cut in the service.
Rikki Ferguson, LondonNaked profiteering for private owners at the expense of rail travellers is wrong.
John Ross, EdinburghThe 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.
Iain Macdonald, CoventryAnother Tory cock-up.
Darren Phillips, LutonWe demand nationalisation of banks, railways and energy.
Dr Adrian Morgan, RiponA railway is a social service and should be not-for-profit, at the lowest possible fares for all. Britain’s railway system is too expensive for many buying on the day.
Robert Judson, WindermereI am a former employee of British Rail and a regular traveller. The current West Coast is a shambles.
David King, ExeterStop the fares rip-off. I would use trains if fares were affordable. Put freight back on the railway and take it off the motorways.
Carole Williamson, DurhamEssentials like travel and public services and utilities should be run by us, for us.
Belinda Wiggs, SheffieldBring back British Rail.
Bryan White, DerbyThe worst thing ever to happen to this country closely followed by gas and electricity privatisation
Mark Bishop, YorkWhat is wrong with a service? Why does everything have to provide a profit to shareholders?
David Dowker, BradfordRail is a service, not a profit source for the rich.
Brian Newbold, OakhamRailways too important to be left to private profit. Bring back British Rail.
Tom Duffy, CoventryWe need more cohesion, lower prices and an upgraded service.
Eileen Gibbon, SheffieldThe success of East Coast where private companies failed makes the case for bringing back British Rail.
Hadi Mehrpouya, EdinburghThis is a wonderful movement. My stomach turns every time I hear about the subsidies, and the amount of money private companies are stealing from the public.
Kimberley Parker, New MiltonThe rail services provided are some of the most expensive, yet poorly run in the world. People are forced to drive for convenience, which is damaging our environment.
Jonathan Davies, ScunthorpeBring back British Rail. Enough is enough.
Jean Smith, BrentwoodReduce road traffic and fumes. Re-nationalise the rail industry and make trains affordable and efficient.
Gary Madden, Newcastle-upon-TyneIt should never have been sold off in the first place. We owned it, why did we need the chance to buy something we already owned. It was all about giving it to the rich.
Beth Greene, LivingstonPrivatisation meant profit came before service and put travelling costs beyond the means of many. Poor service and quality too.
