Tax payers paid for British Rail and they have a say in what to do with BR, not money grabbing MPs.

Brian Stephens, Sunderland

It’s one very important thing we can do now we’re out of the EU.

Charlott Ndupuechi, Southampton

Bring back British Rail.

Emma Andrews, Truro

I’m a student and I am so tired of being exploited by companies who want my money and feel they have no obligation to give people the transport service they deserve.

Christopher Worthington, Preston

We’ve tried global privatisation – look where it got us. Let’s return to publicly-owned local and national services run for the public good.

Jacqui Lewis, Hook

Do away with private regional rail networks.

Bill Hobson, Morden

Bring back British Rail and get rid of this rail madness we now suffer from – crap service and high fares.

Robert Parker, Sandhurst

Let’s stop this insanity and vanity and get real.

Eileen Johnson, York

The trains are overcrowded, overpriced and cost the tax payer more than when nationalised. They used to be a bit scruffy but at least you got a seat.

Kay Hallam, Tadley

Why privatise profits? East Coast mainline proves the point.

Mark Gough, Wakefield

Re- nationalise British Rail for efficiency instead of profit.

Paul Roadnight, Harrow

We are fed up with all these fat cats which are lining their pockets with lots of money. Let the people run the railways and you will see the improvements they bring.

Claudia Bultman, Gravesend

Please sort it out and stop the squeeze.

lori Campbell, Bristol

SNCF in France seems to work well as does DB in Germany. From home to university in Kent I go through five different companies which are never in sync.

Mal Kempsell, Liverpool

Our rail and utility companies should never have been sold off in the first place.

Dawn Chamberlain, Liskeard

No civil transportation diminishes the system for me. Private companies are not civil service.

Eugene Souza Kiefer, Las Vegas

We need to get the Labour and Lib Dem view on this. Of course do not forget. The Green Party. I am pretty sure which side they are on. Forget about the Tories.

David Secker, Ealing

Each year the service gets worse and worse. It’s hugely expensive.

Steve Ford, Winchester

By improving the current rail system, fewer people will be tempted to use cars for longer journeys which would make the environment more sustainable.

Mike Stevens, Lancaster

Rail transport is a mess in this country.

John Heath, Scunthorpe

I am in favour of a nationalised rail service provided it will not become top heavy with an army of unnecessary and obscenely overpaid management structure like before.

Michael Nurse, Tonbridge

Keep East Coast in our hands.

Mike Arnell, Hull

Let’s get them all back.

Arthur Hornby, Liverpool

You can tell by the overcrowded trains that people want to use railways and there are others who want to use it but are put off by the fares. BR did it better.

Raymond Austin, Houghton-le-Spring

Transport is one of the lifelines creating a better, more equitable and connected society. It should not be run for private profit.

Katie Faddy, Winchester

East Coast paid over £1bn to the Treasury in dues yet re-privatisation took place in 2015 defying economic logic, completely fulfilling Tory strategic plans.

Andrew McDonnel, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Reverse the disaster of privatisation.

Roy Gasson, Horncastle

Let’s get back a railway that we as a nation can be proud of once again.

David Woodruff, Weymouth

We rail users are being ripped off compared to Europe. Thank you.

Wanda Tarr, London
