Raj Curry, LondonCounterfeit capitalism serves no-one.
Barbara Segal, BristolOur fragmented railways are in a mess – expensive and unreliable. We need a nationalised service where all revenue goes back into the service and not shareholders’ pockets.
Ian Love, SouthseaRe-nationalise the whole of the railways (and the buses for that matter). Give the power to the people instead of profits for the rich.
Edward Fox, LondonBring back British Rail.
Marian Prowse, PenzanceWe have a fragmented service, expensive and uncomfortable. We need an investment in good rail infrastructure without profits for shareholders. No efficiency in that.
Jon Evans, CardiffCompetition is supposed to drive down prices among competitors but this is obviously not the case.
Bryan J Willis, GatesheadStop the rail rip-off.
Susan Gassaway, AlfordI want all utilities re-nationalised too.
Chris Uren, BracknellI used to work for BR at Reading, loved every minute of it then they privatised it and it lost its attraction.
Jo Humphrey, DarlingtonWhy on earth should it be half the price of the cheapest advance train ticket to drive by car to my destination? Petrol should be taxed and the money used for trains.
Andrew Tait, EdinburghCapitalisation is fine, but when 10% of the population takes 90% of the profits and the remainder end up with increased charges, then it is time to take a reality check.
Aron Clay, SouthamptonIt’s disgusting that rail fares have become so extortionate when we live in a country with such severe over-crowding on the roads.
Harrison Foster, PortsmouthPrivatising critical services does not work.
Thomas Burke, OldhamWhat gives this Coalition the right to sell off the Royal Mail against the wishes of the British people? I’m more than unconvinced. Stop this now.
Paul Inman, Weston-super-MareGive us back that which was stolen from us – our railways.
Stephen Fairweather, NorwichWe should un-privatise everything. I’m fed up with being ripped off by greedy fat cats, and I’m sure I speak for most of us.
Andrew Ganley, Sutton, SurreyYet another totally fed up railway user.
Don Murtha, SunderlandPrivatisation means higher fares, huge profits, bonuses and a reduced workforce.
Tracey AllenThey should never have been de-nationalised. It was nationalised because it didn’t work as a mish-mash of companies.
Raymond Greenwood, BedfordIt may be a step back, but if that’s the only way to make it more user-friendly, and less expensive, then let’s do it.
Kayey Ellen, LondonRailways operate so much better when in public ownership. Best outcome for everyone involved.
Jeff Lewis, EastbourneTake it from the greedy shareholders who are pushing prices through the roof.
David Butler, ChesterRail travel is a public service and it should be run as one and not for profit. Look at London.
Siobhan Anker, ManchesterBring it back. You know it make sense.
Bryan Scott, LiverpoolEssential to a greener and more just transport system and society.
Dan Mills, EssexOur train network in England is a joke and needs reform.
Keith Lloyd, NorwichI’m a former career railwayman saddened by what’s been lost in the name of profit.
David Fox, ChesterfieldGet more commercial transport back on the rails and off our roads.
Dave Huxham, LeedsThey should never have been privatised. The railway has been in decline ever since.
Tracy O’Gorman, EastbourneLet us be one.
