Susan Carter, HeptonstallAs a disabled passenger on benefits, it is too expensive and too difficult to travel by train. Give us back our rail system, run it for people not for private profit.
Mike Watkins, ChirburyToo many people can no longer afford to use the railways. The prices are the most expensive in Europe. Profits should be for British people.
Graham Derry, NottinghamNationalise the railways to make it a national system to give a unified and efficient service.
Mat FlemingThe privatised railways make no sense for the passenger. Companies and managers make huge profits whilst passengers, taxpayers and workers are ripped off.
Claudia Bultman, GravesendWe 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.
Kevin Price, NottinghamTrains should be accessible and far more affordable over longer distances, rather than using a car and the expense of fuel. Also more employment should be created.
Gillian Oldaker, Shepton MalletPrices are too high and the service is too poor. Bring back British Rail.
Edward Padmore, SheffieldOur train fares should go into improving the system, not a businessman’s pocket.
Alan CritchlowLet’s get this back to the British people and run properly.
Paul Curtis, LondonPrivatisation: an exercise in selling to the public that which they already own.
Rita Cocking, PlymouthThe railways have been going downhill since the days of the dreaded Dr Beeching. Why should we be the only country that has to pay over the odds to travel by rail?
Lauren Heywoor, CoventryThrough nationalisation we can ensure that money is invested back into our transport infrastructure, and that ticket price and service provided are suitable for all.
Nicholas Harding, ChippenhamWe must bring back British Rail. It makes sense and is the way forward.
Richard Miller, LondonNo spam please.
Mark Brophy, North WalshamFar from being efficient, privatisation has led to bad use of funds and profits for shareholders at the expense of the travelling public. Bring back British Rail.
David John Tyas, HolmfirthPlease bring back British Rail or British Railways as it was called.
Chris Tucker, BristolNationalised services for the common good should be preferred over shareholder profit for the privileged few.
Alec Murdoch, EdinburghThe expensive mess has gone on too long.
David SmithLess hassle……people not profit.
Ryan Thompson, SheffieldGive the people their Railways.
Billie Reynolds, ReadingBritish Rail was a public asset which has been given to private companies to exploit to make profit. Bring it back into public ownership now.
Carrie Machin, Stoke-on-TrentMy other half works for a subcontractor for Network Rail and is mistreated and unhappy with how they are treated both in and out of work.
Vanessa Martin, BrightonBring back national railways to be proud of. Get us to work on time with a seat. And a clean safe journey for a reasonable price.
Jaime Warne, LondonTime to re-nationalise. Private rail is another example of the horrible public impact of right wing economic policy. It was very obviously never going to work.
Alistair Madden, Walton-on-ThamesTrain prices are far too high.
Jen Hall, ManchesterThe UK is a horrible anomaly in the world. Public transport should be affordable for everyone. Let’s re-nationalise our rail and put people and the planet above profit.
Michele Smith, Melton MowbrayThe countries which run the best train services are owned, or part-owned by their governments – e.g. Switzerland, Germany.
Paul Baskeyfield, Church StrettonEnd the crazy ticket price lottery and bring back direct trains from Shrewsbury to London.
Samuel Joshua, LondonBring back British Rail, please.
