Derek Ansell, ClactonBring it back.
Michael Rowland-Hill, OrpingtonBritish Rail means getting there on time and at a fair price. Bring back what should never have gone.
Derek Lowe, KnaresboroughEast Coast line is encouraging if it could be reproduced throughout the network.
Jason Leyton, LondonStop the fares rip-off.
Jessie Treverton, BrightonRail travel is sustainable and reduces pollution and traffic. It should be cheap.
Alexander Camkin, RedditchJust bring back the way it used to be, efficient, reasonable prices. Above all else it should be state-owned, by the people for the people and not for private profit.
Helen Perks, KidderminsterAgreed: we need a proper workable rail network asap…
Adrian Wood, BridportLet us all join together and have this mess sorted out once and for all.
Robert McDonald, UxbridgeA co-ordinated, state-run railway system has got to be better than the overpriced mess we currently have.
AngusRailways should be run for the benefit of the passengers and not the operators.
David Bacon, SheffieldBringing British Rail back into the public domain is a no brainer. A state owned system would cost less and profits would go to the nation.
Anthony Protheroe, BourneI want to see all the railways back nationalised.
Gerard Neill, LondonThe South East Region needs longer trains all the time, not just a few during peak hours.
Katrina Dorman, LiverpoolIt’s simply not possible to deliver effective services to stakeholders whilst maximising profits for shareholders. All the evidence available proves this point. BBBR.
Simon Reading, SheffieldLet’s save public money by having a nationalised railway.
Theodora Ford, ColchesterTransport is a vital service. It cannot be left in the hands of a disjointed collection of private concerns who’s first priority is to make a profit at our expense.
Bradley Ruben, IlfordBritish Rail had class. British rail had its own recognisable railway uniforms. There are too many names now. The name Britain is lost from the industry.
Andrew Heathman, WiganIt is totally unacceptable for Arriva to stop services from Wigan to Manchester Oxford Road, Piccadilly and Manchester Airport with no consultation whatsoever.
Margaret Pedley, HuddersfieldNationalise the railways. It’s the only way forward.
Jim Gavine, DundeeLet’s make a start by opposing the re-privatisation of East Coast and getting Miliband and co to support accordingly.
Michael Dawson, South ShieldsLike all things that work better as a monopoly, it should be under common ownership.
Hannah Davies, BasingstokeI can’t even afford to visit my friends in Woking, even though it’s such a short journey. These prices are obscene.
Stewart Bramman, DoncasterThe railways are farcical. Stop this fragmented system and bring back common sense.
Jacqui Jones, ChertseyBritish Rail. It says it in the name. British – and need I say more?
Joe Meredith, RiscaPublic ownership is in the people’s best interest to have a system that everyone can depend on.
David Cuthbert, WinscombeThe railways should not have been privatised in the first place. The subsidies are a ludicrous price to pay when there is no ownership by the taxpayer.
Beth Moseley, NorwichBring back British Rail.
Chiara Knott, NottinghamJourneys are too expensive. And why do I have to pay to use the toilet? This is a violation of my human rights I’m certain.
Ian Shaw, BrightonPrivatisation of the railways has completely failed the nation.
Lorraine Martland, Milton KeynesWe need to bring the railways back to the people. It’s getting so that we can’t afford to go to work.
