Nicola Shepherd, AltonRe-nationalise and invest in a national rail service.
Marianne Bennett, MilnthorpeThe nuclear industry is in public ownership and we pay over and over. The railway system should be in public ownership.
John Medley, MaidenheadThe railways should be run as a public service.
Alan Boyland, SouthamThe current railway system does not offer effective competition or serve its customers well, while funds are creamed off for private profit.
Steph Withey, WorcesterRegular commuter
Jean Scott, BristolSixty years ago I travelled by train in my city. We had no cars. Bristol was more beautiful pleasant city – no clogging traffic. Give us back rail networks and fair fares.
David Knight, EynshamI heard about the campaign on BBC Radio 4 Today Programme 27 Aug 2016. Good luck.
Joshua Outen, Milton KeynesWe need to bring the railway back to the people who can make the track for the next generation… Bring back British Rail.
Luca Jeffery, RotherhamI’d love to see the old 91s and also the old locos back and also nice to see some new BR AC/DC locos.
Georgy Davis, EdinburghI’m tired of expensive rail travel.
Helen Thompson, LondonRe-nationalise British Rail and the NHS, Post Office and do not privatise the probation service.
Nicholas Parry, ColchesterBring back British Rail.

John Hogg, Co. DurhamBring back clause 4 and scrap new labour.
Gary Skolik, HullI worked for British Rail and was pleased to serve passengers (not customers. End the market pantomime now.
Christine Gooddy, BoltonI’ve noticed changes already. Where was our referendum on this?
Frances Crane, CoventryAt least if it is state-owned we know where the profits will go.
Tony Lansbury, MaidstoneIt costs a fortune to travel and the service is below par.
Edith Howse, PrudhoeOK to do this, but I want to see high standards – not sloppy the way it used to be.
Mark Williams, Alderley EdgeIt should never have been privatised.
Michael Lee, WorksopDo not wait for the franchises to run their course. Take them back into public ownership now.
Joan Innes, HuddersfieldIt has not benefited passengers having numerous rail companies, nor is it ethical for these to be profit-making, even though I myself might benefit through my pension.
Roy Eyley, FarnsfieldAbout time too.
Buckie Bhoy, DumbartonI use the train all the time and some of the fairs are unreal for long journeys. It costs me just over £20 for a return to Edinburgh from Dumbarton.
James Butler, NottinghamATOC’s greatest achievement is their complete disregard for the passengers. Hatred doesn’t even cover it.
Graeme Ritchie, CuparAs a former British Rail employee, I see the worst mistake ever was to privatise British Rail.
Roger Turner, MarkfieldThe privatised railways have been, and continue to be, a failure.
Brian Luck, BorehamwoodIt has become more obvious that a fragmented rail network is less efficient and more expensive to users.
Audaye Elesedy, ExeterSo much of the South West is isolated from rail, meaning that a huge proportion of our 3.5 million people are forced into the car. Public infrastructure can resolve this.
