Sonia Pollani, Horsted KeynesI will not use the train service until it is re-nationalised.
Andrew Cooper, WiganThe railways need to be brought back to the people.
Gareth Greenslade, BristolPublic money pouring into private pockets can only be justified if the private system worked better. It does not. So, please bring back state-owned British Rail.
Thomas Duggan, LeedsTrains are the blood of our country.
Timothy Wilson, DundeeEast Coast is better now than it has been for years.
Andrew Sherwin, BathOur basic infrastructure should always belong to and be run for the benefit of the people of the United Kingdom.
Natasha Pickering, StranraerThey should never have been privatised in first place. The state of trains now is shocking and prices are ridiculous.
Henriette McPartlin, MissionPublic transport is more sustainable.
Owen Smith, LondonTerrible service, abysmally stupid staff, under-trained over-paid lackeys.
Tony Pattison, LeedsToo complicated, too many separate tickets. Keep it simple.
Roger Allen, LondonA publicly-run system can aim subsidy at fare reduction and infrastructure. As it is, shareholders take large chunks for whatever excessive profit is currently expected.
Chuck Elliot, SheffieldPrivatised railways make no sense. Competition is impossible within rail services. Nationalisation is the only sensible policy.
Rebecca Rimmer, NewburyI cannot remember the last time I had an enjoyable journey on a train in this country. Too busy, ridiculous prices, always delayed, missed connections. It’s a joke.
John Greig, EdinburghNationalise the rail network.
Edward Jeavons, CardiffThe ridiculous cost of rail travel is now pricing ordinary people out of this form of transport, causing traffic chaos and more damage to the environment.
Andrew Drasar, StainesRe-nationalise the railways ASAP. They should never have been privatised.
Kether Eaglestone, LondonNationalise the railways now.
Debbie Goldsmith,I commute weekly to University and if I wasn’t lucky enough to have a sponsor how would I afford it? Transport is a necessity for all, not a luxury.
Andrew Appleyard, OldhamAll public transport networks and systems should be run as not-for-profit, and all should either be re-nationalised or re-regulated whichever it is under.
David Williamson, BicesterNational infrastructure should not be privately owned.
Mike Domingue, HexhamIt would be great to also see improvements to rolling stock used on regional services like here on the Carlisle to Newcastle line.
Gordon Lee, Hemel HempsteadBring back BR.
Susan Anderson, DoncasterWe are great when we create
Anne Johnson, SelbyMake sure it is run like East Coast is now.
Barbara Bell, DoncasterBring back British Rail.
Rob Gray, LondonBring back the love of travel and not the love of money.
Paul Hill, ColchesterThatcher’s scum children will one day be shown by the people of this country that we come before their all-engrossing profits, which only benefit them and not us.
Christopher Marshall, HeanorBring BR back.
Gillian Anson, LetchworthI remember the days of British Rail and would like to see them return.
Brian Finn, CardiffNot for profit organisation would keep the greed and corruption at bay.
