Arthur Bostrom, ManchesterI look for joined-up thinking on the railways where trains with enough seats for all can be achieved once more. With privatisation there’s no incentive.
Sophia Stravoravdis, WokingBecause I can’t afford to travel for work or to go and see family and friends.
Gary Hilsdon, BrightonWe should not be making money out of people in this way.
Lee Dalton, WeymouthUtilities should belong to the people.
Barry Gallego, RochesterWe are fed up with paying high rise prices for these greedy rail bosses. The trains never get you on time. Bring back British Rail.
Rachel Bourne, Newport PagnellTrain tickets now include profit for shareholders. Re-nationalising will reduce the cost of travel or the money could be used to improve services. (Not HS2 though.)
Ian Carnew, BristolKeep up the good work.
Christine Maloney, RomfordDefinitely bring it back. I’m just fed up hearing about these price hikes all the time.
Patrick Turner, LondonHaving numerous private rail companies did not work in the 19th century and still does not work in the 21st century.
Liam Arthur, WallingtonBring back order, fair fares and proper trains.
Kristian Ramsingh, HatfieldBring back National Rail.
David Secker, EalingWe need to get the Labour and Lib Dem view on this. Of course do not forget. The Green Party. I am pretty sure which side they are on. Forget about the Tories.
Nick Thomas, TelfordFor cheaper tickets and a joined-up service.
Marcus Coupe, EgremontEast Coast is the most successful franchise now while two private operators couldn’t make it work.
Fred Bridgland, EdinburghEast Coast Rail is great and easy to deal with. A government with imagination would let it compete against the privatised companies and see who performed best.
Peter Tatchell, LondonPublic services should be under public ownership and control – not for private profit.
Russ Gladwish, NorwichPublic ownership for public services.
Chris Frost, LondonBring back the rail industry into public ownership.
Paul Wheeler, StaffordLast train from Birmingham to Stafford on a Saturday night is 10.35. This is 2017, this is the future, not 1918. A system that works for the customers not the shareholders please.
Dan Burman, ChichesterEssentials like travel networks and utilities shouldn’t be monopolised by corporations, but run by the British people.
Stephen Riley, ClevelandA complete and utter shambles caused by incompetent and corrupt politicians.
Glen Turner, WarringtonThe Tory sell-off of the UK infrastructure has not worked. It’s time to get it back.
Brian Cobb, Newton AbbotWhat a mess.
A Donakey, DevonI have put up with appalling service for the last few years on my commute. Shame on these private companies putting profit before passengers.
Celia Laverick, StanleyPut British Rail back together. Run it with a management separate from MPs but scrutinized by auditors.
Martin Maguire, SwintonNationalise them. Get rid of the robber barons and get back to fair fares and decent rolling stock.
Paul Hegarty, HuddersfieldRe-nationalise the railways, and cherish them the way other countries do.
Kieran Wardle, LondonI believe that infrastructure vital to a nation should be owned and run by (and for) that nation, not for private profit.
Colin FlowerdayNationalisation is the only choice we have now, as we did when British Railways first came into being in 1948.
Oliver Wordsworth, SheffieldFor all the people, all the time – public transport should be a basic right, not an unreliable luxury.
