Mark Harrison, IlkleyWe need a unified publicly-run rail service.
Rich May, GloucesterI myself believe now is the time for British Rail to become National Rail again.
Lloyd Jackson, HullHull’s train links are awful and overpriced.
David Jaggs, BillingtonI’m wholeheartedly behind this campaign.
Deirdre Carlisle, DumfriesYes please – a properly joined-up rail network service.
David Catanach, NewarkA railway network is for the country’s needs, not shareholders’ greed.
Harry Willoughby, WellsBritish trains are deplorable for their service and prices. We need to compete with our European peers.
Trevor Payling, MexboroughWe’re not getting value for money. The rolling stock is ageing and decrepit.
Judy Steele, Leamington SpaPrivate ownership doesn’t work for passengers. And re-nationalise buses, energy and the post office as well.
Timi Horwell, LondonSouthwest Trains are horrible.
Phil Gwyn, CardiffWe need a government which is radical enough to make the changes needed throughout the numerous Industries butchered by previous Thatcher – like governments.
LorenzoCan another government – Spain, France, Switzerland or Germany – run it next time and they have a better track record.
Graeme Holland, DerbyEx-driver now overhead line electrification manager.
Dr A R Greenway, TeddingtonWe have a rubbish railway system unworthy of a great country – which invented railways! And all thanks to grossly incompetent and dogma-driven Tory policies and practice.
Clifford Salmon, LlanfyrnachBring back the old branch lines as well.
Judith Lee, CleckheatonThe only way is for the network to be public.
Ryan Virgo, OxfordI’ve been using the railway for 14 years. Over the past four years my weekly ticket has gone from £104 to £129. All we see is these private companies making extortionate profits.
Joseph Bown, ChesterfieldThe East Coast line has proved that it can work and would work. Also they should kick this high speed rubbish in touch as well.
Adam Tong, KidderminsterMonopolies are illegal in every other form of business – but on the trains that’s fine, let them charge us through the nose for pitiful services that don’t get better.
Cassy Firth, LeedsWords fail me.
Anne Debens, CheshuntIt should never have been privatised.
Matthew Boynton, CoventryThe railway should be for people not for profit.
Lyndon Bent, HullStop the massive waste of public subsidies to private companies. Let the parasites run the trains out of their own profits or re-nationalise them. Let them be publicly owned.
Andrew Iddenden, AldershotA government decision that was incredibly misguided and influenced by greed and corruption.
Michael Thompson, DoncasterIt’s about time taxpayers stopped subsidising railways so private firms take profits. East Coast rail has proved that public ownership equals profit for taxpayers.
Trevor Waywell, BedfordLet’s get back to passenger service again, getting away from chaos and utter stupid timetables and confused punters.
Courtenay TurnerTransport, like healthcare and education, is something all our people require to succeed in life. Privatisation has disadvantaged certain regions for too long now.
Ade Cross, WokinghamRun trains for the people.
Victoria Benson, Shoreham-by-SeaI would love a transport system that is as good as the systems in most of Europe.
Jamie Couldridge, TonbridgeI’m a daily commuter on the trains and lately all there is are delays. I think if I pay for a service I should get good service for what I’m paying.
