Can’t be worse than the current situation.

John Delaney, Llandudno

The current state of the UK’s privatised rail systems exposes the gruesome lie that privatised everything is more efficient and delivers a better service. Re-nationalise.

Andrew Lambkin, Malvern

I cannot understand why there are only circa 26,000 signatures given the massive support for this campaign.

John Jones, Brecon

I actually reside in the US, but have friends in the UK, and have used the trains many a time. I’m all for decent travel.

Raymond Kerstetter, London

A privatised railway is bound to put profits before passengers and often safety is compromised for the sake of profits as well.

David Jackson, Nottingham

Power to the people.

Charles Burgess, Eastbourne

End the crazy ticket price lottery and bring back direct trains from Shrewsbury to London.

Paul Baskeyfield, Church Stretton

The fares are just ridiculous.

Ned Lane, Leeds

Milliband, remember what the Labour Party is about.

Geoff Merchant, Lancaster

Something has to be done about the shocking price of tickets.

Matthew Hagan, St Albans

The aim of the train system should be to make life easier for the public, not to make profit. Bring back British Rail..

Tasneem Ali, Edinburgh

good luck with Your campaign

Adam Hiley, Upminster

The rail network should be run for the people and any profits should be ploughed back into the system for the benefit of all, rather than as profit for shareholders

Ann Moynihan, Leighton Buzzard

I yearn for the day when British Rail comes back into public ownership. Only Jeremy Corbyn will pledge this.

Gay Whymark, Warwickshire

Follow the Deutsche Bahn example.

Chris Pittman, Swindon

I’ve never understood the argument that a private company can provide more at lower cost than a state-run service whilst still paying a dividend to shareholders.

Paul Selway, Manchester

Instead of senseless profit-driven competition we want safe, reliable public transport.

Michael Futers, Derby

Poor air quality is killing people. We need vehicles off our roads and only a thriving nationalised rail service will help.

Mark Gibson, Altrincham

Give us back our overpriced rail network.

Lee Roberts, Dartmouth

A fragmented Britain. It needs to be taken back into one company – British Rail. The utilities the same.

Andrew Baron, Ilkeston

The privatisation of BR was a politically motivated scorched earth policy. It provides very bad value for taxpayers and should be reversed.

Michael Armstrong, Thirsk

I work at a train station as a catering manager and I see the direct effect it has on the customers as the prices rise and the quality drops. Where are the benefits?

Mark Lobley, Leicester

One operator would make it easier when you require assistance. Wheelchair spaces vary in size on different operators.

Pablo Rees, Swansea

We have suffered for far too long with an inadequate and exorbitantly overpriced rail service. Year on year we pay more for a service that is failing us at every corner.

Alice Lucas, Brighton

The answer to the failure of privatisation is not more privatisation.

Steven Palmer, Swansea

Britain’s railways should be publicly owned and operated for the benefit of the country and not for shareholders.

Andy Maltby, Cambridge

For the taxpayer not the shareholder.

Karl Madert, London

As a rail enthusiast and volunteer on the railway I have been fortunate enough to hear stories of what life for both passengers and employees of the railways was and it sounded great.

Jordon Skinner, Poole

We need a rail service that benefits its passengers. We need British Rail back.

Amanda Bouskill, Swinton
