In UK public transport and trains are more expensive than cars. This is the incredible paradox of privatisation.

Francesco Anselmo, Watford

Re-nationalise all utilities and services.

Steven Traynor, Redcar

Our fragmented rail system does not work. Bring back a National Transport System.

Christine Ogilvie, Bexley

This system of privatisation is not working. It’s just greed followed by a poor service.

Brian Hurst, Mansfield

One of the very worst privatisations. It makes no economic sense from either side of the political divide. Make public transport something to be proud of again.

Aaron Bliss, Oxfordshire

Rail needs to be subsidised by the government. Prices have become ridiculous when compared to incomes, and inflation. As a tax payer I feel, used and abused.

Jacqueline Wilson, Herne Bay

Save East Coast from privatisation.

Joan Maclellan, Edinburgh

Rail, and other essential services, need to be run for public benefit not for private profit.

Dave Miles, Nottingham

Do the right thing and re-nationalise the railways. Everyone is fed up with the standard of service and price increases. It’s not working.

Andrew Ritchie, Peterborough

I’m sick to death of funding shareholders’ lifestyle over service.

Damian Toal, Brighton

Public services are becoming a system of exploitation against the people who must use them, and in fact work for them.

Eleni Stavrou, Derby

We deserve cheaper prices. Everything is going up except wages.

Martha Vale, Hereford

British transport for the people instead of being motivated by profit.

David Page

Fair rail fares for all.

Sam Perry, York

UK private enterprise failed the motor industry, steel and chemicals – now all successful in foreign ownership with British workers. We deserve to own our railways.

Jim Dodds, Newton Aycliffe

Bring back public ownership.

Janette Kerr, Coleford

More than just British rail should be brought back in to public ownership in my mind.

Matthew Harris, Newport

The sooner the better.

David Phillips, Eastbourne

An efficient and reasonably priced rail network is fundamental to getting cars off the road. This should be an important resource for the people not to be run for private profit.

Lisa Brooks, Maidstone

We’re held to ransom with poor services which are heavily subsidised and with no choice. How is privatisation a benefit?

Barry McNulty, Lewes

Bring back British Rail and stop mega-finance making money out of essential services.

Pauline Rendall, Colchester

Ditch the profiteering privateers and re-nationalise.

Amanda Wickwar, London

East Coast is the best example of why it should be brought back.

John Carrington, Liverpool

British Rail days were far better.

Frank Nicholas Adam

British Rail was good, but it did leave room for improvement. Some of that came with the sharp edge of privatisation but then the sharks came in.

Patricia Fort, Glasgow

Privatisation has lost the unique ’rounded’ service previously provided by lifelong railway workers with cross department co-operation and were ‘proud to belong’.

Tom Cloughton, Darlington

I couldn’t agree more with the sentiment of this campaign.

Judd Harrison, Cambridge

Railways run for people not profit.

Christopher Madden, Liverpool

Why do you and I have to subsidise a private company to make profits for its owners? It’s madness.

Philip Lowe, Whitley Bay

Public transport, the energy companies, the water services, postal and the prison/probation services should never be in private hands run for the profit of shareholders.

Robert Michael Dobbing, Doncaster
