Return what you have taken from us. Make the public aware that they themselves could make the decisions which control policy directives, therefore eradicating faults.

Michael Hawkins, Barnsley

All sold-off businesses should be re-nationalised.

Vic Bagshaw, Stockport

It’s a disgrace at present.

Steve Barrett, Nottingham

British Rail should never have been privatised and, if at all possible, should be re-nationalised

Patricia Sever, Birmingham

Worsening services for more and more money.

J De Haart, London

The railways should be publicly run, publicly accountable, with profits ploughed back into the industry, not lining shareholders’ pockets.

Philip Blanksby, Derby

Passengers should be the only shareholders for BR.

Antony Dear, Watford

Stop bleeding money to overseas rail companies and use profits to make fares cheaper and the service better.

Sergio Seelochan, Nottingham

Bring it back. Things are a joke with these companies.

Paul Tiebout, London

The Great Train Robbery – the British privatised rail network.

Katie Goodwin, Tadley

Major had no business selling my railway to his friends. I want it back.

Gina Kirby, Leeds

I can’t believe that only the Green Party supported re-nationalisation. Why won’t Labour?

Dominic Martin, Lechlade

Please re-nationalise the railways.

Colin Naisbitt, Stockton-on-Tees

Great Campaign. I fully support its ideals The Tories deliberately ran the railways into the ground through lack of funding in order to convince the public to privatise.

Steven White, Hull

Re-nationalise the railways. They are for transport for all of the nation and should be nationally owned.

Barry Wilkinson, Aldershot

The railways are a complete joke. We need action as soon as possible. Worst railway in the world. How much more money can you bleed from the public pockets?

Nicky Edwards, St Albans

Horrendous company. Trains are too old, crowded and infrequent. They just want to take our money and invest nothing.

Stuart Francis, Cheshunt

Let’s have one company, our company, that can co-ordinate and keep things running smoothly, comfortably and cheaply.

Ann Matthews, Consett

Rail fares are too expensive. Trains don’t run on time. It’s overdue for a change.

Kathleen Russell, Wetherby

Commuting should be supported by a public service like power and water. Stop the money junkies taking over everything that once was part of social support for the citizen.

Graham Warwick, Colchester

Time to end this ridiculously wasteful and expensive experiment.

Andy McDougall, Hitchin

It’s time to end the naked profiteering of the privatised railways and run them for the benefit of those who use them.

Daniel Illingworth, Bradford

Travelling by train is expensive and often difficult to arrange. Bring back British Rail.

Marguerite Hegley, Lancaster

Passengers before profit.

Kara McCormack, Nairn

I’m supporting a travel system for all.

Andrew Bigby, London

British Rail was privatised entirely and knowingly for the benefit of private business at the public expense. We deserve better.

Alexandra Veres

A national service should be in place which is run efficiently and fairly, where profit is secondary to customer service.

David Rice, Ipswich

I’m sick of overpriced train fares. I think it’s disgusting that it is cheaper for people to go abroad than travelling round your own country.

Erin Pepper, Liverpool

20 years of above inflation price hikes and I’m travelling in trains, not properly cleaned, with broken dirty toilets.

Tina Comparini, Southampton
