More profits for public services, less to greedy shareholders.

Ann Bywater, Loughborough

I completely agree with this campaign. We should never have privatised what was originally a public service, as European companies are profiting instead of us.

Jacqui Lovell, Stockton-on-Tees

We all know that privatisation doesn’t work, time and time again.

Barry Hearn, Watford

I am against being charged over-priced/unregulated/random rail fares and for companies to operate systems that are confusing. The current system discourages rail travel.

Lina Peterson, London

Transport and infrastructure are fundamentals in any society. To leave them to market forces and the private sector is just irresponsible.

Colin Jones, Nottingham

Bring back joined-up railways and joined-up thinking on public transport.

Janet Forsyth, Edinburgh

I’ve recently used East Coast train service to Newcastle. It was on time, well early. Keep it in public ownership where all trains should be.

Jennifer Hunter, Norwich

A continued increase in price without a reciprocal increase in service and standards. This needs to change.

Liam McMillan, Brighton

Absolutely. Take our railways back! Common sense, surely? Urgent and so obvious now that we can clearly see the farrago that has emerged with privatisation.

Peter Moore, London

Trains are necessary infrastructure for the good of the nation so should not be left in the hands of those who would bleed them dry to maximise profit.

Robin Mallinson, Hatfield

Expensive, cumbersome, inadequate and a national disgrace – Britain’s privatised rail network. Follow the European model and bring back BR.

Anthony French, Doncaster

Privatisation has been a disaster, as with gas, electricity and water. The big rip-off.

Michael Lyons, Birmingham

As a musician that makes a small bit of extra pocket money on the side through busking in London I have been restricted by excessive and unreliable train fares.

Jack Theaker, Fleet

Let’s get people back on trains.

Martyn Williams, Nantwich

We are a not very big island in the Atlantic ocean The railways, like electricity and gas should be run by the nation for the nation. We don’t need corporate investors.

Sue Radford, York

Avanti is a mess, Virgin was a much better service in general.

Liam Brown, Liverpool

Transport should be owned by the people and for the people, not by the politicians’ banker mates.

Richard Harris, Crowborough

Let’s get cars off the road with affordable rail travel for all – an infrastructure investment.

Mark Vickers, Chippenham

They should never have been sold off.

Frances Airson, Sunderland

It’s about the only thing I agreed with Maggie on. It should never have been privatised.

David Hollingsworth, Bexhill on Sea

I am chair of Tyne and Wear public transport users’ group. This is a network of 15 organisations fighting for an integrated public transport system.

Vicki Gilbert, North Shields

Sixty years ago I travelled by train in my city. We had no cars. Bristol was more beautiful pleasant city – no clogging traffic. Give us back rail networks and fair fares.

Jean Scott, Bristol

Please come back. The privatised Abellio is appallingly bad and exceptionally overpriced.

Nicole Hopson, Braintree

Pointless instant gratification policy, shown to be a terrible decision.

Dan Bain, Perranporth

Some of the greatest trains ever run were designed and built under British Rail.

Mick McCann

It ain’t working so let’s fix it.

Jeff Sacree, Bude

Thatcher sold off most of the country now Cameron wishes to complete her mission!

Jamie Bramwell, Cheshire
