Sack Southern and Claire Perry.

Nicola Laing, Haywards Heath

I want full nationalisation.

Pamela Cooke, Sheffield

Privatisation has given us a very expensive and inefficient way of travelling. It never worked and never will.

Peter Dillon, Sheffield

Power to the people.

Charlie Burgess, Eastbourne

Give us back the good old days.

Dorothy Braithwaite, Blackburn

I fully support the re-nationalisation of the railways.

Adam Wildash, Ash

We’ve just had enough – 10 years too much.

Jennifer David, Southend-on-Sea

East Coast line is profitable. Why change?

Norman Dodd, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Stop private companies drawing profits from assets that belong to us all.

Garry Goodwin, Watford

Public ownership is the only way forward for rail travel. Use East Coast as the template for success.

Marylin Potter, Leeds

I’ve had my fill of badly-run train services charging the earth.

Louise Lawrance, Shoreham-by-Sea

The railways in the UK need to be brought into the 21st century. We need paperless, at cost, reliable travel, not the confusing, expensive and inefficiency we now have.

Ellen Blakemore, Brighton

This is no way to run a railway. Simplify, unify, make it cheaper, get cars off the road.

Joanna Dunn, Nottingham

The rail network has become a cash cow for multi-national corporations. Any profits should be spent on improving the infrastructure.

Roy Davis, Caerphilly

It’s shameful that the railways were privatised. Stop profiteering and give it back to the people now.

David Goodby, Welwyn Garden City

The private companies have been ripping off customers for years.

Martyn Meacham, Aberdare

The Labour Party’s weak response to this magnificent campaign is not nearly enough. Nothing less than full re-nationalisation of our railway system will do. Fat cats out.

Susie Riggott, Southampton

It’s time to end privatisation. As each franchise ends, return it to a public run railway at no cost to taxpayers.

David Zipfell, King’s Lynn

I wanted (even expected) that John Prescott might achieve this when the Blair government got in. I’m still waiting and hoping.

Janet Russell, Silsden

I’m honoured to sign.

Olivia Sykes, Huddersfield

Bring back British Rail. All is forgiven.

Desiree Muller, London

I’d rather go by train than drive, but the sad fact is the car is far cheaper, even when proportionally factoring in initial price, tax, insurance, fuel and depreciation.

Pete Williams, Southampton

Yes, bringing back British Rail would be a good idea.

M T, London

It’s time to put it back where it belongs.

Andy Black, Edinburgh

Railways too important to be left to private profit. Bring back British Rail.

Brian Newbold, Oakham

Fares are a rip-off. They should be reduced and charged on a mile-on-mile basis regardless of route.

Kenneth Marshall, Spalding

Dismantling British Rail has led to chaos.

Bill Tasker, Liverpool

Nationalise the railways.

Linda Long, London
