Ian Shaw, CotgraveI am not a socialist, but believe the railway system and utilities should be in public ownership.
Shelley Mulholland, SheffieldPrivatisation just hasn’t delivered.
James Martin, WickfordA long-suffering Abellio Greater Anglia customer.
Valerie Price-West, LlanybydderWe need to start taking control of what we have in the country instead of letting out to foreign ownership.
Scott Adair, GlasgowAll public transport and the Royal Mail should be publicly owned and never sold.
Richard Trotman, PenistonePrivatisation has been an unmitigated disaster for the passenger, the taxpayer, the railway network and British manufacturing.
Alan Bowers, LiverpoolTrains for people not for profit.
Aud Jones, LeicesterFar too expensive and people getting rich on the back of it. Let’s subsidise and bring down prices, not make fat cats richer.
Owen Smithson, HornseaFor people not for profit.
Colin Ives, WiganThe privatisation has been a sham and a travesty.
Steve Cowie, InvernessThe present structure is not working for the customers’ benefit. All it does is make the private rail companies loads of excessive profits.
Keith Mackley, LeedsDoesn’t the government listen to the voters nowadays?
Fred Potter, DundeeIt should never have been privatised. We are allowing the rail companies to rip us off in return for poor services.
Roger Semmens, PenzanceIt would be a damn sight more reliable in giving a better service instead of lining someone’s pocket.
Mark Hyne, LiskeardSpeaks for itself
Robert Slater, Herne BayNationalise the entire rail system, permanently.
Justin Cryer, Weston-super-MareBritish Railwas more publicly orientated and less just out for profit. It just makes for an awful railway system.
Shirley Clough, BlackpoolBring back British Rail to save our railways.
Paul Collinson, ShildonBring it back. Give all of us contractors working away some job security and let us shine to our full potential instead of being stuck as shovel monkeys.
Stephen Garratt, CoulsdonI am very lucky that I am now retired and don’t have to spend a king’s ransom on going to work on public transport.
Janet Groundsell, Isle of WightTransport is vital and would be preferable in the public interest rather than big business.
Alan Martin, Weston-super-MareFor the sake of convenience, and especially for those travellers who have to travel across country, let’s get tickets through one organisation.
Christopher Irvine, LancasterAs a Scottish student I like being able to travel home once in a while, but even with a railcard it can cost over £50 one way. This has to be reduced.
Nicholas Seivewright, DartfordI completely agree.
Sheepa Ahmed, LondonThey are ripping us off.
Pauline Pallavicini, BirminghamAt least it would be accountable to the voter/user. London Midland is a service for anyone but the paying passenger.
Glyn Roberts, LondonI love train travel and see it as an essential public service – not a private business. A nationalised rail network makes perfect sense.
Alan Bond, WatchetRailway privatisation is proof of the saying ‘bullshit baffles brains’. Lies and propaganda from the railway industry crooks are not acceptable any more.
Scott Smith, GlasgowShould be in public ownership for future generations to benefit, not shareholders.
Elizabeth Collier, LiverpoolA nationalised rail system in Britain would bring more efficient service for customers. In addition workers would be proud to work for the good of people not profit.
