Lerone Rose, PeterboroughIf it’s not broke don’t try and fix it. The government should never have privatised the railways. Bring back the slam door train too.
Paul Whiteley, HullRe-nationalise, the sooner the better.
Iva Ellis, ChesterfieldLet’s reclaim at least one of our national bodies from big business and foreign investors.
Steph Withey, WorcesterRegular commuter
James Westfield, WokinghamI have had to grow up with the shambles of a railway system that remains today. It’s time to re-nationalise, to make fares cheaper and give Britain a railway to be proud of.
Martin Spence, PengeGive us back our railways – you know it makes sense.
Michael Goodings, SheffieldPrivatisation has brought no significant investment in the trains. Nationalise and put the profits back into the system.
Keith Dredge, BradfordEven the Tories are now saying the 1990s privatisation was wrong.
David McCormack, HinckleyPrivatisation brings too many fat cast and fewer jobs.
Julian Boyce, NottinghamEast Cost Rail worked, so can the rest.
Jack Pearce, StaffordIt is increasingly clear that the time has come to fix this problem, to stop the ideological war on common sense by right wingers and start creating a proper railway.
Christopher Flack, LondonFirst Capital Connect are the worst. Bring back BR.
Pam Fullarton, KentI work within the rail industry and feel British Rail was the best – and would be again.
Mike Nightingale, CardiffTake back what we built.
Sean Rathbone, CarlisleI’m sick and tired of being ripped off through privatisation, which is theft.
Ian Clark, NorthamptonFormer apprentice with BRML.
Nicholas Hayes, DurhamPeople’s daily commute shouldn’t be left to free market greed.
Heather White, SouthportMake train travel easy and cheap again.
Christopher Main, LanarkshireThe current system is a joke. The services don’t join up, leaving an inconsistent customer experience and expensive tickets. Get it together!
Alison Webster, BanwellWe used to own the whole network, until it was stolen by the Tories and sold.
Garreth Maguire, PrestatynWe need railways that are owned by the state and public passengers and freight. They should never have got rid of British Rail and we want it back.
Susan Power, BrightonAlso, please bring back the T-shirt. It’s a good way of generating comment and raising awareness. Thanks.
Will Miller, LondonI commute on Southeastern and they are useless.
Trev Davis, GloucesterThis would stop us being ripped off by all the different train companies and the profits staying in this country.
Ryan Kendall, LancasterThere is no need for competition in railways. People will get whichever train arrives when they are at the station, not which is cheaper.
Keith Bryant, SandownLet’s bring to an end the privatised fiasco that provides the worst service for the highest fares in Europe.
Jan Halligan, HolmfirthPublic transport should be a service, not a business.
Callum Brady, EssexNeed to stop the thieving foreign owned train companies holding commuters to ransom with overpriced fares and a dismal service.
Paul Clarkson, BrighouseI pay over £2000 per year for my train ticket to Manchester. We’re stacked in like cattle, no straw, always late. Public transport is a public service, so take it back.
Peter Edmunds, LiverpoolWith over 13 billion pounds going out of the country annually because of privatisation for the profits of a few shareholders, how can we not afford to re-nationalise?
