Allan J Douglas, ForfarPeople before profits and release the congestion on Britain’s roads.
Terry Davies, TelfordPassengers not profit, just as it should be patients and not profit in the NHS. Give us back our assets.
Jim Fisher, LutonPrivatisation of major public services is an excuse to pass public money to the rich at the expense of the majority.
James Cotgrave, BirminghamRail transport should never be run for private profit. Re-nationalise the whole rail network and its infrastructure now!
Paul Hutchins, ExeterStriving to make Britain Great again.
Maureen Taft, EastbourneThe free market has not worked, so let’s get back to what did.
Dan Gifford, MachynllethGerman rail allows two 48 hour stop-overs within one long distance ticket. I don’t think that could happen with the complexity of our rail system, and theirs is cheaper.
David Jones, Connah’s QuayI’ve just returned from Hamburg where I’ve been working for nine months. Trains, buses and ferry services are second to none, all on time and a fair pricing structure.
Keith Knutton, HolmfirthPrivatisation equals backhanders.
Stephen Holmes, WakefieldThe privatisation of an integrated railway system has been a failure. It has brought nonsensical fare structures. Many trains are simply not fit for purpose.
Darren StraceyPlease bring it back. Ticket prices are way too high and over-crowded trains. More rolling stock is needed.
Judith Reynolds, SheffieldWe are subsidising private railways for private profit. Let’s re-nationalise for public benefit.
George Grant, BurbageRail is a public service and should be publically owned.
Rob Flint, NottinghamGreat campaign. Thanks for pushing it.
Dennis Warwick, Burley-in-WharfedaleI grew up with the Labour Party in the 1940s. We knew what was best for Britain. Public ownership of our railways is still a vital necessity.
Sue Smith, CullomptonThe railways, water, gas, electricity and every other public service that has been privatised should be brought back.
Mark Leech, MossleyI use the Northern Rail Huddersfield to Manchester Victoria line. It has an appalling punctuality record, and customer service leaves me frustrated.
Tristram Hall, LondonI find it absolutely astonishing that rail fares continue to rise yet little change is made.
Stan Laight, SheffieldPrivatisation of our railways has been a disaster. Our railways belong in the hands of workers.
Phillip Challinor, WarringtonPlease re-nationalise our national rail. Privatisation has been a shambles and our rail system is an embarrassment, despite the contrary claims of the rail companies.
Dave Simms, Yeovil.This must stop. The operators want to make a private profit. When there’s a loss in the offing they hand the keys back. Private profit – public losses.
Peter Horne, LondonBring it back.
Merrilyn Hambleton, WarringtonThe rail system needs to be nationalised again, and this time run properly for the people of Britain.
Leo Nikolaidis, BristolSurely there’s no-one who regularly uses the trains who thinks that the pricing is fair.
Glynis Fisher, BirminghamAll MPs should pay their own fares and not claim them on expenses. We just might see a different reaction from them then.
Richard Robinson, ScarboroughThe railways are subsidised, yet profit is made. Surely our public services should be no-for-profit?
Robert Ughes, WorthingEnough of the lying idiots not providing a service. Enough. Ask your Parliamentary Candidates.
Marrissa Nelson, ErithThe services we get are not worth the money we invest.
Gregor McIntosh, KirriemuirNationalisation is necessary to lower fares and make rail travel more affordable and attractive in the face of the climate crisis.
John Brunton, LondonWhen New Labour welched on its promise to re-nationalise in 1997, I knew something had gone wrong. It’s time to see the railways benefit people again.
