Andrew Roberts, WarringtonI hate this crappy rail system we have. Something needs to change.
Lynn Roberts, Tunbridge WellsI think that the railways are a utility and should be re-nationalised in order for the country to work smoothly, in a way which is fully integrated from North to South.
Susan Crawford, HarlowBring back British Rail and end the farce we are having to endure.
Marko Lauten, Hoechstenbach, GermanyPrivatisation is the wrong way – in Britain as well as in Germany. The last 20 years were enough.
Margaret McAlister, RotherhamIt costs more for the private companies to run the railway.
Lorraine Hewitt, Newcastle-upon-TyneWe need a cohesive reliable train service that is affordable to users. Privatisation has not worked.
Don Beattie, MiddlesbroughAbout bloody time, every rise in rail fares is subsidising profits for these fat cat owners in their own countries. Re-nationalise now.
Sean Hewitt, NottinghamRail privatisation is a disaster on every level.
Noel Hibbert, CoventryWe need a centrally owned, planned and co-ordinated rail network, with user friendly rail stations focussed on train travel not supermarkets.
Alan McDonald, CowdenbeathIt’s ours. The money-makers can’t run it right. Please give it back.
Mick Rix, NorthumberlandHow can they take away what is rightfully ours in the first place? It’s the same with everything else that has been sold off.
Lawrence Green, LewesPrivatisation was a travesty.
Callum Littlewood, HuddersfieldWhy not?
Tony Tyler, Letchworth Garden CityIt works so why mess it up again.
Adelle Heatley, NorthamptonSubsidies up, prices up and service way down.
Pavlina Kapickova, EdinburghI think fairer ticket fees would motivate more people/families to go and explore outdoor with all its great health benefits.
Rob Wardleworth, LondonLet’s go back to being passengers again, served by a railway service for the good of all.
Kay Davies, NantwichBring it back.
Lucy Caithness, LondonThe lack of communication between private network operators has left train journeys devoid of the human touch that it once had as British Rail.
Joy Wardell, ExeterThe railways are a mess. In the southwest we have one of the highest fares in the country. Bring back sense and coherence to the railways – re-nationalise.
John Peter Anderson, Newcastle-upon-TyneLet us see a genuine transport system made for the 21st Century. Britain is way behind Europe in rail travel. Think people not profit.
Neil Walker, GloucesterStop this creeping privatisation of everything.
David Doubleday, Darlington25 separate operating companies. The French think it is a joke. We have the most expensive rail journeys in Europe..
Joel Martinengo, CanterburyAs a student I cannot afford to pay over £40 for a next day return to London when I only live in Canterbury, an hour’s train journey away. It’s a disgrace.
William Paul, GuildfordCommon sense.
Christopher White, BristolLet’s show some courage and invest in public transport.
Christopher Wade, GrimsbyI believed then and I believe now that BR should never have been privatised. Everything I forecast would happen has come true.
Kaan Sahin, WiganBBBR.
Mathew Jackson, YorkLet’s re-nationalise, standardise and make the railways for the fare-paying public not the fat cat franchise management.
Mary Greer, LondonAs London gets more expensive to live in, more and more of us will have to commute, but £3,000-5,000 a year is totally ludicrous.
