Alison Smith, HoveTicket prices are now so high that they will force commuters off the trains. Please re-nationalise the railways and run them as a public service.
Robert Davies, DurhamThe public need to take control again or you will end up like the roads, in dire straits.
Christine & Vic Taylor, NottinghamBring back BR, and just manage it properly – you don’t need private firms for that.
Nick Barnett, HoveBR was proper railways.
Eve Wallis, BirminghamNationalise the railways, privatisation has failed as was predicted. Public money for friends of the Tories!
Maureen Cooper, LondonThe railways need good management in the nationalised sector with the capacity to raise funds to make improvements.
John Birbeck, YorkWhat a mess.
Michael Newman, ChelmsfordBring back BR now.
Mark Pullen, RipleyI totally agree with bringing British Rail back. Instead of rail being in corporate hands, give it back to the people.
Colin Farlow, ExeterLong overdue.
Matthew Griffin, GillinghamI’m fed up with high prices, illogical fares and poor, unprofessional service.
Jeanette Harold, ConsettNational transport should belong to the nation.
Mike Hellyer, LondonWhat does ‘peak time’ even mean? So I have to pay more, but it’s highly likely I might not even get on my train, let alone get a sea. It should be the complete opposite.
Howard Sanders, CrawleyThis situation is inefficient and costly. West Coast would be better off in state hands.
Emily Ormerod, OxfordRe-nationalise British Rail and re-connect with the bus timetable so that people can plan an entire journey as we used to.
John Stephens, Welwyn Garden CityOur railways belong to us. They should not be run for profit other than to raise money to improve the service. We gave the railways to the world, now we want ours back.
Lee Rowles, HolywellAll the privatised utility and transport industries must be brought back into public ownership – particularly the NHS.
Chris Hardy, CheshireRe-nationalise British Rail and give us our reliability back.
Rob Jones, PenmaenmawrThe UK rail service has never been so disorganised, with so many prices available for the same journey depending on when and how you buy a ticket.
Asher Coleman, LowestoftBring back British Rail. I’m tired of the poor service, dirty trains, unhelpful staff and expensive travel. You want us off the roads? Make our trains are better.
Martin Coupe, NottinghamThis should be the start of re-nationalising of all the srrvices, including power suppliers.
Mellory Darlington, BurntwoodThe present system is chaos.
Rich Fisher, BristolIt must be done properly, and that means taking ownership of all the track, rolling-stock, infrastructure etc.
Joe Cottrill, DeganwyBring them back.
Susan Bayley, DerbyTrain fares are way too high, especially if you want to travel on a Friday. Why?
Mike Smith, Newcastle upon TyneBring back British Rail – all is forgiven.
Gemma Brown, BristolAs a daily commuter, most of the time I’m crushed on entrance. I wouldn’t mind if it was cheap, but it’s not. It’s fast becoming a rich boy’s means of travel..
Patrick Vaughan, Welwyn Garden CityAnd re-nationalise all the utilities.
Richard Symonds, BroadstairsEast Coast is beating all the private companies. The best European networks are state-owned. Private rail is dear and dangerous.
Alan King, EdinburghFragmentation has wasted money on in-fighting instead of delivering a fully integrated service for business and families.
