EMR have been so unreliable that a two hour journey now very often becomes five hours. They monopolise the service that is run for profit not passengers. We need better.

Clare Jennings, Nottingham

We must stop treating the railways as a way of filling private pockets with taxpayers’ cash.

Brian Binns, Harrogate

Southern Rail are useless and expensive.

Alex Rolfe-Sanders, London

Absolutely brilliant campaign, but get the old logo the correct way round please.

Andrew Bosmans, Doncaster

Anything that gets privatised gets run for profit and then profit becomes the most important thing instead of what it was intended for.

Chris Daly, Gomshall

It has become so expensive to catch the train, even with a railcard. Its cheaper for me to drive. Something needs to change.

Jazmine Wileman, St Austell

All profits should go back into the railway not into private investors’ pockets. Railways should be subsidised and for the people not the wealthy.

Mark Lauri, Reading

Railways should be returned to state ownership.

Lorraine Byrne, Epsom

All for this. People not profit.

James Lewis, Chester

Application of honest good sense on this matter is long overdue.

John Butler, Strabane

It’s time the politicians let the railways be run by railwaymen and stop interfering in the day-to-day running of the railways.

Paul Green, Oxford

Privatisation is almost always a rip-off for consumers.

Carol Hills, Stockton

We need sensible integration and investment.

Rosemary Rayner, Colchester

I want a nationalised railway that uses public money to provide a service for the public – not to make profits for company shareholders.

Deborah McIlveen, Oxford

Unified operations, coherent fares please.

J Anslow, Manchester

It’s a diabolical service and they don’t care about the passengers, but useless top managers are paid millions.

Mike Kirwan, Nottingham

BR wasn’t great but at least their heart was in the right place.

Andy Padgham, London

Renationalise the railways for the benefit of passengers, employees, and the public now.

Phillip Derisi, London

The present system is costing the taxpayer more than British Rail did.

David Hunt, Nottingham

The current system is uniquely stupid. Dogma should not be the starting point for delivering such a vital public service.

Noel Inge, Harrold, Beds

As a ex BR worker I would like BR to come back as I would like to work for BR again.

Jim Pratt, Edinburgh

It feels as if it’s all disintegrated. Make it function properly by joining up the pieces.

Sylvia Webb, Sunbury

Re-nationalise the railways and save our transport infrastructure for future generations to develop and improve.

Charlotte Sharpe, Frome

Another wonderful institution built by the people for the people. Keep it decent. Keep it affordable!

Vivienne E Heatley, London

Bringing British Rail back into the public domain is a no brainer. A state owned system would cost less and profits would go to the nation.

David Bacon, Sheffield

The railways should be run for the benefit of everyone, not just for a few shareholders. The huge tax-payer subsidies are going straight into their pockets. It’s a rip-off.

Steve McCarthy, St Albans

Yes to re-nationalisation, but I do think they should be run for profit, with profits used for re-vamping our railway lines and stations, future and for re-opening lines.

Patrick Spain, Milton Keynes

It’s cheaper for me to travel to London by car than it is to go by train. Plus I get a seat as opposed to sitting on the floor like my last two journeys.

Mohammed Ali, Birmingham

A complete and utter shambles caused by incompetent and corrupt politicians.

Stephen Riley, Cleveland

Thank you for initiating the movement.

Wina Yaman, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
