Gala Middleton, NewarkEast Coast Trains proved that public ownership works. How ridiculous to then sell it.
Mike Bellion, SedberghEfficient public transport is not a market product for customers to fight over. It is basic requirement of a prosperous and civil society.
Steven Craig, GlasgowPublic ownership means accountability. Otherwise predatory corporate power dominates. I want to be a passenger not a customer.
Simon Bolton, LeedsProfits before people is not the way forward.
Stuart Owen, LondonPlease.
Helen Behagg, KetteringFree tea and coffee is a must for the British traveller.
Lee O’Callaghan, PeterboroughI am embarrassed by the state of our British railways service. As a commuter I am robbed every year of more money to prop it up. We must nationalise now.
Michael Johnston, NorthamptonStop privatising as it doesn’t work.
Lindsay Hatherley, LampeterTransport is for all, not just the rich. Give us back what is ours.
Michael Schouten, BrightonCut fares not staff.
Jane Lyddon, EdinburghLeaving East Coast Rail in public ownership would be a good start.
Hannah Evans, MansfieldRe-nationalise the rail system. This should be publicly owned and affordable for all.
Ben Millington, WidnesState-owned, not for profit, but for service.
Carol Lynch, WallaseyWe want to be treated like our Euro-cousins with cheaper rail fares.
Bronwen Edwards, IlkleyMake our railways something we can be proud of. British Rail.
John Quinn, DundeeRailways should be run as a public service, not for private profit. The quality of service in European countries is way better as governments invest more in railways.
Michael Dawson, South ShieldsLike all things that work better as a monopoly, it should be under common ownership.
David Wilton, BathI have to endure the poor service and high prices of GWR, formerly First Great Western every week. Bring back British Rail.
Steve Anderson, BristolBillionaires don’t listen to anyone’s words but their own. Is there any point to this? Derail the City of London if you want social justice.
David R Evans, Newcastle-upon-TynePrivatisation and unification without compensation.
Saffron Swansborough, HerstmonceuxI heard about this campaign group on the Today programme recently. The spokesperson was terrific. I sympathise with the disgruntled Southern staff too.
Barbara White, IlfordUnfair prices and no porters to help, and these are only things I can see.
Christine Hall, ChristchurchBritish Rail should be brought back as soon as possible. Privatisation has been a disaster. National Rail for people not private profit.
Christopher Howard, HalifaxGive us out rail back.
Alastair CurrieRailways are a service, and services should be run by the country for the people, not by individuals for a profit.
Margaret Rumble, OakhamNot before time.
Conor Tomlinson, BoltonPrivatisation puts profit before performance. Privatising organisations is why this country is such an undesirable place to be. Bring back nationalisation.
Veronica Reilly, LivingstonWhen you watch the history of British Rail, the workers had such a pride in their jobs. Bring back British Rail. Less competition with apportioning blame.
John Wightman, AirdrieI will end up spontaneously combusting.
Owen Chua, SingaporeI am very unhappy with the current state of Britain’s Railways. It’s a great example of “United We Stand; Divided We Fall.”
