John Cant, EdinburghOur railways are a huge national asset and should be run to minimise road and air use and promote other social and environmental benefits, not run for profit.
Karen Scrimshaw, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe process of purchasing train tickets and trying to find the best price is an absolute nightmare, especially if a journey involves two different networks.
Mair Jones, DenbighExcellent campaign.
Jane Topliss, DerbyThey’re robbing taxpayers blind.
A Meredith, LondonTrain services are too complex and overpriced and the service is certainly no better than BR was.
Alexander McLean, KilmarnockPoor service, no rolling stock, later and never early.
Jonathan Sykes, YorkPublic transport should belong to the Public.
Vincent Brierley, PeterboroughGo back to running trains at cost not for profit.
Philip Mead, LondonIt’s a no-brainer.
Z Sullivan, LondonLet’s leave the EU, then we won’t have to comply with their privatisation directives!
Elisabeth Kiener, Reepham, NorfolkRailways are too important to remain in private ownership.
Katie Goodwin, TadleyThe Great Train Robbery – the British privatised rail network.
Steph Jones, BeverleyBring back a truly publicly owned rail infrastructure and operating service, end private companies prioritising short term shareholder return, and invest in the North!
David Bryant-Moore, CheltenhamBring back British Rail indeed. We need green public transportation that doesn’t cost the earth to use. We’ve had this before and we can have it again.
Lynda Lorenzo, Sutton-on-SeaA long-time commuter in my youth, now living where there is no rail service – but strongly believe rail network should all be in public ownership.
Nick Packer, GlasgowThere are a few things I believe should not be subject to market forces, shareholder interests etc.
Steven Toms, YorkThe railway needs investment in rolling stock to relieve overcrowding. The present system cannot deliver this.
Maggie Lloyd, HastingsIt is only with the basic infrastructure of a country run well and for all that real business can work for the benefit of all.
Anne Vincent, ArundelI am currently not a regular traveller but re-nationalisation is surely the only way to recover our once excellent (environmentally acceptable) system.
Sarah Hurley, BristolA reliable, affordable, state-run railway would benefit the whole country.
David Simm, WarringtonWhat has happened with the East Coast main line proves privatisation is not progress.
Martin DawsonBest wishes in your campaign. I saw a sticker on a sign next to a railway track while train spotting with a friend.
Anne-Marie Curry, LondonAll industries back to state-owned please.
Joe Stamper, Burton on TrentNationalisation to offer flexibility and protect rail travel at an affordable price for all.
Jeffrey Moore, LeedsProfit is king at the moment. Mammon triumphs again.
Kaitlin MilfordTicket prices keep rising but services are no better. Where’s the benefit for those of us paying for the service?
Alison Harris, PontefractRailways and other forms of public transport should be subsidised by the state for the benefit of the users and employees and not for shareholders in private companies.
Peter Henderson, Worthing.We need to combine modern-day quality of trains with BR style joined-up service, punctuality and value for money.
Darren Skeet, PitseaPrivate railway companies have over-inflated prices for far too long. We need to try something else.
John Rimmer, YorkPrivatisation has been a disaster for ordinary people. It should not be for profit of shareholders but for reinvestment in rail.
