John McGeown, GreenockStart with the transport system and then move on to our utilities. It’s not just all about profit for the few but the needs of the many.
Adam Hiley, Upminster, EssexIf Germany can run a great publicly-owned transport system then so can Britain.
Alex May, WallaseyGreat idea. Why not get the campaign to re-nationalise Royal Mail started now as well. In a few years that will also be expensive and useless.
Vivek Katyara, BirminghamThe rail network should be government-owned, to resume order and assurance of safe, easy and improved travel infrastructure.
Liam Sheerin, BrightonBring back British Rail.
Timothy Laurence, ReadingCustomers are fed up with escalating fares, poor reliability, awful services and not enough carriages. British trains, built in Britain for the British people.
Carl Loben, BrightonThe experience with Southern Rail leaves us with no other choice..
Michael Spurden, YorkThe privatised fragmentation of British Rail cannot be called other than a total and unmitigated disaster. It has cost us dearly, in money and in lives.
Charlotte Reader, Clacton-on-SeaRailways should be the best form of public transport. They should be efficient, reasonably priced and a public service, not a commercial carcase for stripping.
Matthew Browne, CardiffI fully support this 100%.
Rupert Rooksby, NottinghamSort it out Scameron.
Allan Orrick, PrudhoeEast Coast is making money and is feeding that money into Treasury coffers. Why not take back the whole network and make it work for the country, not the money grabbers?
David McDermid, Newton MearnsPrivatisation of BR was one of the most inexcusable government decisions ever. We are left with high fares and bad service. Privatisation didn’t work for BR.
Andy McEwan, WhitstableThe status quo is not an option. Stop ripping commuters off.
Suki Jones, PortsmouthPublic Transport should be just that, run for the public by the public, but we have got to get it right. The Germans can do it, so why can’t we?
Pablo Rees, SwanseaOne operator would make it easier when you require assistance. Wheelchair spaces vary in size on different operators.
Christine Oakhill, St AlbansEnd the farce and bring back common sense with a system that works for its customers.
Kevin McGrath, Great YarmouthI’m an ex-BR permanent way worker, back in the days when we knew every inch of the track in our area.
Marcus Podilchuk, TotnesReturn us to the golden age of nationalised railways.
Terry Thompson, NewarkThe East Coast line has shown the private failures how to make a profit.
Andrew Ridgway, ManchesterThe current system is run for the friends of politicians, not the people.
Abigail Cooper, East CowesUnified and not for profit. It can’t get better than that.
Ian Woodford, IpswichLet’s have it.
Kelly Moran, LondonThe network should serve the public.
J Winton, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe East Coast rail line has been in public ownership since private operators pulled out. It is now in profit.
Vanessa Martin, BrightonBring back national railways to be proud of. Get us to work on time with a seat. And a clean safe journey for a reasonable price.
Elliot Ellison, BristolI’d happily pay more tax for a smoother, cheaper, nicer, national railway system.
Ellie Gibbs, KnaresboroughGive us back our National Rail.
Neil Sanderson, OswestryPeople not profit.
Gloria McNeil, PeterboroughThe fragmentation of public transport is a massive waste of money. The tendering process, consultants’ fees and shareholder profits could be reinvested in the system.
