Privatisation has gone too far.

Paul Baker, Winsford

Save us money, save us time.

James Harris, Birmingham

I worked for British Rail and, although it was too top heavy (like Network Rail now – too many managers) it cared about the track and people.

Michael Howarth, Dover

Sooner rather than later.

John Hogg, Bradford

And bring back loco-hauled trains while you’re at it.

Gareth William-Philips, Penarth

I started using BR in the 1970s, along with National Bus Company buses. I see nothing wrong with state-owned transport and I support this campaign. I must get the T-shirt.

Adrian Willats, Waterlooville

SNCF in France seems to work well as does DB in Germany. From home to university in Kent I go through five different companies which are never in sync.

Mal Kempsell, Liverpool

That should never have de-nationalised it.

Terence Charles Maddocks, Birmingham

I have used trains for thirty years and have experienced the service drop and prices rise consistently due to greed and incompetence. Enough of this.

Liz Lacey, Liverpool

The public need to take control again or you will end up like the roads, in dire straits.

Robert Davies, Durham

The success of the East Coast line shows it works.

Ian Moore, Leeds

Return all privatised services to public ownership.

Patricia Bennett, Northampton

Train ticket prices are ridiculous and the rail services are bad compared with other European countries.

Luke Phillips, Liverpool

Scrap the corrupt privatisation model. Justice for the 99%.

Paul Monaghan, Liverpool

I do want Britain’s Railway back into our hands.

Thomas Hallam, London

It is completely immoral when huge profits for shareholders are made at the expense of the public. This government should be sacked for re-privatising East Coast Trains.

John Seymour, Tadcaster

Public funding for the railways should be for public ownership, not for private companies.

Susan Cason, Dronfield

We should never have let Major privatise British Rail.

Angela Paine, Stroud

I hate the private trains and the prices are out of order.

Caroline Lewis, Ellesmere Port

This mugging of commuters must stop. Bring back British Rail. It was never yours to sell. It’s ours and we want it back.

Gerry Curran, Beverley

If nationalised East Coast can make a profit then stop subsidising private companies and bring pack a joined-up transport system.

Ralph Baxter MBE, Northampton

Privatisation is a scandal as it steals from us what is ours and gives to a few greedy rich for their profit at our expense. It takes money from our pockets to give to them.

Stevan Hezseltine, Carshalton

Please let us have a train system that a modern country like ours deserves.

Giles Long, St Albans

The whole ‘profit for the few’ mentality is ruining the lives of many.

Daisy Mudhead, Stevenage

The fact of the matter is that only ScotRail will now service the Leuchars station, instead of East Coast which will stop most direct long haul journeys from Leuchars.

Evan Tatnall, St. Andrews

Please, please bring back British Rail.

Isobel Hodkinson, Dronfield

All public services should be run for people not profit.

David Treasurer, Canterbury

They are quite happy to delay passenger trains by late running freight. Once is unfortunate, twice coincidence and fifty times is downright incompetence.

Kevin Wisbey, Bury St Edmunds

The people have spoken.

Kevin Freeman, Glasgow
