Leonard Roberts, YorkEx BR traffic controller who had to work with current shambles
Miles Stapleton, WorthingWe are paying the subsidies so we should own the network.
Kane Clements, ExeterThe East Coast mainline in public hands has needed less subsidy, increased efficiency and returned money to the Treasury. Government response? Re-privatise. Madness.
Geoffrey Bottoms, SheffieldPeople before profits.
Paul Manuel, IlfordEnd the privatised fleecing.
Ian Hutchings, NewarkThe railways should be one organisation, not many small companies. Why should we put public money into private hands?
Isabel White, LondonShareholders take money out and contribute nothing. Spend that money where it is needed.
Peter Gilbert, NewarkIt will be cheaper all told. Private companies have wasted too much taxpayers’ money.
Ethan Storey, ChichesterGet rid of Southern.
Mark Murphy, LondonIt’s time to admit that rail privatisation is fundamentally flawed.
Jane Dring, WakefieldStanding between Wakefield and London again because of short formation – told to just be grateful I’m on the way at all. Got to be able to do better than this.
David Wilson, GatesheadRun rail for the people not for profit.
Rosalind Readhead, LondonA transport system that works democratically for the whole of the UK should not be in the hands of profiteers.
Corinne Moore, NewarkEast Coast Trains is a shining example of public sector rail being both profitable and efficient.
Patricia Ekins, SheffieldJust bring British Rail back.
Paul BrightBringing back British Rail is a wise policy which is essential for our economic and social recovery and future shared prosperity.
Samuel Fitzgerald, CaerphillyIt is time to bring back what we lost, to the forefront of the railway network.
Gerry McCartney, JohnstoneI’m keen to be involved in local transport campaigns. Please put me in touch with local union and other campaigners.
Iris Woods, CoventryI hope the campaign succeeds.
John Dady, EnfieldIt makes sense on so many counts.
Mike Hellyer, LondonWhat does ‘peak time’ even mean? So I have to pay more, but it’s highly likely I might not even get on my train, let alone get a sea. It should be the complete opposite.
Jonathan Heeles, YorkOne railway with profits back into running the railway.
Stephen Lauder, WatfordThe private train operating companies should be nationalised when their contracts are up for renewal, then aim for similar standards as in France, Germany and Switzerland.
Corrie Hogenboom, GroningenAs it was always meant to be.
Jonathan Kershaw, SalisburyPrivate companies’ primary duty is to their shareholders, not passengers. People (workers) and service should come first, not profit.
Alan Frost, BedfordAn utter shambles is privatisation. Not run for the passengers but only to line the pockets of shareholders and overpaid managers, of which there are far too many.
Scott Moore, Walton-on-ThamesThe country needs this again. The railways are in an awful way. The current political class has an obsession with outsourcing. It doesn’t work. The state needs to intervene.
Andrew Stock, ColchesterI’m bored with paying to run Europe’s rail network with the profits from ours.
Joe Stamper, Burton on TrentNationalisation to offer flexibility and protect rail travel at an affordable price for all.
Robert Turnbull, KilmarnockPrivate companies should not be running something as safety-intensive as our railways. Let’s face it, private company owners want to play golf all day.
