Wishing you huge success.

Elaine Hanson, Huddersfield

Serco has been shown time and time over to be unreliable at operating public services and should be stripped of this franchise immediately along with Abellio.

George Grace, Liverpool

British Rail I miss you!

Ian Crockford, Birmingham

Change needs to happen.

Kerry Holmes, London

Nationalise the railways, privatisation has failed as was predicted. Public money for friends of the Tories!

Eve Wallis, Birmingham

Let’s go back to the time when we knew what we were going to pay for a trip well in advance and the service was reliable.

Cynthia Roushorn, York

Network Rail manager pay is just sickening.

Bernard Carney, Leeds

Bring back those days of friendly porters and talking passengers. Profits don’t matter as long as it all functions properly for the people by the people.

Tony Wainwright, Llanfyllin

Without the good infrastructure left by BR, the railways would be crippled by now.

Tom McKeown, Birkenhead

Rail privatisation caused deaths in the 90’s and ever-increasing fares since. Profits should only be for re-investment and not to shareholders.

Simon Boot, Harrogate

Have some courage and re-nationalise the railways instead of behaving like a plastic Tory.

Peter Mullen, Manchester

Only criminals want things privatised, beginning with the Nazis in Germany.

Rupert Kavanagh, Sudbury, Suffolk

Disgusting filthy overpriced overcrowded, totally unreliable, like Hell incarnated as public transport.

Andrew Shefford, Gillingham

Privatisation brings too many fat cast and fewer jobs.

David McCormack, Hinckley

The rail service should be for community benefit, not the benefit of speculators.

Allan Percival, Durham

Such a service should be run for the people and not private profit.

Veronica Ballan, Alnwick

I have not used the train more than 4 times since it was de-nationalised.

M Lovious, Liverpool

As a very frequent user of busy East Coast Trains which is now profit making, I feel the country should benefit, instead of private companies.

Eileen Nicholas, Melrose

This debacle has been going on for too long, let’s make a change.

A J Allan, East Lothian

Privatisation drives up prices and encourages companies to make too much money out of a public service.

Jennie C-Knight, Cromer

Solidarity.

Jordan Smith

Fare price rises and bad service. Clearly it needs to be nationalised.

Sian Thornton, Peterborough

I agree – bring it back to get rid of rip-off prices.

Ashley Jones, Bristol

Get rid of the spivs and shysters from our railway.

Dugald Cameron, Glasgow

Bring back British Rail.

Anne Elizabeth Plowman, Sheffield

Bring back British Rail.

Matt Hessing, Ilfracombe

Commuting should be supported by a public service like power and water. Stop the money junkies taking over everything that once was part of social support for the citizen.

Graham Warwick, Colchester

Any profit should be returned to the public purse, not shareholders’ pockets.

Margaret Ashton, South Shields

Nationalisation without compensation.

George Walker, Barrhead

Train operators don’t give a toss about the service they offer, their customers or value for money.

Paul Reid, Liverpool
