The slogan says it all.

Edward Abel, Birmingham

Why pay dividends to shareholders when the money would be better spent on renewing the rails and trains?

Ian Sadler, Leeds

They should never have been privatised. It is costing the taxpayer far too much and fares are unacceptably high. We are at the mercy of privateers.

Simon Harris, Mansfield

Great campaign. I hope it has an effect!

Andy Norris

I recently travelled on trains in Europe and China, superior to the UK and run for their people. UK get a grip and nationalise.

Lisa Mundy, Portsmouth

I can no longer afford to travel by train – thanks Tories. Meanwhile billionaires like Branson get tax payers’ bailouts. Not a travel network but a money laundering scheme.

Aaron Smith, Eastbourne

The public should not continue to subsidise private enterprise.

Christopher Corbett, London

For the love of God, get our social infrastructure away from these foul spivs! No more privatisation of anything, you avaricious bastards!

Elizabeth Rogerson, Glasgow

Transport is essential in modern life for work, health needs and social enjoyment. Needs have to be supplied regardless of income and capital. Re-nationalise.

Robert Hough, London

It’s a ludicrous system of ticket-pricing. It’s £10 cheaper for a return to Dartford than it is to London from King’s Lynn even though that is via London.

Elaine Musker, King’s Lynn

Another theft which needs to be sorted.

Nicola Godfrey, Inverness

Profits should go into the railways, not the pockets of the rich.

Brian Matthews, Wrexham

Extortionate prices, no seats and no competition. Bring back British Rail.

Julie Holland, Sunbury

East coast has been successful since in public hands. Keep it and transfer others.

Teresa Saunders, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

British Rail, owned by the British government, for the British people, profits ploughed back. British Rail for the British people.

Roger Clogg, Havant

Bring back BR for a better service which will also save the country money.

Jackie Davidson, Sittingbourne

Lets get back to a sensible rail system and get rid of the mess that de-nationalisation has left us.

Joseph French, York

I’m bored with paying to run Europe’s rail network with the profits from ours.

Andrew Stock, Colchester

I’m fed up of paying full price for low quality service and double standards regarding blocking aisles.

Roger Williams

It’s about time we faced facts and realised that there will never be proper investment in rail under private ownership.

Damon Reid, Manchester

Good campaign. There seems to be an error in your leaflet though. Check consistency of global co2 emissions numbers.

Martin Farmer, Brighton

One service overall makes sense.

Caroline Aboa, Luton

I’m embarrassed by the standard of service. It’s appalling. Broken. You buy a ticket, cross your fingers, and play the cancellation and bus replacement game.

Michael Warwick, Ulverston

It’s too important to be left to the private sector.

Sioned-Mair Richards, Sheffield

I get ripped off by train companies far too much.

James McGowan, Liverpool

I wholeheartedly support returning the railways to the public. Why on earth would you continue to subsidise these private franchises who are making millions in profit?

Julie Pugh, Northwood
