Charlie Claydon, LondonThe trains are overpriced and unreliable.
Joe Meredith, RiscaPublic ownership is in the people’s best interest to have a system that everyone can depend on.
Steve Smith, EastwoodBring back cheaper fares.
Garry Rogers, SouthamptonOther countries prove that railways can be run efficiently. This government does not have the right to keep dishing out franchises to private speculators.
Carl Hodgetts, CardiffI’m tired of paying extortionate fares in order to prop up shareholders in private companies whilst the services themselves are unbelievably substandard.
Ian Dargo, LondonReturn the national rail network to public ownership.
Pete Sherwood, WallingtonSomething has to be done about this blatant rip-off.
Richenda Herzig, ElyOur rail system is embarrassing, especially when compared to other state-owned European systems.
Richard Green, Newton AbbotCurrently there is no competition. I cannot choose which company I use to provide my rail service, so how has privatisation improved customer service?
Kayla Ente, BrightonChris Grayling has now conceded that the trains and the tracks need to be operated by the same entity. Therefore, nationalisation is now imperative.
Robin Peel, LondonPublic service should be run for the good of the people of this country not for private profit.
Alex Gordon, BristolYou know it makes sense.
Joanne Smalley, BeaconsfieldThe service across the Chiltern Railways line has been disintegrating steadily and consistently over many years. The current service shows the results of underinvestment.
Marc Woolward, BudePublic service, not profit.
Chris Lindon, SheffieldOur train services are appalling, woefully inadequate, always late, expensive and only increasing in cost year upon year. Trains are a necessity and should be re-nationalised.
Frank Nicholas AdamSince privatisation the costs of paperwork have increased dramatically with so many organisations to deal with to enable anything to get done.
Mike James, PontypriddBring it back and get the right people to run it.
Chris Moon, BridgwaterNo public service should be run for private profit as it can never serve people’s interest.
Janet Francis, Welwyn Garden CityBritish Rail, one company, one network.
Becky Chamberlain, PeterheadAt nearly 60 I well remember British Railways, that most small towns and villages had a rail link and most people used the train to travel.
Denis Rice, NottinghamWe need less fragmentation of services. East Coast line shows again what public ownership achieves for the benefit of all.
Dean Williams, StevenageI support a unified, nationalised rail network for the UK, run as a public service, not for private shareholder profit.
Joan Briggs, North ShieldsEast Coast has run a great service. Why not allow them to continue and others join them?
James Kirkpatrick, PortsmouthPeople not profit.
Dennis Hart, ManchesterUn-privatise is the only way forward from this mess.
Judith Reynolds, SheffieldWe are subsidising private railways for private profit. Let’s re-nationalise for public benefit.
Sheila Brown, AlnwickI hope the railways do become nationalised. Privatisation is not favourable to the everyday commuter nor frequent travellers like myself.
Esther McLinn, KilmarnockI completely agree.
Sue Dean, WarwickLet’s do this as the British people together. Whoever thought splitting it up was a sensible idea?
Tracey Cooper, StevenageWe want them back and we need them back before these private companies make any more money from us.
