Enough. Bring back a public travel service to the public.

Jillian Wood, London

All industries back to state-owned please.

Anne-Marie Curry, London

I’m tired of expensive rail travel.

Georgy Davis, Edinburgh

Disgusting way of selling tickets. Must be illegal, surely.

Sheila Henderson-Squara, Whitley Bay

BR gave us the 125 and 225. Privatisation gave us Voyagers – and taxpayers’ money syphoned off into tax havens and foreign governments.

Paul Williamson, Coventry

Scotland. We are badly served by trains.

David Moncur, Dundee

Let’s get people moving on the trains at a good price. All working together. Unify our rail.

Mike Bond, Bristol

Abellio Greater Anglia has the worst possible customer service ever experienced.

James Cullen, Wickford

The first experiment in private management of transport in this country ran for 100years – the turnpike system. It ended because it was useless and expensive.

Ternan Macnamara, Thirsk

It shouldn’t cost more to use greener public transport than driving a car the same distance. A British railway would give the profits back into the government.

Christine Sutherland, Banbury

Working hard to make the stations look ‘pretty’ whilst service gets worse.

Alina Popa, Reading

We need a rail service that benefits its passengers. We need British Rail back.

Amanda Bouskill, Swinton

Bring rail fares down.

James Robinson, Whitehaven

National Express East Anglia is the most useless train company in the UK, but soon they will be gone and replaced by another useless train company!

Colin Flowerday

It’s disgraceful that private rail still receives government subsidies. So re-nationalise rail and subsidise it properly.

Sheila Gray, Middlesbrough

Take back the franchises David Cameron. You know it makes sense.

Alan Hay, Northumberland

The current railways are terrifying.

Paul Hebden, Leeds

East Coast is far better than National Express East Coast or GNER. Do not sell it.

Heather Mann, London

Please let it happen soon and for all those poor people to get a seat.

David Weston, Bodmin

Bring back sanity. Ignore private profits and look after passengers.

William Ball, Morecambe

The privatisation of British Rail should never have happened in the first place. Typical Tories ran it into the ground and then sold it off at a massive loss.

Sara Browne, Bedford

The greatly increased taxpayer subsidies paid out since privatisation are spent on subsidising shareholders’ pay-outs instead on improving the railways.

Alan Moss, Canterbury

You know it makes sense.

Rog Harrison, Glasgow

I worked for the railways for fifteen years and I left in 1993 as privatisation was coming in. I now cannot afford to travel by train.

Ria Jones

It’s about time.

Veronica Little, Leeds

It will benefit everyone and leave our economy better off.

Oliver Smith, Wold Newton

We need a properly integrated system serving people instead of private profit.

Tony Newman, Guildford

Time to undo.

David Cole, London

They should never have been privatised in first place. The state of trains now is shocking and prices are ridiculous.

Natasha Pickering, Stranraer

I like rail travel but, as a pensioner, can’t afford to use it often. Re-nationalising should bring costs down.

Dave Thompson, Potton
