William Holyday, LondonI hate the privatisation of public services.
Daniel Jess, BerlinI come from London but moved away some time ago. I visit friends and family regularly up and down the country and am appalled by the cost and overcrowding. People not private profit.
Eddy Hughes, ManchesterWe need to put pressure on the government to Bring back British Rail into public ownership – well overdue.
Raymond Crois La, KampenWe want our railway back.
Gillian Anson, LetchworthI remember the days of British Rail and would like to see them return.
David Kerbyson, WatfordBring it back now.
Roger Drury, ColefordPeople before profit.
Colin Flowerday, HoltWe want British Rail back. Stuff the Private train companies.
Jeffrey Spencer, Newton AycliffeThe profit from running the railways should be used to reduce fares and improve the infrastructure.
Chris Matthews, NottinghamThe privatised rail system is a failure.
Susannah Lord, NorwichOur rail service is very unreliable, expensive and non-too-clean. I would like it to be run for the users, not shareholder profits.
Robert McDonald, UxbridgeA co-ordinated, state-run railway system has got to be better than the overpriced mess we currently have.
Keith Kennils, Newcastle-upon-TyneEast Coast is making a profit under state ownership. Keep it that way. Stop the rip-off price rigging of train tickets.
Andrew Butler, LincolnThey should never have been privatised in the first place.
David Oxberry, GatesheadThe railways are run inefficiently and profit is the only motive. We the taxpayers are funding these profits and sustaining these companies.
Mark McQuillan, LondonEast Coast is doing well under national ownership, It would be good to see more of it.
Rachel O’Hare, LondonIf trains were more affordable, fewer people would drive long distances and the environment would benefit.
Dennis Wood, Clacton-on-SeaThey should never have been sold – nor gas, electricity, post office etc.
Robert Birch, BromsgroveAs an ex-BR employee, it breaks my heart to see the state of the privatised rail network. Back to public ownership as soon as possible.
Jennifer Brock, BradfordTransport is such an essential part of people’s working lives and ensuring the contact of families and friends in this more disparate society. It must be better integrated.
Glen Turner, WarringtonThe Tory sell-off of the UK infrastructure has not worked. It’s time to get it back.
Terence Smith, LeicesterUnder privatisation profits go up, fares go up and service is muddled and difficult to use.
Anne Gale, BristolPrivatisation – the worst thing in the world for what should be a national organisation.
David Muir, GlastonburyI fully support the desire to bring back an international network serving Scotland and Wales and England, especially in Scotland.
Keith Batchelor, BirminghamWhy should the taxpayer subsidise the franchised companies and therefore the shareholders. Re-nationalise now and stop the shareholder gravy train.
Haotian Zheng, GlasgowI am very much in favour of nationalising UK rail. On my first day in the UK I had train cancellations on the Avanti West Coast. I hope the country can bring British Rail.
James Abbott, WithamA railway owned by the public and run for the public – that is what we want.
Alastair Gill, BrandestonIt’s high time we put an end to profiteering and put the passenger first again.
Adrian Barker, PaisleyWhy sell off our country’s infrastructure?
Graham Askew, CambridgePrivate profit never serves people.
