Patrick Clarke, LondonThe current system is an expensive and incohesive shambles.
Kate Doyle, CambridgeIt would be nice to get a service that worked. Train travel is brilliant. When you pay for a seat you should get one. It should be run for people not profit.
Richard PalmerService before profit.
Alex Ross, CambridgePrivatisation has left us with the most expensive and worst trains in Europe.
Anthony Stunners, WarboysJust that – bring back British Railways – and steam too, whilst we are about it. Then we would have a REAL railway.
Tim Pennington, LondonWhen is enough profit enough? Travelling by train is becoming unaffordable.
Leigh Samuels, WolverhamptonJust look at the East Coast line. The way forward is to re-nationalise.
John Evans, BillericayPublic transport should be run for the benefit of the country, not shareholders.
Herrat Heinrich, BristolStop selling the family silver. We are moving down the evolutionary ladder again, ruled over by the insane. What isn’t good for everyone should not even be considered.
Simon Coulton, BradfordLet’s get back to a rail network that was the best in the world. Look at other countries as models for what we should be aiming for.
Nigel Filer, WatfordCost of 4 weekly oyster cards zone 1-9 is £320+. My rent with all bills included is £470. Travel costs are a disgrace.
Richard Walker, Newcastle-upon-TyneSince privatisation the prices of rail fares have increased well beyond inflation with no justification.
Christopher Richardson, NottinghamRenationalisation is long overdue. The demand is growing. Perhaps even the cowardly Miliband will acknowledge that the stance of the Labour Party is pitiful
Edwin NelsonNational economic assets such as the UK rail network should be owned by the people via public sector enterprises.
Michelle Doidge, WorcesterThey should never have been privatised in the first place as it has now become an inefficient way of running the railway.
Simon Bolton, LeedsProfits before people is not the way forward.
Hannah Williamson, MacclesfieldPlease do.
Garreth Maguire, PrestatynWe need railways that are owned by the state and public passengers and freight. They should never have got rid of British Rail and we want it back.
Russ Gladwish, NorwichPublic ownership for public services.
Charlotte Moncrieff, BrightonThe last train journey I made was a nightmare and the toilets were broken and/or filthy.
Allan Precious, BillinghamWe need a rail system that looks after the public, not share holders as at present.
Richard King, BristolRe-nationalise now.
Jacob Tyne, Newton AbbotA public owned railway will help to provide good rail services rather than private profits which is something that needs to change.
Vaibhav Khullar, LondonUnbelievable ticket prices, huge mark-up and terrible service. Privatisation was a bad, bad idea.
Keith Collinson, SwanlandProfits for a better railway not shareholders.
Norman Dodd, Newcastle-upon-TyneEast Coast line is profitable. Why change?
Glen Reeves, FolkestoneBring BR back. SouthEastern and the others are a joke, and are ripping us all off.
Justin Cole, WarwickI’m sick of paying ridiculously high fares and having to tolerate consistently poor service.
Jim Boyd, WashingtonAlso re-nationalise electricity, gas, post office and telephones.
Valerie Pritchard, Newcastle-upon-TyneIt should never have been privatised in the first place, as should public utilities not have been.
