Catol Kirkman, HoveUnreliable service is ruining the quality of my family life. To consistently have trains from Victoria to Hove cancelled is appalling.
Diane Moore, HarrowAs a pensioner, money is tight. It would be brilliant to be able to travel to see my son and grandsons at an affordable price.
James Ellis, ChesterfieldStop HS2.
Perry Neill, LondonBring back British Rail. Run it for the public not for greedy shareholders
Gordon Carey, St AlbansTake it back into public ownership ASAP.
John Carter, Kings SuttonBecause the fragmentation of the rail network to feed the profits of the private sector is madness.
Ray Grinney, DealRemove the strata of capitalist greed that impoverishes the rest of us who are not shareholders.
Maria Peterson, NottinghamThe railways should be in public ownership. Better services, no private profits.
Jack Sayers Shaw, BournemouthThe railway is a public method of transport, fascination and convenience. I believe private companies should have no say in how our railways are run.
Janette Dillon, NottinghamBring back responsibility for the customer’s whole journey, not piecemeal journeys for the profit of separate companies.
Chris Hewitt, LondonIt’s ours, it always has been and it always should be.
Jim Mills, GlasgowHaving recently retired after 41 years’ railway service the quicker it is re-nationalised the better. The TOCs are only interested in the profit margin.
Hannah Evans, MansfieldRe-nationalise the rail system. This should be publicly owned and affordable for all.
Michael Lee, WorksopDo not wait for the franchises to run their course. Take them back into public ownership now.
Jacqueline Kennett, SidmouthIt’s a disgusting state of affairs.
Mik Konstantinou, ChristchurchPrivatisation has made British railways the joke of Europe.
Barrie Temple, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe current multi-operator system is too complicated.
M T, LondonYes, bringing back British Rail would be a good idea.
Martin Rayfield, PrestonI’m fed up with rich bosses. Let the people have the railways back.
Elizabeth Sheard, WolverhamptonProfits from the railways should be going to the Treasury, not to shareholders. East Coast has put millions into the Treasury and should be allowed to continue.
Nicola Shepherd, AltonRe-nationalise and invest in a national rail service.
Thomas CoyleThe Intercity 125 and 225 trains are still top thanks to British Rail.
Elizabeth Lindsay, MatlockBefore nationalisation (and I was there) people complained about the trains. The same complaints are happening still – fares are beyond reach, and profits exist.
Lucas Thorpe, Newcastle-upon-TyneKeep East Coast public.
Jim Allen, BrightonFirst Capital Connect London to Brighton service is dreadful. Old trains, noisy, rattley, uncomfortable, freezing cold or baking hot. It’s a complete rip off.
Stefan Antoniuk, CallingtonBR was working well when it was butchered. Now we pay more in subsidy than ever; the wrong way to do things. Rail infrastructure is a national asset and services a social need.
Naomi Wallace, OtterburnStop wasting tax payer money on private rail. Bring back public owned transportation.
Owen Lewis, NewportIt is clear privatisation serves nobody but the shareholders. Fares should reflect the need to entice people out of their cars.
Colette Wright, TorquayWhy can’t we have a rail system as good as many other countries?
Alix Heywood, HolmfirthPlease.
