Richard Cox, BirminghamWe need a vertically integrated railway run by railwaymen and not by bean counters or civil servants.
Chris Brown, BrightonThe quality of train services compared to other leading economies is a disgrace.
Adam Eveleigh, AylesburyThe prices will keep going up and up under the pointless, anti-competitive, inefficient franchising system. The government should take back Britain’s railways.
Dave Huxham, LeedsThey should never have been privatised. The railway has been in decline ever since.
David Thompson, LiverpoolRail is a natural monopoly and should be run as a true service for the people, never for profit.
Helene Hart, CamberleyIt should be a public service not a gravy train.
Thomas Chant, ExeterBecause you will not find a good privatised rail system anywhere in the world.
Patricia Jones, BirkenheadIt’s no joke when you can’t visit your family as much as you would like due to over-inflated fares.
Carol Lilley, Hemel HempsteadEnd this abomination and greed.
John Heathcote, LudlowRailways should be in public ownership.
Roberto King, ChesterYou should try organising a strike with all of the rail workers.
George Howe, HitchinGood luck in your endeavours but you are up against World Trade Organisation who have insisted on privatisation of everything.
Koller Regina, MunichIf one uses the Swiss Rail for a role model, it could be a story of success, like the Swiss Rail too.
Sam Skinner, LondonBring back national rail. The network should be unified. More and more we see that competition and market forces lead to disunity, crisis and profiteering. Nationalise.
Malcolm Clements, BarnsleyRailways should be an affordable service and not for private profit.
David Lomas, Hemel HempsteadBring back BR.
James Bennett, NorthamptonReturn all privatised services to full public ownership and management.
Alan Tebbit, TruroRun for profit railway has been shown not to work.
Lorna Matthews, GreenlawNo necessary public facilities should be in private hands.
Jonathan Grain, LondonI remember British Rail. It was great!
Dawn Chamberlain, LiskeardOur rail and utility companies should never have been sold off in the first place.
Mark Gibson, AltrinchamPoor air quality is killing people. We need vehicles off our roads and only a thriving nationalised rail service will help.
Angela Sansam, HarrogatePrivatisation has been a complete disaster and has definitely not brought benefits for rail users.
Mike Gibson, WarminsterPlease end the idiocy of privatisation. Bring it all back under one umbrella for the good of the country, the passengers and the industry.
Paul Harrison, ManchesterThe public are sheep drowning in apathy. They have no idea the NHS is being sold off piece by piece under our noses. But I support and inform wherever I can.
Mike Nightingale, CardiffTake back what we built.
Alan Ridgley, LondonRe-nationalisation is the answer to the blatant greed of the private rail operators.
Azucena Marin-Young, CoventryIt’s disgraceful, the prices of a train journey. Stop ripping the people off.
Christopher Walker-Lyne, YorkPrivate isn’t necessarily better. We want a single national network, for ourselves, for accountability and not for profit. Bring back public ownership.
Christopher Macleod, ChamplinAlthough I now live in France I commuted from Haslemere before I retired.
