Privatisation has raised the prices to fill private pockets, while we suffer poorer transport links and old carriages!

David Kazwini, Hitchin

I have to endure the poor service and high prices of GWR, formerly First Great Western every week. Bring back British Rail.

David Wilton, Bath

I’m sick of paying a ridiculous amount just to travel. I pay taxes and I feel absolutely robbed every time I’m forced to take the train,

Martin Rayment, Loughborough

Everyone battle for this

Daryl Staples, Chatham

SWT is unreliable. Some delays are unavoidable but management of delays is non-existent and there seem to be an increasing number of delays caused by lack of investment.

Dominic Benson, Surbiton

ScotRail have poor services, trains are often late or cancelled, a wheelchair user not allowed to board the train because of space issues when there were only two carriages.

David Alan Clark, Glasgow

Bring back affordable train travel for commuters.

Helen Thorn, Lewes

I’m fully supportive, but not much time.

Pamela Morris, Leeds

Privatisation has cost us too much.

Bruno Cartwright, Ware

There’s too much subsidy paid for a lousy service.

David Holmes, Lydney

Not for profit.

Miles Bradley, Birmingham

I agree whole-heartedly with this campaign.

Helka Thompson, Swindon

Travelling East Midlands is a nightmare. Dirty carriages, poor onboard services, staff shortages.

Harriet Caine, Sheffield

We must stop treating the railways as a way of filling private pockets with taxpayers’ cash.

Brian Binns, Harrogate

Privatisation was just a con and a rip-off of public funds. Let’s see an end to it.

Stephen Field, Warwick

Yes please. I am sick of all these different companies and the fact that the government has to subsidise them in any case.

Christine Entwisle, London

When British Rail was privatised, I was concerned about a fragmented and uncoordinated service. I think this is what we now have. Bring back BR.

Virginia Griffin Monk, London

Nationalised is best.

Margaret Brown, Washington

If it ain’t broke don’t mend it.

Sarah Linton, Rochester

The country needs an efficient integrated railway system to facilitate economic growth.

Brian Alston, Maidstone

Privatisation has been a disaster.

Richard Baxter, Leeds

Southern Rail is a load of rubbish.

Liam Hall, Horley

They never should have been sold off any way.

Steven Thomas, Holyhead

East Coast is making money and they want to sell it off. It may finish up in foreign hands with our money going abroad, We need a joined-up railway system.

Douglas Arnold, Washington

I’d like to see the disintegrated industry of ROSCOs and operators unified into one, employee-owned trust.

Rowan Bell, Nottingham

It should never have been privatised, like all other public services – Water, Gas, Electricity, which were all sold to foreigners who made a fortune off the backs of British people.

David S., Milton Keynes

Help, Northern Rail victim! Train staff, ticket staff, station staff, management, trains – all cr*p – renationalise the lot now!

Mark Edwards, Preston

Bring back British Rail.

Alan Hughes, Liverpool

Yes please, we can run it better and cheaper with 1st class service.

Norman Sullivan, Nottingham

Why should we pay subsidies to these companies in order that they can make a profit?

Roy Whittles, Huddersfield
