Public subsidy, private profit? No. No. No! Democratise our transport systems!

Neil Griffiths, London

Rail prices are extortionate.

Jen Roberts, Skelmersdale

Connectivity, simple fare system, all better as British Rail, with profits ploughed back.

Philip Barlow, Nottingham

It’s currently far too expensive for such a poor service. Let’s get it nationalised again!

Mark Legg, Sheerness

Stop crippling your own workforce by making it more difficult and expensive to get to work.

Ian Sharman, Norwich

The railways can be managed much more efficiently in the public sector. We need an integrated system.

Anne Bundock, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

I use the trains every day and I’m completely fed up with the frankly shocking standard of service and complete lack of accountability and finger pointing elsewhere.

Phil Taylor, Gloucester

We need a singular railway operation.

Claire James, Coventry

Bring back British Rail for all.

Jaxx Carter, Wirral

Cheap trains for all

Noz Mcneil, Derby

The Rail Network should be British, run by an efficient British management such as that controlling the profitable East Coast line.

John Briddon, Sheffield

Please get rid of this impenetrable system that serves no-one. It’s supposed to be a major transport system for a whole country and so it should be in the hands of the government.

Christina Richardson, Seaford

Put people before profit.

Sheila Rowhan, London

Prices are extortionate. The Government wants people to stop driving solo so should make public transport more affordable.

Dennison Packer, Canterbury

I’d love to use trains more but, almost every time I do, I’m staggered by the inefficiency and outrageous cost of the service. It needs to change.

Gregg Burnell, Chesterfield

Another privatisation disaster.

Les Bullock, Cannock

Southeastern to go.

Paul Jeffries, Kent

Nationalised service is the only way our money is reinvested in the railways and not creamed off by profiteering shareholders and Tory fat cats.

Jill Radford, Saltburn

We need a unified publicly-run rail service.

Mark Harrison, Ilkley

Please, please bring back British Rail.

Isobel Hodkinson, Dronfield

The expensive mess has gone on too long.

Alec Murdoch, Edinburgh

Give up this capitalistic idea that the network runs better under private ownership. It’s a joke – overpriced and underinvested.

Lee Stevens, Portsmouth

Take it all back.

Mark Thomas, Merthyr Tydfil

I think everyone has had enough. I know of constant fare increases, overcrowded trains and delays due to staffing levels.

Cyril Osborne, Bolton

Nationalisation is necessary to lower fares and make rail travel more affordable and attractive in the face of the climate crisis.

Gregor McIntosh, Kirriemuir

It’s about time that the most efficient railway in Europe came back and put an end to the privatisation chaos.

Thomas Gray, Exeter

The British Rail I knew in my childhood was the pride of this nation and an example for the World. With vision, it can be again.

Adam Greenfield, London

As in everything else, decent ordinary people are getting ripped off with fares and nothing has improved whatsoever.

Ashley Colman, Leeds

As A student I can get to London for

Daniel Brookes, Sedgley

I want British Rail back.

Jack Smith, Totnes
