Mick Dawber, NottinghamBring back the railways where they belong.
Stephen Clandfield, LondonLet’s put passengers before shareholders’ dividends
Marie Smith, DurhamI believe strongly that all public transport, and particularly the rail network, should be nationalised.
Robin Squelch, StockportTime for separate rail networks to re-unite under one flag.
Richard Stakes, ScunthorpeTime to restore a national rail network. Privatisation has failed.
Jon HumphreysRail privatisation is legalised larceny. Train operators invest little cash but take massive profits. This wasn’t what the Tories promised.
John Devine, ChippenhamAbout time, bloody Thatcher.
Graham Lester George, NottinghamInfrastructure services should be for the national good, not shareholders’.
Anthony Ryan, HullPrivatisation equals poor service and higher prices.
Mark Stokes, PeterboroughThey should be owned by the employees, like John Lewis.
David Williams, StamfordIt couldn’t be worse than it is now. Where are the bigger trains we were promised 30 years ago? It’s still horrible on our line.
Stuart Bell, RedcarBring it on. But remember that Network Rail, supposedly in the public sector, but running wild with taxpayers’ money, is the biggest part of the problem.
John Edwards, EdinburghThey should never have been privatised in the first place. That was a transfer of wealth from the people of the UK to a few business people with no real returns.
Shirley Kobiela, FalkirkThe present system has de-railed the service, price and commitment. Give it back to the people.
Richard Brierley, DerbyPrices for train travel have soared through the roof and passengers are penalised financially if they travel at certain times.
Paul Worsnop, NottinghamI am sick of being ripped off by greedy companies whose only purpose is to maximise profits.
Gordon Daunt-Jones, RochesterOne of the worst government decisions ever made.
Carol Frazer, Haywards HeathHigh travel costs meant I had to give up a great job I love, instead of returning to work after maternity. Please tell me how the government supports working mums.
Alexis Parrinder-Nicholls, LondonTrain prices are a robbery, and the increases just don’t stop. Hugely unaffordable, an hour on the train should cost an hour of minimum wage.
Jake O’Leary, CheltenhamPrivate rail companies provide services that are over-priced and poorly run. Re-nationalise public transport and run it for people, not profit.
Alfred English, ColchesterWe deserve a service that suits the public, not the profit-making private. Also to encourage the use of a greener transport system.
Jane Angel, EdinburghLet’s have a national railway system that works as an inexpensive and real alternative to car and air travel. It makes sense on all sorts of levels.
Ryan Pengelly, ExeterWe want British Rail back.
Allen Teare, Bishop AucklandReturn railways into public hands, so that profits can be returned to the railways to improve services rather than the money going to shareholders.
Andrew Appleyard, OldhamAll public transport networks and systems should be run as not-for-profit, and all should either be re-nationalised or re-regulated whichever it is under.
Lynn Wallace, DennyI would like to see more coaches on for the peak time commuters and more on the long distant ones too.
Harry Keane, Gillingham, KentPublic services should be run for the public good, not private profit.
George Smith, Hemel HempsteadWith operators like London Midland and Greater Anglia this is argument enough for nationalisation.
Raymond Batchelor, ShildonBring back BR and let’s get rid of these MPs that are ruining this country. Privatisation doesn’t work and never will.
Carmen Edwards, WrexhamAnd then we can re-nationalise energy and water.
