Severe overcrowding.

Melanie James, Uttoxeter

All the money the Government are making from the East Coast main line just goes to show why the rest of the network needs to come back in house.

Anthony Bush, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

The privately franchised rail service is making it impossible for people in the South to get to London by train. We need nationalised rail now.

Mary Lloyd, Southampton

Better a public than a private monopoly.

Robin Holden, Chipping Norton

We should get value for money and not pour funds into the fat cats’ pockets.

Philip Macdermott, London

Bring back a modernised high-speed network and a unified BR, get rid of Network Rail and micro government interference.

Peter Boggett, Cardiff

This service isn’t fit for purpose. It’s an absolute shambles.

Jason Hines, Colchester

First Great Western abuse their powers. Words cannot describe how unjust and biased they have been towards me.

Khalid Rasool, Reading

Great Campaign. I fully support its ideals The Tories deliberately ran the railways into the ground through lack of funding in order to convince the public to privatise.

Steven White, Hull

This sort of concerted action by ordinary people is long overdue. The evidence of privatised rail failure stares us in the face.

Malcolm Love, Steyning

Time for a change. Commuters have increasingly been mugged off by the rail companies and Network Rail for too long.

Steve Cobb, Ashford

It’s time to put it back where it belongs.

Andy Black, Edinburgh

Like all things that work better as a monopoly, it should be under common ownership.

Michael Dawson, South Shields

Get all our utilities back into public ownership.

Mike Sherry, Dudley

I’m disgruntled and fed up with daily cancellations, delays and overcrowded peak-time services on the Luton/St Albans to Sevenoaks service.

Tristan Owen, London

Time to re-nationalise. Private rail is another example of the horrible public impact of right wing economic policy. It was very obviously never going to work.

Jaime Warne, London

I love train, found it, as a fun way to travel.

Leonor Fontanilla De Aur

We want a re-unified national rail network run for people not private profit.

Elizabeth Thomson, Edinburgh

My father worked for British Rail from 1947 until 1958 when he was made redundant due to privatisation. He was devastated.

Joan How, Luton

The railways are a public service and a monopoly and should be funded for the common good out of general taxation, but effectively managed and overseen.

Lawrence Hall, Brighton

Train with standing room only is a joke. Livestock have more rights to travel safely Private companies always check the bottom line and are beholden to shareholders.

Ian Crawford, Leighton Buzzard

Public ownership of public transport is a no-brainer.

Nick Morgan, Newcastle

Current system of franchises has failed. Time for a rethink.

Chris Allan, Dundee

All utilities, but particularly transport, should be in state ownership, not foreign-controlled multi-nationals.

Anthony Amor, Dovercourt

I’m almost 70 and have travelled extensively on trains all of my life. The service was better when nationalised. Now it’s bad service, no seats and too expensive for me.

Glen Summers, Burton

British Rail publicly owned would be operating in the interests of the stakeholders.

Hilary Parnell, Rickmansworth

Nationalisation for a national asset.

Suleman Ahmed, London

The current privatised system is bureaucratic, uncoordinated and very expensive for both state and passengers.

John Gibson, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Train fares are way too high.

Craig Pitman, Essex
