I support the return of BR.

Ronald Copeland, Brighouse

Bring back British Rail.

M Shone, Penzance

Stop putting money into the pockets of the greedy privatised railway owners.

Stevan Hezseltine, Carshalton Beeches

The only way is for the network to be public.

Judith Lee, Cleckheaton

Rebalancing is desperately needed. Let’s start with our railway system.

Mark Flack, Holyhead

Privatisation has been a disaster for passengers and a bean feast for rail companies.

Roger Theaker, Liverpool

We must get people to join together for this extremely worthy cause.

Malcolm Clayton

Privatisation of the railways has been a disaster. The only people to benefit are shareholders – passengers have been screwed over.

Keith Smith, Hounslow

We need a nationalised rail service back for the good of the country.

Nicholas Eve, Shefford

It was so much better before privatisation.

Esme Zarins, Newbury

Bring back British Rail. Enough is enough.

Jonathan Davies, Scunthorpe

The Post Office too while you’re at it.

Sarah Kay, London

This is just one of the assets stolen from the people by John Major’s government. The railway should be returned in good condition after all that subsidy.

Michael Attard, Newton Abbot

I’d like a rail system where I can afford and understand the tickets, not one where I make fat cats richer.

Paul Blackwell, Theale

Our rail network is being sucked dry by the fat cats and their shareholders. Until the network is running at its full potential no dividends should be paid to anyone.

Colin Gray, Inverness

I’m fed up with the mess of franchises that all seem to rip us off.

John Selby, London

Our state should run our rail, not foreign states.

Simon Wolfers, Llanbedr

Bring back British Rail.

Koto Senyo, London

Nationalise the means of production, distribution and exchange.

Kevin O’Hanrahan, London

We have suffered for far too long with an inadequate and exorbitantly overpriced rail service. Year on year we pay more for a service that is failing us at every corner.

Alice Lucas, Brighton

It is so disjointed that it is unreal, needs to be nationalised to function for the many not the few.

Kevin Dudding, Kingston-upon-Hull

The government should run the country to benefit citizens, not big business. They need to be reminded of this.

Susan Shaw, Barnsley

Privatisation was never good for service users. It’s time to admit it was big mistake.

Anne Diamond, Sutton Coldfield,

It’s about time it was returned to us. East Coast Rail has proved that it works better than privately-owned.

Liz Andelin, Otley

The government had no right to privatise British Rail – and without our permission. Where does Cameron get off?

S Tuffham

The only thing to increase since privatisation of our railways is the obscene profits for the company directors whilst passengers’ fares soar to astronomic heights.

Pamela Mitchell, Edinburgh

The British travelling public have been sold down the river by treacherous governments. Nationalise now.

Eric Lackford, Largs

Everyone knows it makes sense.

Graham Spence, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Stop privatising our services.

Heidi Crompton, Bolton
