The fragmented and over-priced railways system which treats all commuters as cattle should be brought under Government control so that we can hold our MPs to account.

Barry Gooch, Wantage

There are some things which should be owned by the people, for the people, not by corporations and fat cats for profit. This is one of them.

Grace Distill, St Albans

If a national rail works in France, Spain, Italy and Germany, then why not here? Re-instate British Rail.

Jacinta Appleby, London

Trains are way too expensive. I cannot afford to use them any more and I have to look for jobs in my own town as commuting would not be financially possible.

Victoria Hunt, Doncaster

Since de-nationalisation rail prices have gone up and up, especially in London and the South-east, whilst services have got worse, with trains arriving late or not at all.

Jo Boorman, Orpington

Bring it back.

Jim Love, Middlesbrough

We need to unify the railways again to make them much cheaper for us to use, so we need British Railways back again.

Colin Carpenter, Bedford

Nationalise the railways. Owned by the people, for the people.

Sophie Wildman, London

Re-nationalise as soon as possible and stop this expensive chaotic idiocy.

John Croll, Royston

Rail for public service not for private profit, please.

Mary Wolf, Croydon

Bring back a rail that is not just for profit, but for the people who have to use these services.

Christopher Harrison, Warrington

Beeching got it wrong in the 60s and the Tories got it wrong in the 90s. We need a unified rail transport system for the UK.

It should never have been sold off at all.

Angela Lumb, Selby

Yes, take it all back, but don’t spoil it by outlandish claims when we do.

David Elford Johnson, Telford

Yes, stop the obscene rail prices. Bring back British Rail.

Aaron Watkins, Bardsea

Cut ticket prices not jobs – Network Rail Employee.

Jamie Newman, Didcot

Not for profit.

Miles Bradley, Birmingham

I was an employee during the late 1980s, working at Euston House and Rail House Euston for British Rail.

Jane Mcguigan, Watford

Two franchises run by the government have both worked better than private franchises. Wake up and smell the roses please.

Andrew Brown, Ipswich

The current service is impossible for elderly or disabled. And for fully able bodied and mind. All British Rail ever did wrong was limp lettuce in the sandwiches.

Alison Affleck, Stroud

Bring Back British Rail now.

Pat Ferguson, Nottingham

What’s the hold up? Get it done.

Paul Hawkins, Cardiff

Sam Satyanadhan, Southampton
