We need to bring the railways back to the people. It’s getting so that we can’t afford to go to work.

Lorraine Martland, Milton Keynes

End the rip-off of rail passengers. Public ownership now.

Jack Johnson, Liverpool

My anxiety is through the roof because of constant delays. I’ve missed important work meetings, weddings and holidays and pay through the nose for it.

Emma Jackson, Brighton

The railways have never been the same since they were privatised.

Veronica Hobbs, Wootton, Bedfordshire

We’re bringing back Great British Rail with Sir Jeremy Corbyn in 2017 to make the UK OK.

Paul Bright, Bournemouth

We need an integrated system run by one body with even prices, not bargain basement for some and exorbitant for the workers.

Trish Harewood, Godmanchester

By signing this I am not showing any political allegiance – just a preference for Tunisian rail travel which is much superior to Britain’s. This must mean something.

Wendy Venters, Fraserburgh

Yes, and bring back buffet cars as well.

Sven Hanson, Brighton

Never have so many of the British public been conned by so few.

Brian Ellison, Wigan

As a person who frequents public transport for personal and business reasons, I’m appalled at the high prices, bad conditions and shoddy policies.

Kyle Perkins, Totnes

If the right (qualified but not greedy) staff at the top were to be appointed, we the British public could have a well run, efficient, and affordable train service.

Linda Harte, Bourne

Although it was by no means perfect as BR, it was a whole lot better than now. Employ real railway people at the top too, not business Muppets who don’t understand.

Kaeren Daunt-Jones, Rochester

The success of the East Coast franchise in public ownership shows just what can be achieved. All the rail franchises should be taken back into public ownership.

John Salter, Consett

Some say British Rail failed the nation but what really failed the nation was the government, who took the easy way out.

Mike Friend

I’ve had enough of this privatised rail charade, costing taxpayers more and more. East Coast Direct Rail is the right approach. Re-open strategic lines, e.g. Oxford-Cambridge.

David Eldridge, Wallingford

It is not working, late trains and profits going to faceless people, where it should be taking care of passengers. There are not enough carriages for folk to sit down.

Florence Arthur, Edinburgh

Jeremy Corbyn as PM will re-nationalise the railways and I’m looking forward to it.

Mary Taylor, London

Privatisation sells the UK by the pound. Virtually all sales have been made under Tory governments. They’ve all but sold the NHS now.

Bernadette Potts, Manchester

Public sector for public transport.

Matt Rogerson, Llanelli

British Rail – the clue is in the name. Network Rail and the private rail companies should be under one organisation.

Lyn Mackfall, Doncaster

They’re robbing taxpayers blind.

Jane Topliss, Derby

I completely agree. Tickets are over-priced and service isn’t good.

Philip Kingston, Woking

Privatisation of public services has been a disaster (except for the fat cats). Let’s take back as our own.

Robert Pankhurst, St Albans

We’ve just had enough – 10 years too much.

Jennifer David, Southend-on-Sea

Transport should be made to help the country not make a few a huge profit.

Karl McKay, Torquay

National action now!

Daniel Carr, Birmingham

This is longer overdue. Bring back British Rail.

Matthew Stirland, Doncaster

As it now costs more taxpayers’ money (in real terms) with privatisation, it will be cheaper to re-nationalise (and much better.)

Peter Turnbull, Turners Hill

We should have a national rail system without a single doubt.

Julie Blunden, Harrogate
