David Bradley, HoveAs soon as possible.
Kevin Hickson, South ShieldsOur railways should be run by Britain and not foreign companies. Prices have soared whilst the service has remained diabolical, Bring back British Rail.
Lawrence Molloy, LeedsIt’s time to claim back the silver from the privatised porn shop.
Matt Chadwick, NottinghamI agree 100%. Public services, not profits.
John Bryan, YorkTran Pennine is overcrowded and East Coast is working well. That says it all.
Michael Rowland-Hill, OrpingtonWe now have fewer, older and more expensive trains. Bring back BR.
William Boyd, WareI’m a recent convert after travelling on state-owned railways in Europe – cleaner, cheaper, air-conditioned, punctual.
John Peter Anderson, Newcastle-upon-TyneLet us see a genuine transport system made for the 21st Century. Britain is way behind Europe in rail travel. Think people not profit.
Chris Holmes, Colchesterex-Tinsley Diesel Maintenance Depot.
Chris Uren, BracknellI used to work for BR at Reading, loved every minute of it then they privatised it and it lost its attraction.
Anne Ackroyd, PeterboroughEast Coast is doing really well. Let’s keep it publicly run and integrate the whole network too.
Steve Ferguson, HuntlyThe government bought the railways before. Make them do it again.
Sue Brooks, HarlowI’m fed up with trains being late, dirty seats, and the price of tickets. I travel from Harlow to Great Yarmouth and it’s gone from under £40 to nearly £57. That’s disgusting.
Catherine Brotherston, EdinburghAll transport systems should be integrated, reasonably priced and in public ownership.
Tomm Taylor, ManchesterI have to get the train in to school everyday and the services are ridiculous.
Lauren Hellicar, BrightonBecause this just isn’t working.
Sean Connor, GlasgowA public transportation system for the people should be run by the people and not run for profit.
Nigel Stacey, DidcotPrivatisation does not work, just lines the pockets of shareholders and management with money that could be reinvested in the infrastructure.
Kevin Webb, AccringtonThe current rail structure is lunacy with no real competition anyway. I believe there are 23 companies responsible for different aspects of safety etc.
Hany Taha, Bognor RegisBring back BR.
Bill Porter, LiverpoolStop destroying our magnificent railways and heritage just to make a financial killing.
Allan Savage, CramlingtonBritish Rail should never have been privatised for it belongs to the people.

Roger WilliamsI’m fed up of paying full price for low quality service and double standards regarding blocking aisles.
Linda Padgett, HalifaxThese railway networks must belong to the Nation to serve our people without damaging the countryside but modernised for the future.
Tom Powell, OxfordFares since privatisation have spiralled out of control and the quality of service on some routes has actually decreased (namely First Group) Look at East Coast. BBBR!
Anna Worthy, SunderlandRailways need to be in public ownership. We would save one billion a year.
Phil Nicholson, NottinghamIt would get rid of the chaos of having several different train companies charging different amounts for the same journeys.
