Kristian Ramsingh, HatfieldBring back National Rail.
Gareth Tucker, AberystwythI find it shocking that when I am abroad (in Europe) trains are so much less hassle, and so much cheaper.
Chris Smith, NelsonPrivatisation has been a typical Tory scam.
Andrew Mclean-Reid, SherfieldThe railway is a service, not a business. It enables business, so should be viewed as a means to an end, not run as the end itself.
Toby Lister, BristolTime to end the farce that has become the privatised rail service.
Frances McNeil, LeedsYou know it makes sense.
Philco Gibson, LeedsBritish Rail belongs to the people, not private corporations.
Ian Wallace, SheffieldClimate change demands this. Aim to make it free at the point of use, like we nearly did in South Yorkshire a few years ago.
Peter Liddell, AshingtonGive it back. It wasn’t yours to sell in the first place.
Charles Asbury, SwanseaOne rail transit system for all, run for the good of all.
David Haimes, BarnsleyNever have so few robbed so many.
John Roberts, BrodickWe have the most expensive rail fares in Europe, crowded trains, and a totally uneven network depending on who owns what. Crazy.
David Roberts, West SussexI’m tired of paying high fares for bad service with no competition and no alternatives.
Anna Pollert, Leamington SpaRail transport is crucial infrastructure for a greener environment and should be a basic responsibility of the state, for the benefit of people, not private profit.
Katie Faddy, WinchesterTransport is one of the lifelines creating a better, more equitable and connected society. It should not be run for private profit.
Peter Short, NottinghamA publicly owned railway system will be better, and cheaper, for passengers and railway workers.
Richard PalmerService before profit.
Mhairi Grealis, LondonPrivatisation has brought huge profits, costing the taxpayer more for a terrible service with shocking fares. The Tories need to stop bank-rolling their mates.
Lynn Bates, CarlisleYes Ed, be bold and re-nationalise the railways. Also ban fracking while you’re about it.
Amy Sargent, PortsmouthI would like to ask my local MP, Penny Mordaunt (Con) to actually speak out and call for a motion on this. The saving and benefits are undeniable.
Peter Davis, LeicesterSome rail operators are operating trains that are so over-full they must be breaking H and S regulations. There should be refunds for passengers without seats.
Paul Pearson, ShrewsburyI hate having to wait on a platform and let trains to my destination leave, as my ticket is not valid on that service.
Aidan Shabaily, LiverpoolPrivate services do not work. Services should be government run as public services, not for private profit.
Shannon Kilday, GlasgowThis scrappy service is not worth the amount of money I spend on it.
Louis Boyce, Kingston-upon-ThamesOnce upon a time we, the common people of the UK, did own BR. Then we gave it away to the rich kids to play with.
Tom Voute, PurleyPrivatising the railway system was a very expensive mistake, only done for ideological reasons.
Stephen Newberry, HoveI think that a country’s public transport is a reflection of what the powers that be think of their citizenry.
Lynda Woodroffe, LondonThe railways have got worse and worse and more and more expensive under privatisation. It should never have been put on the market.
Matt Haskins, LondonA state-owned rail network now.
Thomas Gray, ExeterIt’s about time that the most efficient railway in Europe came back and put an end to the privatisation chaos.
