Shane Storrow, PembrokeshireBring back BR.
John McKinnie, FleetI am thoroughly sick of the one traffic of driving all public assets into private hands. The services are then poorly run and sold back to us at shocking prices.
Daniel Crouch, RochesterI travel from Chatham Station to London St Pancras International at an ever increasing fare and nothing extra for it. I cannot see where the money is going other than dividends.
Marina Matosic, BoltonMy commute from Bolton to Manchester is beyond belief. It is far worse than any journey on the London Underground.
Bethany White, SouthamptonMake rail fares fair.
Mike Shilton, StaffordThe general public are being priced out of rail travel by the private owners of the rail firms who only care about their shareholders’ profits.
Ann Tosta, WakefieldThe railways should be in public hands. It’s supposed to be privatised, yet governments continue to subsidise these companies.
David Simm, WarringtonWhat has happened with the East Coast main line proves privatisation is not progress.
Colin FlowerdayI will be glad when the British Railways board is running all our railways again and Cameron gets six lace holes up his arse!
Louise Scullion, DundeeA non-privatised, national rail network is the backbone of any mature developed country.
Allan Precious, BillinghamWe need a rail system that looks after the public, not share holders as at present.
Norman Clegg, BlackpoolBring back our low fare railways God Save British Rail.
Marianne Hitchen, SheffieldPrivatised railways make no sense. Look at the fantastic French system. You can’t plan proper infrastructure improvements without looking at the overall picture.
Andree Rodriguez-Veglio, DaventryIt’s nonsense for fragmentation in so small a landmass. We all prefer train travel in a single network.
Raymond Howells, DinningtonTime to stop pandering to the failed markets and letting foreign government-backed organisations buy our railway.
Susan GassawayWhat about the Post Office and Royal Mail?
David Kent, WhistonThey should never have been privatised in the first place.
Christina Richardson, SeafordPlease get rid of this impenetrable system that serves no-one. It’s supposed to be a major transport system for a whole country and so it should be in the hands of the government.
Lloyd Kennedy, LondonGet rid of this scam now.
Greg Sutton, FleetTime for a change.
Denise GortonI agree with nationalisation so long as it is managed well and aims to reduce goods and cars on the roads and serves all areas of the UK.
Brian Muston, Minster-on-SeaI totally agree the money being given to the private operators should be used to improve the network.
Thomas Renstrom, DurhamStandard text book economics tells you that private ownership of a natural monopoly is a bad idea. Train service is cheaper and better in countries with public ownership.
Neil Sheehan, MerseysideI’m a former rail commuter but I still want to see the return to a nationalised rail industry.
Keith Wallis, GosportI agree. What we are seeing is legal larceny for the privatised railways to make annual profits in excess of 100% and still accept public subsidies.
Jacob Tong, LondonAbsolute Economic Sense
Richard Carpenter, AbergavennyQualified support only as I don’t want the trade unions running the service.
Lisa Trendall, Lowestoft, SuffolkBeing a child that grew up on the railway when it was still BR, I have a particular interest in seeing our declining railways return back to being run by the Government.
Sydney Hobson, LeedsI want all utilities back in public ownership and without giving any compensation.
Paul George, BrightonLet’s get our railways as good as the French.
