I’m sick of the cost of train tickets.

David Ellershaw, High Bentham

Forget High speed 2, regenerate some of what we already have, and don’t forget East-West line.

Susan Legg, Bedford

Hoorah and about time. Stop privatisation and greedy, profit-hungry shareholders and re-nationalise everything again.

Julie Sinclair, Nottingham

East Coast trains has proved it can work, so please put the railways back into the public domain where any profits are re-invested, rather than being paid out as bonuses.

Mark Bradshaw, Cairneyhill

I’m 100% behind this. We need a unified rail system. Privatisation has given us awful service.

Jack Rutherford, Cambridge

Southern Rail is a disgrace, negatively impacting the economy, businesses and peoples health and lives.

M Atkins, Chichester

Privatising BR was a blatant disregard for the millions of passengers who use it every day for work. The only ones benefitted were the companies and the MPs directorships.

Collin Deurance, Brighton

Transport, like healthcare and education, is a basic human right and it’s prime objective should be service not profit.

Curran McKay, London

The cost of rail fares now is so expensive I can no longer afford to travel.

Debby Poole, Stoke-on-Trent

Expensive, unreliable, worn out stock, needs central control across the board. Take away from the franchisees who are only interested in their bottom line.

Elaine Whybrow, Dartford

The system requires unification. Trains used to connect with one another but no longer do so. Ticket purchase was much simpler and the ticket was valid for all lines.

Teresa Wormald, Knaresborough

We need a coordinated rail system and cheaper fares.

Kevin Higgins , Ely

Bring back British Rail instead of this current appalling excuse for a rail system which is more about private profit than service.

Eugenia Frisoli, London

Most countries have state-owned railways that work well. Britain should return to that method again. Passengers should come first.

Ian Brown, Belper

The privatised network is a far bigger drain on the public purse than British Rail ever was. The privatised network makes no economic sense.

Paul Lydiate, London

It just needs to be done.

Richard Barton, Southampton

Privatisation has brought none of the benefits promised and has raised prices and provided a debilitated service.

Janice Windle, Guildford

Bring British Rail back under public ownership, and gas and electricity too if you ask me. Power back to the people.

Brian Watson, Rotherham

We need an integrated, nationally owned rail service, not one fractured into competing companies – some partly owned by other countries’ national rail companies.

Sheila Cross, Northallerton

Adopt the method put forward by the unions in 2005. Re-nationalise at expiry of contracts.

Mike Robinson, Torpoint

Bring back British Rail.

David Cottrell, Cromer

The monopoly the train companies have over the lines we have no choice but to use is disgraceful and should not be tolerated

Kyle Amps, Birmingham

For the people not the fat cat’s.

Ashley Rawcliffe, Huddersfield

I heard about the campaign on BBC Radio 4 Today Programme 27 Aug 2016. Good luck.

David Knight, Eynsham

Do the right thing. Stop ripping us off and stop telling us the railways were built on the funds of business men. Railways should be state owned.

Tony Logan, Northampton

Give it back and stop privatising. We own it, the people of the United Kingdom.

Dennis Browne, Peterborough

The kind of people who complain about the bureaucracy of the EU are the same kind of people who designed the Byzantine complexity of Britain’s privatised railway.

Terry Grimley, Birmingham

Privatisation of the rail network has devastated this country. I think the entire infrastructure of the UK is falling apart bit by bit. It’s very sad to see this happening…

Julia Logie, Heathfield

Bring back BR. We overpay for a terrible service. Privatisation should never have happened.

Lynda Haydney, St Leonards on Sea

We need transport for the public, not transport for private profit.

Andrew Cartwright, Chester
