We have had enough. Fix this now!

Danielle O’Hara, Lancashire

The people will it.

Jim Harkson, Lincolnshire

Poking our digits into the tyranny of spreadsheets.

Ian Halstead, Hull

Privatisation of our railways has been an abject, expensive failure..John Major should hang his head in shame.

Michael Markson, London

Privately-run public transport is simply not working. I never had any issues with BR. Bring it back.

Michael Kingsnorth, London

It’s time the railways are nationalised again. The private companies have reaped millions in profit and failed on all levels. Unacceptable.

Paul Hathaway, Stafford

Three painful words – Govia ThamesLink Railway.

Thomas Broome, Hayward’s Heath

It is important that our tax money is invested properly in a nationalised, efficient service, affordable to passengers.

Natalia Hamon, Penzance

We deserve a service that suits the public, not the profit-making private. Also to encourage the use of a greener transport system.

Alfred English, Colchester

I’m sick of paying exorbitant SW Train prices to fund shareholders.

Mike Smith, Egham

Privatisation has simply not delivered the benefits that were promised. For me, I never believed it would.

Mark Bentley, Leicester

It’s time to end the naked profiteering of the privatised railways and run them for the benefit of those who use them.

Daniel Illingworth, Bradford

Cost of 4 weekly oyster cards zone 1-9 is £320+. My rent with all bills included is £470. Travel costs are a disgrace.

Nigel Filer, Watford

British Rail was one of the strongest emblems of national identity Britain had. If our country isn’t over by Sept 19, Milliband, bring BR back.

Alice Cochrane, Brora

Re-nationalise now.

Elfyn Griffith, Bristol

With a better pricing strategy we can open the arteries to the cities and towns, moving the work force better and reducing the carbon footprint.

Richard Grant, Long Eaton

It’s financial and operational sense to have a nationalised railway. I believe it’s time to have our railways run for people not profit.

Peter Harding, Reading

Unfair prices and no porters to help, and these are only things I can see.

Barbara White, Ilford

Lets go back to a service for the public not a service for a few shareholders.

Chris Clarke, Huddersfield

It’s an essential public service.

Tim Miles, London

A fair deal for all passengers.

Calum Spencer, Aberdeen

We must rebuild our country’s economy and to do this we need a fully integrated and affordable public transport system centred on the British railways.

Paul Bright

Yes, a train service should be run for the benefit of all, not for the benefit for the few, heavily supported by public funds anyway.

Ken Oatlley, Corsham

Bring back British Rail. What a nonsense that money which should be ploughed back into a better rail service is used to line the pockets of shareholders.

Richard Mandridge, Petersfield

The current system is too complicated and unaccountable and civil servants would be too involved in micro-management. Let the railway be run by professionals again.

Patrick Adams, Barnstaple

I travelled by steam train to school. It”s the best way to travel if only they were better organised.

Jean Gray, Whitstable

Time to do something about the railways. What about an integrated transport system running on nationally produced electricity from British coal?

David Hart, Chesterfield

The continuing rise in the price of rail fares is completely unjustified given the terrible service.

Duncan Banks, Milton Keyns

Stop foreign companies creaming off the profits.

Martin Mills, Tunbridge Wells
