Aaron Williams, HastingsIt’s time to have services publicly owned again, starting with the national rail.
Robert Stewart, AkeleyFair deal for passengers and not money going to shareholders.
Michael Doherty, GloucesterIt was never going to work.
Francis Voisey, ExeterRailways should exist to serve the public, not to make a profit at the travelling public’s expense.
Gareth Haydock, BoltonRe-nationalising British Rail is the only remedy for poor accountability, bad standards onboard trains and constantly rising costs. Public ownership would improve these.
Simon Neller, LondonPublic transportation is a utility, not a for-profit business.
Barbara Ann Spencer, LondonLet’s keep on this. It’s so relevant and the trains are so expensive compared to Europe.
Megan Forbes, WallaseyIt costs me £641 a year to get to work and the amount of times trains are delayed or cancelled with no bus replacement is ridiculous.
Kathleen Byrne, Newcastle-upon-TyneBritish Rail should be kept public and not sold off to those only interested in money.
Paul Docherty, LondonLet’s get the profiteers out of our railways and re-invest profits back into the industry. Keep the guards on the trains.
John Batey, BedlingtonIn a mixed economy intelligence, not doctrine, should inform how areas contribute to society. The railways need one overall strategy.
Paul Nelson, ChorleyStop the greed and give us back our transport.
Mark Renwick, LeedsRe-nationalise the railways.
Les Railton, HullI remember when British trains were something to be proud of. We should put that right again.
Brian Stephenson, BlaydonProfit before service is immoral. A nationalised rail service is essential to ensure that passengers, including visitors to the UK, enjoy a well-run, affordable service.
Oliver Otway, SudburyRe-nationalise the power companies while you are at it, so they can’t blackmail you with power cut threats.
Andree Mehew, LondonBecause it’s the best.
Ellie Harrison, GlasgowI just want to be able to buy a fairly priced ticket on the day I need to travel. I’m fed up with the free market and the madness of advance purchase deals.
Alan Pool, RoystonBring public transport back to the public again, instead of subsidising the profits of private shareholders.
Ternan Macnamara, ThirskThe first experiment in private management of transport in this country ran for 100years – the turnpike system. It ended because it was useless and expensive.
Alexander Cruisey, BrightonMake it happen.
Jonathan Pope, CambridgeLets do this.
Derek Robertson, ArbroathWe need a nationalised railway. Privatisation leads to high fares and share holder pay-outs.
John Burrell, CambridgeA co-ordinated transport system is essential to a 21st Century developed country. This cannot be achieved with the current set up.
Sam Giles, BirminghamEvery day I get ripped off travelling to London for work (to pay taxes) yet I can’t afford to spend to fuel the economy, because the train company takes it all!
Ruby James, Stoke-on-TrentI’m a student studying in Bristol and I am rarely able to visit home because of extortionate prices, let alone travel.
Scott Macdonald, EdinburghA service and a public good for people, not profit.
Douglas Cook, PenzanceTransport is the business of us all and should not have been stolen for the sole benefit of shareholders.
Fran Waight, HertfordWe would have a better and cheaper railway if it was re-nationalised.
Jerry Scales, AylesburyNational assets should not be sold off. We are laughed at by other countries.
