Please – a not-for-profit, consumer-owned organisation.

Robin Brown, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Last train from Birmingham to Stafford on a Saturday night is 10.35. This is 2017, this is the future, not 1918. A system that works for the customers not the shareholders please.

Paul Wheeler, Stafford

Train fares should be reduced when bus replacement service is in operation and notification of why it has been necessary.

Alan Frost, Eastbourne

A profitable asset for the UK not shareholders.

Rob Bowles, Manchester

We should all support this campaign for affordable, not for profit transport for the masses.

Shane Pym, Broadwindsor

East Coast showed it can be done.

William Conrad, Oundle

Just bring back BR. It was so much nicer and easier to deal with and, being state-owned, you knew where you were.

Peter Van-Stratten, Cardiff

Bring back the love of travel and not the love of money.

Rob Gray, London

As a regular rail user of Great Western between Paddington and Plymouth, I find it slower and stupidly expensive with the same 40 year old trains and no plans to improve it.

Wayne Elsworth, Plymouth

It’s no joke when you can’t visit your family as much as you would like due to over-inflated fares.

Patricia Jones, Birkenhead

Please bring back British Rail. Private companies such as East Midland Trains and First Great Western are ripping us off. Travel fares must be reduced and affordable.

Zulekha Limalia, Leicester

Aside from GNER, Anglia Railways and Chiltern, privatisation has done nothing for the discerning passenger.

Benjamin Denton-Cardew, Ipswich

It’s a ludicrous system of ticket-pricing. It’s £10 cheaper for a return to Dartford than it is to London from King’s Lynn even though that is via London.

Elaine Musker, King’s Lynn

The railways should be run for the good of the user not for private profit

Steve Lewzey, Edenbridge

National public transport should be run for the public by the government and not by profit incentivised commercial companies.

Jonathan Ellison, Cheltenham

Rip-off Britain. See it by rail, if only you could afford to.

Alan Rimmer, Fleetwood

Please keep up the pressure on these stupid politicians.

Aubrey Stafford, Retford

The sooner the better. Privatisation has only benefitted the shareholders. Never mind what the passengers have to suffer.

Arthur Bond, Frome

We need continuous long-term investment in our rail services and the only way to achieve that is through public ownership.

Alison Gibney, St Albans

It will be fairer and safer and profit will go back into improving rail services and not to shareholders.

Robert Hart, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Why not re-nationalise, take more people off benefits to work in the Industry to, once again, give good customer service, instead of demoralising them with unemployment.

Shirley Coupe, Norwich

Disgusting that foreign companies are shortlisted to run Welsh trains following Brexit. Let’s have a British company trading as British Rail.

Liz Humphreys, Oswestry

I have used trains for thirty years and have experienced the service drop and prices rise consistently due to greed and incompetence. Enough of this.

Liz Lacey, Liverpool

I used to be able to board a train at Oxenholme and go through to Totnes or Penzance. Now I have to haul my luggage off at Birmingham New St. and change. I hate this.

Gillian Kelly, Ambleside

Subsidies should go towards running the trains, not to train operating companies.

Jim Waight, Hertford

Brilliant. Fight.

Mike Jakeways, Oundle

Higher fares, more taxpayer subsidy, equals shareholder payout or to foreign railway operators.

Kenneth Marshall, Colchester

If they can do it in the rest of Europe, why not here?

Trish Joscelyne, East Sussex

It’s a diabolical service and they don’t care about the passengers, but useless top managers are paid millions.

Mike Kirwan, Nottingham

Yet another totally fed up railway user.

Andrew Ganley, Sutton, Surrey
