David Fox, ChesterfieldGet more commercial transport back on the rails and off our roads.
Jareth Turner, MargateSouth East Trains is the most terribly formed transport company I have seen.
Andy Moore, PenzanceListen to the public. This has gone on for long enough.
John Dunn, ChesterfieldNationalise all privatised industries.
David Priest, NorwichIf something does not work out in a big way we seem too timid to correct the mistake (e.g. rail privatisation). Prices compare terribly to those in mainland Europe.
Chris Yates, NorthwichThis needs to happen. What is the use of a train that is less than half-filled to capacity when you charge through the nose? Give British Rail back to the people.
Gary Clark, SunderlandOur railways would be much better suited in the public’s hands and not Cameron’s Spiv capitalists.
Helle Kristjansen, LondonA transport system is essential for our society, not for investors to make a profit. No-one should make profit on something which is a key to how we exist.
Ian Massey, ManchesterProfit over service equals major problems – hours and hours and hours of wasted time, lateness for work impacting on productivity etc. Bring back British Rail.
Phil Mason, ManchesterNo to HS2. Yes to a decent Liverpool-Leeds line.
Mike Devane, St NeotsAs an ex BR employee and First employee I think the railways should never have been privatised. They cost far less to run when they were BR.
Dan Cooper, BrightonIt is not the fault of the workers, it is the government’s failure.
Terry Thomson, SwanseaInstead of wasting money on high speed rail, spend it on putting back all the branch lines to bring life back into the country, also creating lots more jobs.
Thomas Butlin, LoughboroughWe own it.
Roger Sternad, DoncasterRailways should be a social service, not a money making one. Profit making has benefit in some limited situations. It is not a one-size-fits-all miracle cure.
Julie Ward, Bishop AucklandI love travelling by train but hate lining the pockets of fat cats. We want cheap, efficient travel for all with no need for handouts to shareholders. We all own this.
Ian Ferguson, LondonEast Coast Rail shows how it can be done.
Alison Damant, BradfordThey should never have been de-nationalised in the first place.
Lawrence Paulson, CambridgePrivatisation has just allowed private companies to enrich themselves at our expense.
Lynne Jackson, HinckleyCross Country Trains are a disgrace. The country urgently needs new rolling stock, even countries like Georgia can buy sparkly spacious Swiss trains.
John Marshall, MorpethRail essential service is best and effective in public ownership.
Christine Cudworth, WakefieldYou are doing a fantastic job.
Peter Worth, NottinghamThe whole rail system is a mess. Bring back British Rail.
Richard Stephenson Winter, MorpethI am increasingly of the opinion that natural monopolies should be in public ownership.
Joan George, BeaconsfieldA nationalised railway is run for people. All profit should be ploughed back into improving the service.
Judy Pemberton, PrestatynSomething like this needs to be under one umbrella to make sure things run smoothly and be sure that maintenance is properly carried out on a regular basis.
John Rennie, ChepstowRail privatisation has been the best argument for state ownership in the last 30 years.
Christopher Shaw, Berwick-upon-TweedEast Coast is a good service and is profitable in public ownership. Keep it that way.
Lynn Dorling, Edingley, NewarkThe best rail service at the moment is East Coast. Cheerful, efficient service, usually on time, makes a healthy profit. De-privatise the rest but keep the efficiencies.
Gavin Hudson, SheffieldI couldn’t take a job with a £7K pay rise because I would have had to travel to London two days a week, which made me £200 a month worse off even after the pay rise.
