Richard Smith, BungayWe need a national railway network that the whole nation can be proud of – not the shambolic mess that we have now.
Bernard Hurley, Hemel HempsteadWe need a reliable, reasonably priced, rail service. This will never be achieved without re-nationalisation.
Khalid Talati, ManchesterIf prices keep going up, eventually people won’t be able to afford to get to work. Nationalise the railways now.
Douglas Raith, EdinburghPublic transport should be a service, not a cash cow.
Paul Rhodes, DewsburyBritish Rail was better.
Phil Gallon, SaltburnPrivatisation does not equal improved service or cheaper tariffs. Re-nationalise and give Britain a rail network to be proud of.
Ken Phillips, ChorleyEnd the madness of rail privatisation now.
Callum Godwin, ManchesterIt’s obvious. I don’t need to explain.
Albert E C Hemmings, SalisburyStop privatising everything. There is more to life than trying to make profits as the only priority. What about providing decent public services?.
Anne Kernohan, GatesheadBring it back. The people’s railway.
Nicholas Allen, YorkThe railways should be owned by the British Government, not the French and German Governments, nor the private sector, for the benefit of shareholders, not passengers.
Paul Boulton, LowestoftI just think it’s time to show the Tories we have a voice and will be heard.
Sean Hill, GatesheadWhat are the benefits of privatisation? Profits for foreign companies, confusion on focus within the industry, lack of re-investment, and the trains belonging to the bank.
Simon Morris, Potters BarAs a commuter I’m sick and tired of being robbed blind every January. Plough the profits back into the service, not shareholders’ pockets.
Ann Hill, MansfieldCarry on fighting. Together we can do it.
Charlie Claydon, LondonThe trains are overpriced and unreliable.
Susan Steward, NorwichI’ll vote for the political party that promises to do this.
James Forber, WarringtonEnd this madness! Make train prices fair.
Shaun Maunder, EpsomA sensible understanding of what public services should be.
Rosemary Marriott, SheffieldI believe railways should be run as a public service, with affordable ticket prices, and not for private profit.
Charles Docherty, Dumbarton.Under-investment, expensive fares and the farce of one company owning the track and others providing the trains. Capitalism for its own sake. Even the USA doesn’t.
Alex Veysey, MeophamSoutheastern are a disgrace.
Mark Hosey, GosportI’m in 100% support of the nationalising of the railways.
Daniel Holt, ClimpingLet the people make the decisions!
Tereena Costard, SloughI’ve been using East Coast trains for the last year and a half. I would hate to see this change.
Andy Ruffell, AshfordIf I want to travel to London (36 minutes away) It costs me £36. £1 per minute, that’s crazy.
Christina Pinder, Newcastle-upon-TyneRailways should be a public service not a profiteering business for the benefit of shareholders.
Robert Brister, ChipperfieldStop privatisation. It’s killing the country and filling the pockets of rich people.
Penny Dellow, EastbourneRailways have been ruined by privatisation. Money is not being put back into the system and they are old and past it, they should be all run as one, not many.
Steve Higgins, LeedsI support Caroline Lucas’s proposal to take each rail component back into public ownership as franchises finish. East Coast shows how much better it would be.
