William Russell, LondonI never thought I would utter these words but, having travelled by Virgin and South West Trains, Bring BR back.
Tony Ash, LondonBring back British Rail.
Vishal Verma, CrawleyThe rail prices are ridiculous and over complicated. The definition of peak hours does not make sense at all. A complete system overhaul needed.
Robert Hart, Newcastle-upon-TyneIt will be fairer and safer and profit will go back into improving rail services and not to shareholders.
KC Mull, BanburyChiltern amended a perfectly good timetable with disastrous results.
Mark Kapalo, TelfordUK railways are in a shocking state.
Harry Curtis, NottinghamI certainly think that the railways should be taken back into public ownership.
Kenneth Holliday, Stockton-on-TeesCrosscountry run a very busy city service with not enough stock. Trains are overcrowded with catering at a minimum. We have to do better than this.

Mary T Johnston, EdinburghBring it back. It works for the people.
Sheila Henderson-Squara, Whitley BayDisgusting way of selling tickets. Must be illegal, surely.
Benjamin Jude, SouthamptonGiven the fact that there is practically no room for competition on the tracks, a few companies hold a monopoly and are profiteering because of that.
Darren Gallacher, Clacton-on-SeaWhen will governments learn that they are representative. We pay tax for national services and it’s not theirs to sell – its ours.
William Smith, ManchesterI stand with Labour against rip-off Northern Rail.
Julian Balmford, AylesburyMaybe if we achieve this then we can start with the Water Companies?
Alex Baxter, HarwichImprove the connections of the trains and make them run on time.
Steven Hughes, LeedsNational websites are poor with people going to the Trainline and paying booking fees happily when the website shouldn’t exist in the first place.
Adam Bloy, LondonService not profit!
T Matthews, ExeterNationalisation now. The people to own the railways.
Keith Dibb, LeedsEast Coast is being run successfully, and I enjoy travelling with them and making a profit.
Cathrine Simmons, Great TorringtonThe railway system is a mess. It is hard to book tickets at sensible prices, our local trains are full, in bad condition and uncomfortable while rural areas are neglected.
Peter Newson, BroxbourneStop wasting money subsidising shareholders and give it to the people.
Ian Clark, NorthamptonFormer apprentice with BRML.
James Siddle, WakefieldTransport, health and utilities should never be in the hands of the private sector.
Geoffrey Crouch, CranbrookTrack, facilities, rolling stock and staff should be managed regionally, with overall direction from the centre.
Corinne Deakin, BarnsleyThe price of public transport seems to go up all the time. The trains are a mess and are often late. What are we paying for?
Rob Hague, DerbyRun the railways as a service like the roads, not a cash cow like banking.
David McintoshIt will cost us far more in the long term to continue to allow greedy private companies to run the network that we use everyday.
Gillian Harris, LancingRailways for progress not private profit. One government-owned company for cheap fares and efficiency.
Fiona Rowe, ManchesterBring back affordable transport and friendly staff. Bring back British Rail.
