Lloyd Cartey, Milton KeynesRe-nationalise the rail services. We are paying too much in subsidies to rail companies.
Andrew & Barbara Fellows, WakefieldAn absolute necessity for a nation that needs to put its people first.
Tom Daly, EdinburghBring back our rail service. It was a service, not a business.
Andrew VarleySince privatisation prices have rocketed and services plummeted in the North – overcrowding, old stock, not enough trains. Promises, promises and nothing ever done.
John Liversage, LlangollenI’ve never known an organisation waste so much money.
Matthew Plews, DealWe need to re-nationalise and take control of our railways.
Dara Foody, HarrowAs a socialist I believe in production for use not for profit. Economic and social benefits of re-nationalisation in many areas, not just the railways, are very appealing.
James Hetherington, LondonHaving to take a 4 hour coach from London to visit my parents 120 miles away because the train is so expensive! In fact, the train can often be five times pricier.
Robert Irvine, GlasgowIt’s sickening that profit to a small number of shareholders is what drives this essential service. Terrible.
Sarah Richards, Newcastle-upon-TyneA railway system should be a public and publicly-owned service, not a profit-driven company.
James Nolan, LiverpoolA fair and cost-effective rail service. That’s all I want.
Patrick Oakes, BaildonPrivatisation of the railways has proved to be a failure. Re-nationalise now.
Liam McMillan, BrightonA continued increase in price without a reciprocal increase in service and standards. This needs to change.
Catherine Maudsley, NorthallertonI wish to join with the other people to re-nationalise the railways.
Simon Castle, LondonNow.
Nick Chamberlin, StockportThe privatised railways in Britain are a joke. They are unaffordable, dirty, poor quality. Take them back into public ownership
John Marskman, ManchesterBring back British Rail. Privatisation isn’t working.
Mary Ion, BromleyWe pay extortionate prices to stand like cattle. It makes no sense for a railway to be run for private profit.
Ross Dobson, LondonTime to get Britain’s trains back on track.
Paul Lock, StroudPrivatisation has been an unmitigated disaster.
David Dennis, King’s LynnBring rail back to public ownership.
Brian Wilkinson, Newcastle-upon-TyneI want an end to privatised rail and return to British Rail.
Max Hutchinson, ManchesterNorthern Rail are a disgrace.
Z Sullivan, LondonLet’s leave the EU, then we won’t have to comply with their privatisation directives!
Maureen Wakefield, IpswichBritish Rail should never have been privatised.
Catherine Parfitt-EvansI’m completely disgusted with all aspects of the rail service in the UK since its privatisation. Extortionate fares, constantly late trains, penalisation of customers.
Ian Mayman, Leamington SpaI usually avoid trains now. It’s just not worth it. I take the coach instead.
Carina Smyth, GravesendIt’s currently diabolical.
Shaun Maunder, EpsomA sensible understanding of what public services should be.
Douglas Webber, GodstoneBring back British Rail. Railways work well abroad. Anyway, all public services should be back in public hands.
