Atkins Andy, LeedsIt’s time the Labour Party made it a manifesto pledge.
Stephen Clibbens, HarrogatePublic transport should benefit the public, not a few shareholders.
Janis Bradshaw, WolverhamptonA national rail system run efficiently for the convenience of the people, not for the profit and benefit of the few.
Gary Donaldson, Southend-on-SeaOnce the greatest rail network in the world, twice destroyed by the Tories and now run for private profit paid for by your taxes.
Kate Steaggles, SouthamptonI’m sick of standing only trains at peak time after the companies fail to put the right number of coaches on with no explanation.
Frank Evans, ChesterfieldAll public transport should be counted as a utility and all utilities should be re-nationalised.
Trevor Millington, LeedsI totally agree with the cause. Some services should not be for profit. In my experience private does not always equate to efficiency.
Frank Nicholas AdamJoined up thinking is required to properly manage the structure of the privatised railway.
Lewis East, SwindonBritish Rail was simply awesome, there were no other words to say about it beside that.
Huong Doan, LondonPrices are too high. Many cannot afford these prices.
Wojciech Simpson, YorkThe government want us to use public transport rather than cars. How is this persuading them to change?
Kerford Jones, HitchinThe sooner the better.
Ben Twist, EdinburghIt’s obvious – just do it.
Kaissa TaitIt is cheaper to rent a car for a week than buy tickets from Birmingham to Brighton. We should be encouraging people to use green transport not pricing them out.
Muhammad Rajput, BirminghamYes, yes, yes! I favour bringing back British Rail.
Samuel Stevenson, NottinghamDo it for the kids.
Glenys Law, LondonThe best way of getting this to happen is to support Jeremy Corbyn and vote Labour in the next election. This is one of his manifesto pledges.
Geoff Whiteley, BarnsleyThe railways should return to being a public and social service.
Carl Conway, RedcarRe-nationalise the railways.
Dave Bray, MaidstoneIt seems absurd that that which belonged to us was taken away, without thought or consideration! Now very few of us can access regular rail travel because we can’t afford it.
Paul BrightWe must rebuild our country’s economy and to do this we need a fully integrated and affordable public transport system centred on the British railways.
Chris Henwood, BrightonThe sooner the better.
Darren Whittle, WiganBring back British Rail. Stop public money going into foreign rail operators’ pockets to subsidise their own trains.
Jane Little, LiverpoolPlease, please can we have our` railway back. It makes sense financially and in terms of organisation and customer service.
Amanda Barr, MalpasI wholeheartedly believe this is one of the best things to do for this country, removing barriers to travel, increase ability to earn and pay more taxes.
Frances McGinlay, LargsJust bring it back.
Alan Stewart, MotherwellLook at East Coast Trains for inspiration.
Jennifer David, Southend-on-SeaWe’ve just had enough – 10 years too much.
Leonora Rozee, StroudAn efficient and effective public transport system for the benefit of the public and the nation as a whole. Is that too much to ask?
Brian Reid, St. NeotsThe disconnect between infrastructure and operations and financial inefficiencies across the unnatural boundaries is plain daft.
