Get the rail network back on track.

James Ross, Addingham

Dealing with all the different rail companies is hopelessly confusing.

David Henderson, York

The privatised system is expensive and pointless.

Steve Rogers, Totnes

This proud institution should never have been dismantled in the first place. Like so many other services, they place profit before people…

Sally Freear, Heysham

Now more than ever, we need a publicly-owned, properly integrated railway system that puts passengers and the environment first, rather than private profit.

Tom Watts, St Neots

The price of getting a train is a joke.

Tim Williams, Birmingham

British Rail was far more profitable and efficient and affordable than the current system. Thus we need it back for the future.

Stephen James Lemon, Portsmouth

Time to end this ridiculously wasteful and expensive experiment.

Andy McDougall, Hitchin

The railways should serve the people, not Network Rail directors.

Ray Watson, Westerham

Profiteering from our infrastructure might be good for the profiteers but is not good for consumers or that old-fashioned notion of the ‘national interest’.

Susan O’Brien, Lancaster

It’s the obvious fix. Lower prices, better service and better benefits for employees as well as the customer. It’s a no-brainer.

Reece Hancock, Brighton

I can’t believe the cost of a return to London. I thought the government wanted us to use public transport.

Tina Audus, St Neots

Please re-nationalise and put people before profit.

Alison Daly, Shrewsbury

Rail privatisation is an expensive failure that has cost lives and left us with a system that privatises profit and nationalises risk and cost.

Daniel Nesbitt, Cramlington

Private means profit. Railways should be run for the people not profit.

Connor Nightingale , Huddersfield

Stop the rot and get rid of Abellio Greater Anglia now.

Matt Hearnden, Ipswich

Prices are too high. Many cannot afford these prices.

Huong Doan, London

No other country in Europe employs the crazy system which we currently have in the UK, with public money supporting private companies whose profits go to shareholders.

Chris Jack, Edinburgh

Yes unify the rail services; you know it makes sense.

John Dadacz, Sutton-in-Ashfield

Get rid of the foreign investors, and use the money we give to despots in other countries to run it.

Gordon Seaman, Havant

It is absolutely ludicrous that the national rail is privatised with the fares going up every year faster than wages are increasing. They need to be re-nationalised.

Joseph Callow, Bournemouth

We need a nationalised railway, not to support shareholders.

Sylvia Aldworth, Nottingham

Bring BR back. It should be in the nation’s hands, not fat cats’.

Paul Greenwood, Durham

East Coast is working well – keep it public.

Julia Charlton, Newcastle upon Tyne

They should never have been sold off.

Margaret Powell, London

This should never have been privatized in the first place. It was paid for by taxes – our taxes.

Michael Brown, South Shields

I support a unified, nationalised rail network for the UK, run as a public service, not for private shareholder profit.

Dean Williams, Stevenage

Nationalise public transport.

Alex Harvey, Sheringham

I am for an efficient, punctual publicly-run rail service, rather than the monopolies of private service providers we currently have, charging inflated prices.

Andy Broadey, Manchester
