No privatisation.

Clare Holdstock, London

Because the fragmentation of the rail network to feed the profits of the private sector is madness.

John Carter, Kings Sutton

Please don’t privatise the whole of Britain. We have little left. Leave trains alone.

Patrick Healy, Billingham

Privatisation doesn’t work for the public, only for the shareholders. Let’s get it back working for the public.

Kenneth Muschamp, Retford

We pay out millions in subsidies, so that shareholders get a dividend every year.

Timothy Sercombe, Exeter

Stop these private companies ripping us all off with their price rises year in year out. Bring back BR.

Michael Pruce, London

Why sell something that’s making a profit for the country?

William Craven, Staines

Privatisation has not worked for taxpayers, passengers or rail staff. Put it right.

Shelley Black, Bradford

Bring back BR.

Sean Brown, Barnsley

Trains for the people not for profit.

Nikki Wood, Todmorden

We privatise to make money for the private sector. Why? We are not the private sector, we are Britain and we should run our services for us, not for private companies.

Matthew Mountain, London

An integrated, modernised railway system should be for the benefit of all the nation, not just shareholders and rich executives.

Keith Lewis, Cardiff

I could not agree more.

Christine Gibson, Leeds

As part of the national infrastructure of this country we need dedicated professionals running our railways. It would be in the best interest of this country and its population.

Geoffrey Hartin, Southampton

I fully agree with bring back British Rail. It was the worst thing the government has ever done, like the rest of public utilities.

Male Byrne, Southampton

Train travel has become a ridiculously expensive, uncomfortable and unpleasant experience. It wasn’t always so. I support the return of British Rail.

John Leyland, Wigan

I travel from Chatham Station to London St Pancras International at an ever increasing fare and nothing extra for it. I cannot see where the money is going other than dividends.

Daniel Crouch, Rochester

Wonderful campaign. I love my badge!

Elisabeth Winkler

All part of the Tory attempt to put all public services in private hands. Re-nationalise all public utilities as soon as possible.

Karen Nadin, Newark

Train fares have become ridiculously too expensive while at the same time taking finances out of the British infrastructure and investing into networks such as DB.

James Riley, Morley

A joined-up railway with simple fare structures makes common sense. Profiteering off the backs of the travelling public doesn’t.

Robin White, Bristol

I’m fed-up with fat cats creaming off profit from what should be a nationalised industry.

Thomas Brewis, Berwick-upon-Tweed

Why should private rail companies get so much subsidisation to increase their profits when any profits could and should be returned to the customers.

Joseph Mason, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

The vast profits that the rail companies are making should be in public hands to make the railways more efficient and cheaper

Alan Derby, Andover

Stop the scandal of private train companies running a monopoly service.

Alex West, Bournemouth

Public transport should not be run for private profit.

Nicky Hamilton-Smith, Edinburgh

It’s just common sense to have a subsidised rail service. Travelling to work and seeing friends should not have to make a profit for shareholders.

Rosemary Catling, Cambridge

People before profit.

Ben Eckersley, Sheffield

Rail fares keep going up and up when services do not get better. This has to stop.

Richard O’Sullivan, London

We need a rail system that looks after the public, not share holders as at present.

Allan Precious, Billingham
