Rowan Brock, ChesterJust because London is where the money is, it isn’t where all the people are. We deserve better, not for the profits, but because we deserve and need it.
Stephen Howlett, SheffieldGet this country back on the rails.
Tom Faulkner, EastbourneNothing but delays and strikes on Southern. But fares still keep rising. Privatisation is not helping passengers.
Timothy Wilson, DundeeEast Coast is better now than it has been for years.
Guy Birkin, NottinghamWe can make this work.
Carolyn Brightwater, BridportThe train system is a mess. too many petty rules, different operators, price bands. It needs to be an affordable, walk-on service with peak and off-peak services, more like buses.
Paul Beard, Bovey TraceyIt’s about time there was a unified railway for the people once more.
John Butler, New MaldenPrivate good – Public bad. It’s Orwellian.
Luke Stratton, AlresfordTime to get this outrageous Tory notion wiped off of our British image.
Joe Stamper, Burton on TrentNationalisation to offer flexibility and protect rail travel at an affordable price for all.
Peter Brookings, Milton KeynesRailways should be run as a public service, not for shareholder profit. Get freight off the roads and back on the railway.
Kirk Martin, LondonWhy are our train operating companies now owned by bus companies and French and German state railways – not our Government?
Rosie Gee, WorthingI am done with overpriced and unreliable trains on my morning commute costing me time, money and stress.
Stan Smith, NottinghamIt should never have been privatised. Public utilities should be just that: of use to the public, not to hedge funds.
Helen Glazier, SheffieldPublic transport is a public service. It should not be for profit-making businesses who get subsidised by taxpayers.
Andrew Drasar, StainesRe-nationalise the railways ASAP. They should never have been privatised.
Maryvonne Lumley, LondonPrivatisation only works for shareholders, not passengers. Bring back BR.
Marie Bowers, DundeeEast Coast trains have greatly improved since they were taken back from the National Express.
Peter Savage, DoncasterIt’s about time that someone looked at how railway engineering is structured and just how efficient and cost effective it is. The amount of money wasted is a public scandal.
Kevin Morris, BradfordTotally necessary.
Michael Read, NottinghamWe are being ripped off.
Henry Winterbourne, High WycombeYes, bring back BR – much better days.
Vanessa Martin, BrightonBring back national railways to be proud of. Get us to work on time with a seat. And a clean safe journey for a reasonable price.
Robert Myrie, LondonIncrease rolling stock and reduce fares for everyone. Link into the EU rail network, to give more choice to all.
Eileen Jaques, YorkAlthough not frequent, I am a regular train user, mainly between York and London and occasionally other destinations.
Valerie Grant, GatesheadThe railways are better run under British Rail.
Penny Thornton, StorringtonBring back a national rail service for the people and not for private profit.
Matthew Burgess, NorwichWhy allow companies to make profit from a national service? They should have always been left in the public domain.
Richard Wells, St AustellThey should never have been sold in the first place.
Emma Cordiner, OlneyGive us our trains back.
