Raymond Lockwood, WakefieldRe-nationalise all TOCs.
Michael Taylor, YorkThe East Coast line appears to have been running remarkably well as it is.
Rebecca Brown, BansteadIt’s ludicrous that Britain doesn’t have a fully-integrated rail system and that so-called public transport is, in fact, private.
Rebecca Devitt, SouthamptonRe-nationalise the railways and stop creaming off a profit for people wealthy enough not to need it.
John McGeehan, LondonI’m sick of paying fares to so-called private operators who are actually foreign state-owned companies.
Shane Pym, BroadwindsorWe should all support this campaign for affordable, not for profit transport for the masses.
Ben Gladwish, WalsallEast Coast has worked. Give the rest of us a chance.
Peter Challis, OxfordWe need a unified, affordable and expanded railway network run in the interests of the public not to increase the profits of Stagecoach and their ilk.
Alan Ritchey, WashingtonThe original privatisation was done in indecent haste and was always destined to waste money in a big way. A properly managed and structured British Rail will be better.
Nick East, StroudEvery ticket is overpriced so no wonder rail travel is decreasing.
Terry Wood, NorwichFar better under BR days.
Antony Woolley, NottinghamPublic transport is a basic right that should never be run for the profit of private companies.
Margaret Alderton, Stockton-on-TeesI am fed up with everything once British being sold off to any other country. We shortly will have no control.
Carol Wright, LeedsThe East Coast mainline fiasco proves that privatisation is a waste of money, and that a publicly owned service is better for all.
Sean Kelly, LoughboroughThe current situation is out of control. Let’s use the rail service as a tool for building a future for Britain.
Neville Hymus, LiverpoolWe need more control of the costings and fares.
Linda Brachio, CroydonThe current privatised rail system is ridiculous. There is no competition on the privatised lines. It is just a licence to make money at the customers’ expense.
Jeremy Thomas, Southend-on-SeaI have lived in Southend we have two rail companies, C2C and Anglia. The price from Southend Central to Fenchurch Street during the week is disgusting.
Paddy Costall, LondonShameful actions by respective governments have badly served the population as a whole. Labour need to get back to principles and act, before it’s too late. Some chance.
Michael Ellis, HonitonPublic transport is for the public good not for private profit.
Douglas Coutts, NottinghamBritish Rail, British Coal, British Steel. Britain works only for the nation when its jewels belong to the nation, not to private shareholders.
Alan Summerhayes, BristolStop wasting money on a poor service. Bring back BR now.
Kamal Ismail, LeicesterI’m fed up with private rail
Richard Painter, Waltham CrossLet those currently running the Great Northern line run the rest of the railways. They are doing a better job than the rest already.
Tony Brauer, JordansJust look at the East Coast line, and also note that, when foreign companies take over our public services, they’re usually state-owned companies.
David Henderson, BirminghamPrivate companies receive more in subsidies than BR ever did, but is the service any better? No.
Maureen Smith, Sutton ColdfieldI preferred British Rail. It would be more cohesive, good for people, lower fares.
Ian David Wildbore, ChesterfieldSave billions. Scrap HS2. Electrify East Midlands route to Sheffield now.
Mick Rix, NorthumberlandHow can they take away what is rightfully ours in the first place? It’s the same with everything else that has been sold off.
Becky Chamberlain, PeterheadAt nearly 60 I well remember British Railways, that most small towns and villages had a rail link and most people used the train to travel.
