Re-nationalise now.

Edward Pentney, Taunton

Trains fares are such a rip-off. Every year they increase to ludicrous levels. Punctuality of trains has been so bad year on year too.

Jonathan Sargent, St Leonards-on-Sea

Yes, bring back BR – much better days.

Henry Winterbourne, High Wycombe

We must not let Network Rail – our transport infrastructure – go out of public ownership.

Hazel Thompson, High Peak

The private sector is responsible for some of the biggest economic health and safety disasters, whilst extorting the British public.

Richard Bell, Derby

Tickets are priced far too high and the service is atrocious. Bring back the service for the people.

Amanda Sym, London

Just bring it back.

Paul Dickerson, Scunthorpe

Re-nationalise. The current service is by no means reflected by the price we pay.

Ian Stainthorp, Leyland

A unified public sector rail network, properly subsidised, should be a much more organised, and profitable venture.

Michele Walker, Woodstock

National assets should not be sold off. We are laughed at by other countries.

Jerry Scales, Aylesbury

British Rail should be given back to the people and run as a public service and not for greedy fat cat bosses and shareholders.

Peter Guy, Tyldesley

Arriva trains are heavily subsidised and too expensve to use. Nationalise now.

John Atkin, Harlech

And then we can re-nationalise energy and water.

Carmen Edwards, Wrexham

We need a nationalised railway. Privatisation leads to high fares and share holder pay-outs.

Derek Robertson, Arbroath

The fares are ridiculous and unfair. Rail travel is far more environmentally friendly than car driving and should be affordable for all.

Arwen Nicholson, Cambridge

I have had to grow up with the shambles of a railway system that remains today. It’s time to re-nationalise, to make fares cheaper and give Britain a railway to be proud of.

James Westfield, Wokingham

It’s disgusting what the rail system has become. It’s got to a stage where public transport is squeezing the public, for whom the prices are ridiculous for such poor service

Simon Cullen, Sudbury

Bring back clause 4 and scrap new labour.

John Hogg, Co. Durham

I worked for Railtrack and Network Rail. Privatisation does not work. Profit before service is wrong.

David Free, Saltash

National Rail is stupidly expensive and very poor compared to its European counterparts. Monopolised services should not be privatised.

Daniel Bottiglieri, London

Passing national services to private money is a disgrace. When profit is paramount the service suffers.

Michael Osborne, Nottingham

Infrastructure services should be for the national good, not shareholders’.

Graham Lester George, Nottingham

Stop the fares rip-off getting stupid.

Jordan Smith, Bristol

It makes sense unlike a certain political party.

David Clarke, Nottingham

Transport for the people.

Steve Wood, Sandwich

Privatisation has been a disaster for the taxpayer and rail passengers. It’s a costly and inefficient mistake that needs rectifying.

Marc Sutton, Derby

Privatisations were always implemented so that friends of the Party were able to become fat cats.

Mark Jordan, Port Talbot

First East Coast trains and now Eurostar. What asset will be next?

William Dickson, Grangemouth
