Enough is Enough. Bring back British Rail.

Andrew Bell, Delamere

How about being able to travel across the country for less than it costs to fly to another country entirely?

Josh Cluderay, London

Rail transport is a natural monopoly too important to be left to competing short-term franchises.

Sonia Heaven, Southampton

As someone who’s travelled on the East Anglia services for a long time, every franchise we’ve ever had has failed. Time to re-nationalise.

Rosie Hucklesby, Colchester

This is self explanatory.

Stephen Baxter, Glasgow

Bring back British Rail.

John Pruvedenti, Somerset

Privatisation was a terrible failure for commuters and a great win for greedy investors.

Steve Andrews, Lincoln

Profit for public services, not shareholders.

Chris Gramger, Kendal

With a reintegrated railway system, the bureaucracy could be cut benefiting the normal people in society.

Frank Nicholas Adam

Bring back transport for the people. Get rid of transport for private profit.

Merlin Norbury, Leicester

You know it makes sense.

Matt Malone, Flitwick

Get more commercial transport back on the rails and off our roads.

David Fox, Chesterfield

The people who control such integral infrastructure in the country must answer directly to the people.

Christian Cox, Chichester

A comprehensive national rail system is essential. Nationalise it in order to have a comprehensive system with profits kept for re-investment.

Susan Gentleman, Enfield

All this cheap tickets marketing spin is an illusion.

Rob Fleay, Derbyshire

Travel by train used to be my favourite way to travel. I can’t afford the luxury any more. It’s actually cheaper to fly. Bring back our trains for public transport again.

Norma Tyler, Whitley Bay

In an ideal world we would have an integrated transport system. Simple, straightforward and easy to reach your destination.

Brian Racher

Things are better run in public ownership, transparently and with no profiteering from private companies. Why did we get rid of British Rail?

Andre Bernal, London

Rail is a natural monopoly so public ownership is the appropriate system.

David Fletcher, Nuneaton

Bring back British Rail.

Kevin Glaister, Stroud

Privatisation only benefits the rich.

Doug Moffatt, Durham

Stop the fares rip-off. Bring back under government control.

Robert Boyd, Glasgow

Hoping for a fairly priced and state-owned railway system.

Elaine Tavner, Holford

No more messing about with different fares and different companies.

Alan Pope, Peterborough

It’s time to put people before profit. I have bought so many tickets then stood in the doorway of the carriage for the length of journey.

Anita Hambly, Corby

The railways, like so many other things, should be run for the benefit of all the citizens of this country and not to make already rich people even richer.

Graham Symms, Broughton

The railways belonged to us before they were sold off. Re-nationalise British Rail and use any profits to re-invest in the infrastructure, not line the pockets of the rich.

Jonathan Gulliford, Merthyr Tydfil

Privatisation was supposed to deliver competition, leading to better service and prices. The only route getting close to this is East Coast that is in pubic ownership.

Irene Asquith, Wakefield

Rail privatisation is legalised larceny. Train operators invest little cash but take massive profits. This wasn’t what the Tories promised.

Jon Humphreys

A publicly-owned railway will need to allow much more regional control and influence.

Steve Manchee, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
