I regularly travel by train but am finding increasingly it is cheaper to drive.

Helen Pengelly, Barnham

British Rail always provided a good service. If you got a job with them it was for life.

Ann Welton, Orpington

If this government is so serious about going green then the railways should be sorted out!

Thomas Sutton, Derbyshire

It’s outrageous the price I have to pay a month just to get to work. Every year it gets more and more expensive and the service gets worse.

Malcolm Smith, London

Consistent fare rises above CPI, without improvements to justify them, while farepayers’ wages remain stagnant. This has to end now.

Jack Harding, London

The fragmented nature of the privatised rail network benefits neither passengers nor the taxpayer – only rail shareholders.

Philip Mullen, Leeds

Wonderful campaign.

Conor Owens, Enniskillen

Bring back all the profit the shareholders are getting. It can go back into investing or reducing fares as they go up a bomb every year.

Paul Bradley, Rhyl

Privatisation of the rail industry has led to increased political/civil service control, increased cost, and a marginalisation of the customer. The 1997 model has failed.

Gareth Hadley, Surbiton

I think re-nationalisation is the only sensible way to deliver a better rail network that works in the interests of the travelling public.

Peter Fahey, London

The sooner the better.

Kerford Jones, Hitchin

Absolute joke Virgin – the trains are outdated and falling to bits.

Steven Hinchliffe, Huddersfield

Support MPs who campaign to take back the Great Western franchise. Support RMT and protect rail jobs such as track maintenance, booking offices and guards.

Julie Boston, Bristol

Yes we need cheap trains.

Rob Willis, Shrewsbury

We should be supporting our rail network not other ones in Europe.

Kevin Spice, Maidstone

I might have to find a new job if the trains don’t improve.

Katy Makepeace-Gray, London

Tax payers paid for British Rail and they have a say in what to do with BR, not money grabbing MPs.

Brian Stephens, Sunderland

Owned by the public, run for the public, for the benefit of the public.

John Pritchard, Berwick-upon-Tweed

The myth that public ownership doesn’t work is busted. Private enterprise has let this country’s transport system down in a spectacular way.

Bob Swann, Liverpool

Bring back nationalisation of the railways. The evident failure and cost to the nation has been a false economy. It should just be taken back by the country.

Helen Robertson, Lancing

The system is too confusing at the moment.

Jean Squires, Congleton

Commendable objective.

Anthony Oliver, Leeds

Trains are public transport. It is obscene for a private company to run them for profit.

Mark Dawson, Carshalton

May the force be with you.

Kathleen Satterthwaite, York

Privatisation is a nightmare. It’s time to re-start some public services. Don’t let this happen to the NHS.

Kevin Flanagan, Cambridge

I wholeheartedly believe this is one of the best things to do for this country, removing barriers to travel, increase ability to earn and pay more taxes.

Amanda Barr, Malpas

I’m sick of overpriced train fares. I think it’s disgusting that it is cheaper for people to go abroad than travelling round your own country.

Erin Pepper, Liverpool

It is high time the government started to provide efficient and effective railway transport in the UK.

Brian Hamill, Ballymena

Let’s have the profit for the nation – it should cut the deficit a bit.

Alister McNeish, Reading
