Peter Cockings, KetteringThe railway system is the life-blood of the country and, like all public services, should be nationalised.
Lorraine Byrne, EpsomRailways should be returned to state ownership.
Colin Glenister, WellingboroughMake sure railway people run it.
Gareth Ayres, Newcastle-upon-TyneIn view of the poor service and higher prices charged, why would we want to continue with private franchising? It is our railway, paid for and run for us.
Faith Matheson, EssexGreater Anglia are a joke.
Kelvin Hanratty, SalfordPlease bring it back to the people for the people, rather than for private profit. It’s not worked and never will work. We demand redress and an affordable price structure.
John Keith, ApplebyWe’re being subject to legalised robbery. HS2 will bring more of the same. Fat profits and a service priced for the rich or on expenses.
Sandra Day, RiponThey should have stayed as they were.
Barry Ould, AylesburyI’m disgusted at today’s news about Virgin and Stagecoach, getting the East Coast franchise.
Stephen Freeman, SheffieldWe need a railway fit for the future. Privatisation is the only way.
Stephen Beasley, LondonI support this campaign wholeheartedly.
Sam Satyanadhan, SouthamptonHaving a publicly-owned transport network (railways and coaches) is essential to the welfare of a nation. The needs of the public should be the priority.
Nick Athorne, ColchesterGetting it back on track.
Lee Roberts, DartmouthGive us back our overpriced rail network.
Steve Wood, SandwichTransport for the people.
Carol Hills, StocktonPrivatisation is almost always a rip-off for consumers.
Diana Copnall, BarnetThe current system on most lines is diabolical. The sooner the better that it is re-nationalised.
Sean Walker, Glasgow20 years of failure and prices are the most expensive in Europe, to line the pockets of greedy fat cats. No more. Let’s run this for the people by the people to benefit all.
Colin Keatley, PlymouthBring back British Rail.
Kate Gunn, Tyne and WearStop wasting the taxpayers’ cash and bring back British Rail. If you don’t then the taxpayer should receive the money back that the government has wasted.
Tom Yates, WiganHow can companies dependent upon subsidies turn over such large profits? Pre-grouping railways didn
Tula Maxted, SwanleySell off a public service, pay the owners to keep it running, let them have bonuses from the till while not carrying out maintenance work for years, Oh, and up the fares.
Michael Monaghan, HarrogateThe privatised system has failed and will go on failing.
Oliver Hickmet, LondonEnough is Enough. Stop robbing people and making their lives a misery. All everyone wants is to be able to get to their job at an affordable cost.
Steve Cobb, AshfordTime for a change. Commuters have increasingly been mugged off by the rail companies and Network Rail for too long.
Frank Bradley,Rail privatisation has been a disaster.
Chris Frost, LondonBring back the rail industry into public ownership.
Hugh Tonks, CambridgeBBBR. Except this time make it accountable to a committee of the travelling public, railway experts, successful business people, and no politicians. Thank you.
Graham Sessions, CullomptonMore local stations and lines in West Country and East Anglia run by a nationally-owned business as a service and not for profit.
Hatim Abou, MoroccoThanks for sending me stickers. Good luck.
