Re-nationalise rail travel now and end the gravy train for the fat cats. Public transport for the public good.

Railways are a natural monopoly. If we are to combat climate change we need to get cars off the road. A public service would be more efficient and cheaper.

Keith Cain, Llangedwyn

All the European countries with fast, modern, efficient railways (France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland etc.) have unified systems. It’s not rocket science.

Peter Bowyer, Carlisle

The line I use was run by Network South East in the early 90s, which was a brilliant service, then rubbish Connex took over and now South Eastern Trains.

Steven Evans

I hate how the UK’s train network is falling to bits.

Nik Devlin, London

The East Coast line shows how it should be done.

David Graham, West Yorkshire

Only re-nationalisation will bring back all the rail services under one umbrella, providing a fair service to all.

Anthony Torok, Leicester

BR should never have been privatised. Being from a long line of railway employees, it’s a disgrace what we have lost and never recover. It breaks my heart.

Paul Kettle, Rochdale

Radical change is required.

Martin Whittle, Dawlish

Rolling stock investment needed.

Stephen Sanderson, Rochdale

Let’s end the profiteering.

Jack Wright, Glasgow

Affordable, local rail services for everyone!

Nicholas Lyle, Woking / Portsmouth

Please re-nationalise our railway lines.

Dave Devaney, Liverpool

Great idea. Bring back BR.

Daniel Wellbeloved, London

Transport should be owned by the people and for the people, not by the politicians’ banker mates.

Richard Harris, Crowborough

If we’re paying for it, it should be ours.

Alan Batcheldor, Frome

Eastern Rail’s success is surely enough evidence for re-nationalisation.

David L Atkinson, Mirfield

Why stop at the East Coast? Privatisation has only brought greed and poor service. Let’s go the whole hog and bring all the railways back to public ownership.

David Dakin, Sheffield

Brava Bravo.

Rose Frain, Edinburgh

Bring back British Rail.

Angharad Green, Swansea

It makes sense unlike a certain political party.

David Clarke, Nottingham

Why are we never consulted on major changes? I detest privatisation and will fight it as much as I am able.

Roger Andrew, New Milton

We are a not very big island in the Atlantic ocean The railways, like electricity and gas should be run by the nation for the nation. We don’t need corporate investors.

Sue Radford, York

Bring back British Rail.

Ed Mander, Bridgwater

Daily I am disgusted with the train services, either their poorly planned timetables or extremely overpriced tickets. I struggle to see what I am paying for.

Kira Allmark, Reading

They should never have been privatised like every once publicly-owned business.

John Hatch, Exeter

Railways should be owned by the people of this country, not some other one.

Mick Ford, Maltby

I’m badly in need of a railway from Leicester to Burton. This can help us. Keep up the good work.

Kevin Jordan, Coalville

Makes no sense to separate trains from rail operators. Especially on a small island like the UK.

Steve Green, Hastings
