I am done with overpriced and unreliable trains on my morning commute costing me time, money and stress.

Rosie Gee, Worthing

The privatisation has resulted in more public money being spent. Why is it OK for other countries nationalised rail companies to run British Railways and not our own government?

Catherine Lane, Eye

Public service should not be in private hands.

Dick Norton, Cupar

Fares too high and no part time season tickets. It’s all about making a profit now.

Claire Henderson

The rail system used and abused for profit by private companies with profit to their pals the only goal.

Jake Church, Montrose

This system has to end. Nationalise the rail network. Save us money, and invest more. You can do both

Timothy Shroll, Alton

Transport for the nation, not for private profit.

Garry Blackmore, Bradford

The Covid-19 crisis forced some degree of governmental control but still leaves the broken franchising system intact. Full re-nationalisation is long overdue.

David Little, Swavesey, Cambridge

A national rail transport network should be owned by the people and not run for private profit.

Peter Crane, Northampton

People not profit.

Sue McCormick, Lancaster

We are all calling for the return of a state-owned rail network.

David Mcintosh

One unified structure will save tens of millions of pounds in layers of management we are putting up with at the moment.

Kevin Wells, Harlow

It should never have left public ownership.

Graham Mallinson, Manchester

Stop wasting money on a poor service. Bring back BR now.

Alan Summerhayes, Bristol

I would like to see the rail system under public ownership, with a promise of constant investment, and not left to run down.

Philip Wallace, Swindon

Private enterprise has been a disaster for the railways.

Chris Lemin, London

British Rail was privatised when it was making a profit.

Lawrence Wright, London

Why are our train operating companies now owned by bus companies and French and German state railways – not our Government?

Kirk Martin, London

Transport is a fundamental service which should never have been privatised, for travellers to be exploited for huge profits to the few.

Kathleen Downes, Aylesbury

Obscurantist pricing, overcrowding, frequent late-running and cancellations are unacceptable. Private rail is a farce, a confidence trick and shameful.

Jeremy Abram, Taunton

We need more cohesion, lower prices and an upgraded service.

Tom Duffy, Coventry

A fragmented network does not work.

Jonathan Stratton, Haltwhistle

CrossCountry is a shocking service.

Neil Hinkinson, Birmingham

I am a firm believer in Bring back British Rail – one railway, one train operator, one company.

Simon Pawelko, Llanelli

Service for the people not subsidies for the already wealthy.

John Rawlinson, Staffs

Railways not for private profit.

Stephen Cullen, Prescot

The fragmented and over-priced railways system which treats all commuters as cattle should be brought under Government control so that we can hold our MPs to account.

Barry Gooch, Wantage

All part of the Tory attempt to put all public services in private hands. Re-nationalise all public utilities as soon as possible.

Karen Nadin, Newark

I fully support any movement with the intention of bringing transport or utilities back under public ownership.

Jon Rudge, Ormskirk
