George Arthur, BarnsleyOne of the South Yorkshire Freedom Riders, we believe transport should be for the use of the public with control by the public not a money-maker for private companies.
Peter Steckles, RochdaleWay overdue.
Ian Cumpstey, PenrithThis is so obvious it hurts.
Malcolm Lanfear, GloucesterBring back British Railways, so we in Gloucester can have a proper train service again, like Cardiff to Newcastle and Swansea to Leeds.
Mick Yates, DoverI’m a big supporter of re-nationalising the railways.
Carolyn Clift, LeedsWhy change a management team that works and makes a profit?
Paul Beattie, CorbyPrivatisation of our railways has been a complete and utter failure.
Alan Bowers, LiverpoolTrains for people not for profit.
Merrilyn Hambleton, WarringtonThe rail system needs to be nationalised again, and this time run properly for the people of Britain.
Vernon Hartley, SouthamptonThe nationalised rail network should never have been privatised. The question of re-nationalisation should be apolitical and this process must happen without delay.
Stuart Armstrong, HaslemereYes, get these corporate scumbags out of our lives.
Josh Kerry, LondonIt’s despicable that the train operating companies collect fat profits from driving the prices up on an essential public service.
Alan Crowther, StockportThe days of Joe Public paying through the nose to sustain the luxurious lifestyles of the greedy capitalist class must come to an end.
Tom McLeod, St AlbansBBBR.
David Berry, WiganRe-nationalise our railways now.
Lynn Cotton, DurhamPlease nationalise the railways. Privatisation has not worked. I want our railways back in public ownership and accountable to the taxpayer.
Nadir Khan, LondonI am absolutely disgusted as these corporations have left the average Joe to suffer ridiculous rates.
Mary Campbell, LetchworthWhy does anyone support profits for individuals rather than the good of all?
Sarah Attree, WorthHaving to pay £600 a month just to get to work is ludicrous. It needs to change.
Tricia Davies, ThatchamWe are paying for it, but not owning it. A transport system should not be about profit, only service. It should be state-run.
Vyvyan Bevan, CaerphillyPrivatisation is a failure. Let’s return to BR with all its faults.
Steve Fishwick, LondonBring it back and let’s run the service for all the people and not for the profits for a few. Think of what good all that money could do for the industry and more.
John Kearns, BoltonKeep going chaps. Railways first, utilities second.
Sue Ahrens, WatfordIt’s clearly sensible.
Margaret McFadyen, NorwichToo right. Fragmentation of the railways to private companies is a total mess. Train travel is more expensive, more stressful and a lot worse than it used to be.
Stephen Hepworth, BuxtonRail travel, for the people, by the people.
Margaret HuntAbout ticket pricing. I had to tell USA tourists why I had a saver return ticket with seat (£12) to London & they paid £92+ each to stand.
Anthony Bacon, Bradleystoke, BristolI was always taught if it wasn’t broke don’t fix it. Think how many people would use the railways if it was state-owned with the prices low.
Megan Forbes, WallaseyIt costs me £641 a year to get to work and the amount of times trains are delayed or cancelled with no bus replacement is ridiculous.
Alesia Harris, WokingI’m a student and the prices of trains are extortionate, especially for cramped and delayed services. I often have to travel to London for fieldwork and it’s food or work.
