Sean Watson, Bishop’s StortfordTrain fares in this country are disgusting and the service we receive is even worse. It’s the most expensive travel in any country I have ever visited. It’s a rip-off.
Caroline WinnTravel by rail is overly expensive, complicated, frustrating. The service is poor – trains are late on a daily basis – trains are dirty with toilets frequently overflowing.
Geoffrey Allen, CramlingtonI wholeheartedly support your campaign to re-nationalise the UK rail network.
DarrenThe National Rail tagline “Britain’s train companies working together” is quite laughable and out of touch with the railway as it is today.
Cyndy Kelly, WetherbyNot only do I want to bring back British Rail, I want everything to be brought back.
George Lynes, AbingdonYou know it makes sense. Why subsidise train operating companies with taxpayers’ money so they can pay dividends to their shareholders?
Dane Wotton, HoveI’m sick of being made late for work, dirty, uncomfortable trains and vastly overpriced fares that take a large and unfair chunk of my wages every month.
Sebastian Gutierrez, Santiago, ChileBring back the glorious days of BR.
Revd David Ward, NottinghamWhy did we ever allow our rail services to go back into private hands when we know all they are interested in is making a profit for share holders.
Paul Holdsworth, SheffieldGood luck.
Bryn Thomas, TruroNormal rail is quite honestly awful. Bringing back British Rail would be great, so yeah, signing this.
Ted Goodhew, MaidenheadI was a teacher for 42 years in the public sector. The Conservatives want to privatise education and the NHS, and I think both would be disastrous, just like the railways.
Colin FlowerdayI will be glad when the British Railways board is running all our railways again and Cameron gets six lace holes up his arse!
Jennifer Carpenter, SheffieldA publicly owned railway would be able to integrate services and be more answerable to passengers. It works in France and Italy.
Victoria Glover-Ward, HertfordLet a company manage the railways not a convoluted claim system for delays.
Antony Johnston, LeedsThe success of East Coast since de-privatisation makes the point better than any rhetoric. Now do it for them all.
T W, GloucestershireThe money paid by the public needs to go straight back into the railway.
Alan George, YorkHow can we stop the new East Coast franchise?
David Cole, LondonTime to undo.
Steven EvansFares keep rising, there are fewer trains and the ones that do turn up have shorter coaches which are not keeping up with the demand of more passengers.
Dylan Evans, Market HarboroughRates by private companies are disgusting. Its cheaper to drive which should not be the case.
Melbourne Chadwick, SheffieldRailways are for the people, not the Tory millionaire shareholders.
Theo Williams, RydeThe state of the current national network is a disgrace. Nationalisation of the railway system would lead to a better regulated system with lower costs for the commuter.
Andrea Bruno, HarpendenCommon sense.
Kaitlin MilfordTicket prices keep rising but services are no better. Where’s the benefit for those of us paying for the service?
Bill Pearson, Houghton-le-SpringIf it’s running well and at a profit why oh why privatise it again?
Christopher Kerr, GlasgowWe need a British state-wide, publicly owned railway and for the sake of old times lets keep it as British Rail.
Imogen Forster, LondonWe need a publicly-owned railway system.
Lisa Pickering, PrestonWe need a decent rail system please.
David Robinson, DewsburyRailways should be run as non-profit-making.
