Barney Platts-Mills, AndoverTransport should sensibly be a public service.
John Gilfillan, LeedsThe last 20 years have seen the taxpayers’ pounds drained into shareholders’ pockets and fares rise disgracefully. Profit is not the only motive; service enriches us better.
Chris and Rosemary Staddon, NottinghamOur rail network needs coherence which is not possible with too many privatised bits
Peter Funnell, Barton-on-SeaTake the whole network back from the thieves without compensation.
Adrian Beldon, HuddersfieldIt’s been a farce since it was privatised. Re-nationalise now.
Joseph Pitchford, HarrogateI bought my train ticket for my regular commute. However, I accidentally bought it for the next day and was then tricked into giving my details for a £100 fine.
William Quick, BristolPrivatisation has channelled public funds into private hands and left us with one of the most expensive and least efficient railways. We must renationalise now.
Mick Dawber, NottinghamBring back the railways where they belong.
Graham Symms, BroughtonThe railways, like so many other things, should be run for the benefit of all the citizens of this country and not to make already rich people even richer.
David Williams, LeicesterDo it, and get those money-grabbing bastards out.
Nero Taylor, CroydonWe desperately need our railways back into our own control! Cheaper travel fares, a much more reliable service and many more trains.
Paul Bright, BournemouthBringing Back British Rail will save millions of lives on our roads and help save the NHS. It is a sensible way to fix the UK economy.
Andrew Moore, EnfieldMajor infrastructure components such as all of the rail network should be nationally owned and operated.
John Hoyle, HalifaxBring it back.
Graham Lucas, Westcliff-on-SeaPrivatisation was the worst thing that ever happened to the railways.
Thomas Butlin, LoughboroughWe own it.
Chris Knowles, DealWe’ve seen privatisation exploit its passengers, now let’s see nationalisation serve its passengers.
Rachel Garnett, LondonUtterly fed up with our privatised rail system – trains are always late, expensive and over crowded.
Keith Gunstone, MachynllethStop HS2 and spend the money on improving regional lines.
Tony Laidler, RytonMake it happen now.
John O’Regan, LimerickDon’t let British Rail be privatised.
Malcolm Stacey, NottinghamEast Coast Trains shows how it can be done.
Peter Forster, HaltwhistleThis has to be done. No more big profits from robbing the people who pay Fares.
Kenny Pryde, SuttonI want an accountable minister in charge, not a chief executive seeking to maximise profit over service and passengers.
Alex Casale, LondonSince this public service was sold off, the taxpayer is still paying large subsidies, even though it has been ‘privatised’.
Jonathan Butters, LiverpoolThe railways, roads, canals, airports, ports, ferries, electricity, gas and water/sewage should be owned and run by the state for the people.
Ray Allott, ThorneSelling off our national tax-funded assets to foreign buyers was tantamount to treason and still is. Take them back with no compensation.
Anne Seifipour, GatesheadLet the people sort out this mess that privatisation has made of our railways. Give it back to us.
Kevin Bennett, WarringtonWe need a publicly-owned railway system to stop private enterprise making a profit while the taxpayer subsidises them.
Gill Page, BedalePrivatisation has been an expensive disaster. Re-nationalise.
