Pauline Mackintosh, NottinghamForeigners are bemused by the broken disconnected rail travel that we have. I am too. It is vital to have a joined-up, coherent service to keep business slick and safe.
Jim Gibson, Newcastle-upon-TyneWe need the rail networks in safe hands, not left to companies who see the travelling public as profit. Bring the railways back under government control.
James Ross, AddinghamGet the rail network back on track.
Thomas Burke, OldhamWhat gives this Coalition the right to sell off the Royal Mail against the wishes of the British people? I’m more than unconvinced. Stop this now.
Bruce Rose, Haywards HeathBring it on – if every commuter in the Southeast signed this then the government would have to listen.
Toby Saunders, FarnboroughMy train fare is too expensive, the service is terrible and I rarely get a seat.
Joanne Turner, CamberleyBring back British Rail.
Gareth Brown, LondonNo more rip-offs – by the people, for the people.
Kathy Dancy, Milton KeynesCurrently a crazy system. Bring back single prices for a given journey plus the fact it should be a service, not a profit-making concern.
Barbara Nelson, LeedsWe are sick of over-priced and over-crowded trains. Privatisation has failed to bring the improvements promised and has just resulted in fat profits for the few.
Thomas Dunn, YorkPlease put rail users’ needs before greedy shareholders’ demands for profit. Other countries do.
Liam Mills, PortsmouthPoor services and no pride in the private industry. Bring back BR.
Raymond Curtis, NottinghamRailways, Gas, Electricity, Water and Post Office should never have been privatised. They are too essential to be left to the vagaries of the market.
Tony Galea, LondonWhy are we not able to emulate European railways?
Patricia Bartley, YorkThe railway network is too important to be in private hands.
Michele Moatt, PenrithThe return of British Rail would be absolutely fantastic.
Nicola Laing, Haywards HeathSack Southern and Claire Perry.
Diane Allman, WiltshireMaking vast profits on public transport is obscene.
Martin Shaw, DoncasterI just want it back, joined-up and efficient.
Simeon Green, IlkestonDo it yesterday.
Harry Keane, Gillingham, KentPublic services should be run for the public good, not private profit.
Robin Carmichael, LeedsSurely it is common sense for some of our transport system to be publicly owned.
Alan J. Coyle, Newcastle-upon-TyneThey should never have been privatised in the first place. Money-grabbing Tories and their mates.
Steve Manchee, Newcastle-upon-TyneA publicly-owned railway will need to allow much more regional control and influence.
Shaun Pye, LeedsThen maybe we can get back to fixed fares for each route.
Jane Bunting, BristolWe will never have reliable weekend travel while shareholders matter more than rail users.
Peter Sinclair, BirkenheadPeople not profit.
John Lane, HastingsI feel that public ownership is best for business.
Thomas Robinson, SheppertonA train guard refused to let me board a train when I asked to see his ID, after he questioned me about my ticket, he then proceeded to throw a punch at me as it departed.
Eileen Nicholas, MelroseAs a very frequent user of busy East Coast Trains which is now profit making, I feel the country should benefit, instead of private companies.
