Anthony Coombs, BuckinghamshireThe current system is not working and the only solution is a single integrated rail system that is publicly owned.
Ernest Williams, EckingtonWe are paying twice for our services – once through fares and the other through taxes. Stop the rip off.
Ged Travers, CoventryNo more taxpayers’ money for private rail contractors. Cancel all private franchises and re-nationalise the whole railway network under the British Rail banner.
Niall Campbell, BraintreeIt is disgraceful that an organisation that gets so much funding makes shareholders their priority rather than their customers.
Hilary Hunt, Market OvertonA rail service where passengers are valued, instead of being ripped off to line the pockets of the already obscenely rich.
Gwylon Phillips, AberteifiOpen the line to Aberystwyth from Carmarthen.
Mathew Taylor, ManchesterPlease re-nationalise the rail network.
Alan Bowers, LiverpoolTrains for people not for profit.
Peter Garland, WhittlesfordThe service is regularly late or cancelled. There are never enough seats. They run four carriages when clearly eight or more are needed. The service is a joke.
Curtis Free, LondonHow can trains being run for profit by private companies be of benefit to anyone? Bring it in line with Transport for London and make it a public body.
Robin Gell, CardiffWe don’t need the myth of competition, just one efficient unit all working together, run by rail professionals, not bean-counting city types.
Chris Forkins, LeedsHow barmy is it to have the track and rolling stock owned by different companies?
Stephen Fay, CwmbranBring back BR!
Shela Close, Newcastle-upon-TyneYou know it’s the right thing to do. People not profit. Let us be proud of something as important and vital as our rail network.
Ashley Woosnam, NorthamptonRe-nationalize BR as soon as possible. I’m sick of ever-increasing ticket prices, whilst services get worse, together with the attitude of station staff.
Allan Savage, CramlingtonBritish Rail should never have been privatised for it belongs to the people.
Colin Carpenter, BedfordWe need to unify the railways again to make them much cheaper for us to use, so we need British Railways back again.
Thomas Davis, LondonI believe the new rail ticket design is confusing for all and unfair for people with sight problems. The design needs to revert back to the old one.
John A K Davies, HaverfordwestArriva Trains Wales is state-owned – by Germany.
Sandra Barr, StevenageEast Coast trains were a fantastic service and needed to stay in the public sector. How dare this government sell it off to Virgin?
Kathleen Napier, PrestonBring back trains where seats are available in ordinary class and not just for 1st Class passengers. 1st Class carriages are half empty whilst the others stand for miles.
Carolyn Mayfield, OkehamptonWe need proper services, proper pricing which is comprehensible and trains that are affordable and usable. I would use a train to commute to work if I could.
Richard Marsh, BridgwaterI never thought you would find me saying this, but let’s re-nationalise the network. It cannot be any worse. I’m an ex First Great Western passenger.
Paul Lenihan, LondonThe system as it is now is a bloody mess and one big massive rip-off.
Ian Tomlinson, LiverpoolThey should never have been privatised.
Jojo Yexley, LondonTotally unfair and disgraceful.
Greg Morris, GlenrothesOn train today from Aberdeen to Kirkcaldy and got removed from train at Dundee as train was no longer stopping at stations past Dundee until Edinburgh. Total disgrace.
Richard Merriman, Melton MowbrayI’m sick of being ripped off by Tory fat cats.
Richard Barraball, BrightonThere should be investment in longer platforms and trains so that each ticket sold also has a seat. Also commuter only trains during rush hours so nobody has to stand.
Gordon Dowell, Gillingham, KentPre-privatisation message read if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Now it is broken we have to try to fix it. Sign up and let Cameron know we’re out there.
