Bring back a rail that is not just for profit, but for the people who have to use these services.

Christopher Harrison, Warrington

Fingers crossed.

David Massie, Aberdeen

The privatised rail company bosses are boasting that many more people are using the railways since privatisation. That’s because the road network is overcrowded.

Steve Parkin, Leeds

Private companies take profit and run down quality. Nothing has ever been as good as British Rail.

Frances Jones, Perthshire

British Rail is best for Britain.

Dan Girard, Newcastle Upon Tyne

It’s time to end the naked profiteering of the privatised railways and run them for the benefit of those who use them.

Daniel Illingworth, Bradford

We spent one and a half hours on a cold (we could see breath), wet (water dripping onto seats and swimming over the floor), and late train on Sunday.

Alison Rodgers, Rotherham

Save the taxpayer money. No more giving out huge subsidies to be passed out to private rail company shareholders.

Claire Murphy, Bexleyheath

The private sector can work side by side with national rail service but privatising everything in this country means we are selling our country.

Ali Kheradnejad, Nuneaton

In these days of overcrowded roads and polluting automobiles, we need an affordable, clean and comfortable rail network. Money should be ploughed into providing this.

Jen Tierney, Southport

I heart British Railways.

May Loose Jamal,

As a former rail worker I don’t believe privatisation works. Railways should be a service not a business

Robert Mills, Newbury

My daughter commutes to London daily. She pays almost £1000 a month to stand, herded like cattle. Privatisation means profit first, people second. Wake up Britain.

Teresa White, Flitwick

The railways provide a social service and are not just a means of making large profits for private rail operators.

John Hulstrom, Harpenden

Something has to be done to sort out the mess of our railways. My train was late by 6 minutes and the connection was allowed to go because it was another company.

Thomas Glenn, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Train fares are way too overpriced.

Jon Smith, Bristol

Bring back the rail network as it was when my Dad worked on it. It was cleaner and more efficient and family affordable.

Audrey Jones, London

I want things to be back the way they used to be. A rail network for the people and not to make fat cats fatter. Above all, I want rail prices to be reasonable again.

Kulvinder Bhogal, Derby

This scrappy service is not worth the amount of money I spend on it.

Shannon Kilday, Glasgow

Regular peak time cancellations, short formations leading to dangerous overcrowding, increased fares. It’s totally unacceptable!

Julie Gossage, High Wycombe

It never should have been privatised.

Tim Hatcher, Chelmsford.

Good luck with the campaign! As a commuter I thank you for your efforts.

Joe Diamond

Take the Railways out of private hands.

Mark Jordan, London

We should be called travellers not customers and the railways should be run for the benefit of us all, not just for shareholders.

Daphne Hibberd-Franks, Leeds

British Rail, British Coal, British Steel. Britain works only for the nation when its jewels belong to the nation, not to private shareholders.

Douglas Coutts, Nottingham

Privatisation has been a very expensive mistake. These companies invest next to nothing and cream off great profits.

Denis Watterson, Otley

I support the idea of keeping railways in public ownership. Too much profit is taken out by shareholders and not kept in the rail industry for future improvements.

Bill Tymms, Leeds

Get rid of the foreign investors, and use the money we give to despots in other countries to run it.

Gordon Seaman, Havant

Bring back nationalisation to reduce fares and generate more revenue for the Country.

Steve Hardy, Rhyl

Privatisation has failed. It was always going to fail. Its time to finish this foolish experiment and return the railways to the people.

Colin O’Connor, Maidstone
