Joan Maclellan, EdinburghSave East Coast from privatisation.
Bert Bell, BarnstapleA cost-effective and efficient service can be achieved by a single provider of a nationalised rail service.
Richard Balchin, Saffron WaldenBrexit finally allows us to take back control over our nation’s railways. Brexiteers want a great British Railway back.
James Abbott, WithamA railway owned by the public and run for the public – that is what we want.
Zoe Hunter, ChesterfieldIt’s useless under privatisation.
Alan Campbell, BalernoIt’s time to call a halt to the massive failings of the privatised rail network.
James Murphy, East BoldonRailways in the UK are no longer the mode of transport affordable to people earning the minimum wage. Flying is cheaper than travel by rail. Come on government.
Alison Harris, PontefractRailways and other forms of public transport should be subsidised by the state for the benefit of the users and employees and not for shareholders in private companies.
Eriks Teteris, ReadingHow could anyone have tried to privatise, and make what is a core service to the nation a profit making industry? Now there’s a good idea to make it all go wrong.

Jonathan Ash, St AlbansRe-nationalisation is the right step for all possible reasons.
Anne Joynes, WatfordWe need ‘not-for-profit’ trains like East Coast.
Martin Rawson, DerbyEast Coast Mainline proves it can be done. High quality service run for passengers not shareholders’ profit.
Claire Fitch, St AlbansThe railway should go back to being nationalised. We didn’t have the problems we have today and the pricing was better and you didn’t get ripped off by the train companies.
Stephen Pacey, WorksopI’m old enough to remember BR, ergo I’m old enough to remember plenty of carriages and plenty of seats – and at a reasonable price.
Laura Yates, Newcastle-upon-TynePlease listen to the voices of reason and also see what the EC line is doing for the country’s finances.
Colin McCathie, DerbyWe had the best rail network in the world. Now some of it needs restoring.
David Batten, CoventryPublic services should never be privatised.
Alan Campbell, BalernoRail privatisation has been a disaster except for a few company directors and other major shareholders.
Emma Kane, StockportIt would be wonderful if Britain was proud again of its rail network and led the world rather than lagged behind. The only way it works is one company i.e.. government
Steve Revins, BirminghamRailway workers and users together to fight for our interests.
Gareth Davies, ReadingBring back all public infrastructure into public ownership and reduce top civil service wages to a maximum of £50,000 per annum.
Julian Kaye, LutonWe need a unified rail network with through-ticketing, instead of third party skimming.
Matthew Griffin, GillinghamI’m fed up with high prices, illogical fares and poor, unprofessional service.
