?..Jeremy Corbyn.

Charles Burgess, Eastbourne

We taxpayers are paying more in subsidy to the private companies that run the railways now than we ever did when it was state-owned. Re-nationalise now.

Jerry Cooper, London

Nationalisation now. The people to own the railways.

T Matthews, Exeter

It should never have been privatised. There is too much money wasted the way it’s run now.

Aaron Lee Gibson, Carlisle

Public Transport should be owned and managed by the public, for the public as a public service and always on a not-for-profit basis.

Shirley Stott, Brighouse

Our station is a disgrace, quite third world, and the trains are slower than they were in British Rail days. Also the cheap rate is almost impossible to use.

Edith Glatter, Hemel Hempstead

I would love a transport system that is as good as the systems in most of Europe.

Victoria Benson, Shoreham-by-Sea

The nationalisation of the rail industry is one of the most important means of improving the environment and social mobility, and towards reducing regional inequality.

Sean Sayer, London

Take the railways back from the greedy corporates who profit while we suffer every day.

Damon Newton-Goode, Portsmouth

The system is far too complicated and expensive.

Andy Elliott, Belfast

TFL shows how one centralised control of a transport network can benefit passengers by keeping fares low and co-ordinating everything together.

Nick Posford, Redhill

Let’s hope someone in power is actually listening.

Christine Cowin, London

The privatisation of public services experiment is an unequivocal failure. It’s time to take it all back.

Kim Grais, Leeds

Nationalisation of public services and utilities ought to be a no-brainer for any progressive person/party/group.

Angie Sandhu, London

I would like to re-nationalise everything which has been privatised, plus the banks.

Jacqueline Clifford, Brampton

Great idea. It’s time it was taken out of private hands before we have no railway at all.

Olive Baines, Leeds

This is self explanatory.

Stephen Baxter, Glasgow

Stop selling the family silver. We are moving down the evolutionary ladder again, ruled over by the insane. What isn’t good for everyone should not even be considered.

Herrat Heinrich, Bristol

We need a railway system that works for the users not the shareholders.

Valerie McIntosh, Warrington

The public should not pay fares until trains are from this century and they have adequate space for the relevant number of passengers at the right time of day.

Ray Durie, Liverpool

This was a disastrous decision and we want it reversed. I want a decent, reliable, affordable public transport system that’s run as a ser vice, not for private profit.

Anna Dovey, Liphook

Frequent travellers need decent fares.

Roxana Anniuk, Philadelphia, USA

No to the privatisation of public profits. No to the subsidy of private companies. No to increased fares. No to inefficient private sector maintenance contracts.

Luke Heanue, London

I’m tired of the privatisation mantra. The market does not create efficiency or keep prices in check. Re-nationalise rail now.

Robert Bayley, Ely

Bring back BR!

Stephen Fay, Cwmbran

I was an employee of British Rail before the Beeching era, and afterwards. Goods traffic was the profit then and we never saw passenger train delays either.

Greg Davis, Cleveleys

Ever-rising prices, overcrowded trains and immense subsidies from taxes to fatten profits.

Chris Wrigley, West Bridgford

Ridiculous state of affairs re price of tickets etc.

Peter Read, Watford

It should be a Labour manifesto pledge.

Terry McKeown, Leeds
