Jane Begley, ExeterBuying a ticket takes so long. It used to be so simple when the ticket seller would tell you the best deal and you’d buy your ticket. Tax on fuel should fund public transport.
Michael Crawley, AltrinchamWe need an integrated rail system in our small country.
Paul Mosley, Sawley, NottinghamI agree.
Micheal McClelland, LondonI’ve never felt safe on the railways since privatisation.
Malcolm Lanfear, GloucesterBring back British Railways, so we in Gloucester can have a proper train service again, like Cardiff to Newcastle and Swansea to Leeds.
Jason Leyton, LondonStop the fares rip-off.
Alfred English, ColchesterWe deserve a service that suits the public, not the profit-making private. Also to encourage the use of a greener transport system.
Alexander Kershaw, CaterhamRe-nationalisation of the railways would mean more care for people, more efficiency, fairer prices and less stress.
Rebecca Wilson, MarlboroughBring back nationalised British Rail and give us back our railways.
Amanda Barr, MalpasI wholeheartedly believe this is one of the best things to do for this country, removing barriers to travel, increase ability to earn and pay more taxes.
Catherine Markey, CambridgeRail travel should be state-owned so fares remain low, thus car use is reduced and the government is accountable for safety. Profit shouldn’t come into it.
Graham Harrison, OldhamThe people need to make sacrifices and boycott the rail network. Nothing will ever change until the companies that run the rails lose money. A few days would be enough.
Charlotte Warne Thomas, LondonFed up with the swindle of private corporations creaming off public subsidy and providing shoddy service!
John Lowe, OxfordBring back British Rail and get rid of all the TOCs and bring it under one umbrella.
Alison Webster, BanwellWe used to own the whole network, until it was stolen by the Tories and sold.
Maxwell Hough, WiganPoliticians like the idea of privatisation because it can generate a lot of money and money is the usually one of the few things that politicians truly understand.
Christina Sosseh, Milton KeynesEver since it was privatised the cost to us has gone up, while the rail companies rake in millions in profits and subsidies for keeping it in shape. It shouldn’t be allowed.
William Chivers, LeedsI still believe re-nationalisation of the UK’s Rail Network may be a potential key answer as far as I’m concerned.
Alan Bayes, LondonThe transport system should exist primarily to benefit passengers, not to line the pockets of the likes of Branson.
Mary Greer, LondonAs London gets more expensive to live in, more and more of us will have to commute, but £3,000-5,000 a year is totally ludicrous.
Adam Potts, LiverpoolEnd the franchise madness now. Directly operated and owned railways.
Vernon Hartley, SouthamptonThe nationalised rail network should never have been privatised. The question of re-nationalisation should be apolitical and this process must happen without delay.
Ant Butler, PiltonRail communication – like any other monopolistic structure – must be managed centrally to be safe, efficient and affordable.
Helen Bright, LondonTrains are over-priced, over-crowded and never on time. Prices rise yet service get worse.
Phil Smart, LeicesterI love the trains, I really do. But they’re too expensive and smaller towns are poorly served. Bring back British Rail and give us a train system to be proud of!.
Michael Benis, HoveSense and responsibility, not politics.
Chris Bromfield, YeovilBring back British Rail, for the people, by the people and for the future of the railways.
Phill Lloyd, HailshamBring back British Rail. Privatisation of the U.K railway network is a proven failure; just ask the fare paying passengers!
Christine Bainbridge, DurhamIt should never have been privatised.
Matt Naylor, LeicesterRailway employee of 20+ years.
