Railways for the people, not profit for the elite.

Sean Jackson, Windsor

I am sick of paying more and more money, only to have the quality continuously deteriorate so drastically.

James de Kock, London

The shocking performance of rail services shows it needs to be state-owned. I do not remember the last time a train left exactly on time.

Nick Urquhart, Aberdeen

We need a joined-up rail network with fair working conditions for all employees.

Gill Haggie, Rotherham

The utilities too.

Jenny Vaughan, London

Public ownership for public services.

Elliott Clark, Crawley

Isn’t it time to admit what a terrible idea it was to break up a nationwide system?

John Grat, Preston

Privately-owned and operated railways do not put the passengers first. Re-nationalise now.

Robert Hicks, Hardwicke

It’s a no-brainer.

Philip Mead, London

We’ve been taken for a ride far too long.

Ron Ellis, Weston-super-Mare

The Tories run the East coast main line as LNER. Bring back BRITISH RAIL.

Colin Flowerday, Holt

I believe that it is very important to have a unified, not-for-profit railway sytem to provide travel at reasonable cost..

Derek Bibb, Glasgow

Why do we have services that are owned by other countries’ national rail companies?

Robert Hawes, Faversham

The railway needs investment in rolling stock to relieve overcrowding. The present system cannot deliver this.

Steven Toms, York

Twenty years of private incompetence. It’s time to re-nationalise.

David Bonner, Harrow

I love trains.

Scott Boeser, Bristol

Pre-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.

Gordon Dowell, Gillingham, Kent

De-privatise the railway.

Lisa Nesbitt, Southend-on-Sea

The rail network’s commitment to above inflation price rises proves privatisation has failed the people of Britain. It needs to end now.

Kester Park, York

Re-nationalise.

Paul Davis, Hertford

Current service: bad service for a bad price. My regular route is like travelling on a cattle wagon.

The Makin, Bolton

Keep East Coast Trains in public ownership and add also Greater Anglia and First Capital Connect.

Alan Thomson, Ware

I am ex BR retired (ill health) supervisor who lost my job because of the Iron Lady.

Kevin Mulhall, Newark

I am 60 and I used British Rail daily, in my youth. I want BR back, in public ownership.

Antonella Massari, Bristol

The present system has got to be rescued.

Judith Willis, Newark

I am sick of public money subsidising private companies and shareholders. Give it back to us – we paid for it after all!

Mary Watson, London

Make it a partnership: a publicly-owned John Lewis, with passenger, employee and government representation – not a state bureaucracy, as before.

Ian Mycroft, Leamington Spa

Other European countries can run a public rail network which is efficient, safe and economic. We used to have something to be proud of too, but didn’t invest enough in it.

Matthew Edwards, Port Sunlight

Training down to London frequently, we cannot understand why our brilliant East Coast service should not remain publicly-owned, with others joining us to make a profit.

Wendy Easen, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Educate, agitate, organise.

Brian Cusack, Nottingham
