Too expensive.

George Clements, Poole

It just makes sense.

Jackie Stevens, Coventry

Please re-nationalise the railways in a modern and efficient way. We are a small island and are clogging up our roads. We need subsidised rail for everyone’s benefit.

Diane Bowe, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Crap service from the mainline companies except from East Coast. I wonder why.

John Conley, Rosyth

Let us get back to providing a railway that is for passengers and not shareholders, and a service that is not an embarrassment to Britain.

Alastair Allan, Haddington

These railway companies are rubbish. Definitely bring back British Rail.

John Ward, Birmingham

It should never have been privatised.

Kenneth Jones, Treherbert

I fully support this campaign. I love the work.

Ian Stainthorp, Leyland

We need a joined up transport system.

Lyn Edwards, Watford

Re-unifying the fragmented, inefficient rail system is the obvious place to start; then on to all the other wasteful privatised utilities.

Robert Green, Thames Ditton

British Rail should be operated for transport, not profit.

David McKay, Pontefract

Not too much to ask.

Joe McKechnie, Liverpool

The railways were built for the public to use. We should be the ones to make the decisions etc.

Chris Kellett, Sheffield

It’s about re-nationalised British Rail. Run transport services for the people who use them, not the directors.

Chris Hoy, Leeds

Most rail services in this country are run by nationalised railways – just not our nationalised railway.

Bob Jones, Wolverhampton

Bring the rail system back to the people.

Paul Williams-Allen, Luton

Please bring back British Rail to run an efficient and not-for-profit service.

Pauline Harrison, Sheffield

To divide the railways into different companies makes a cut in responsibilities at the weakest point of the railway ever – the point between wheel and track.

Pierre Ofzareck, Cologne, Germany

In a truly civilized, wise society, things like railways and our electricity/gas provision, should be run by the people for the people.

John Rochford, Middlewich

Re-nationalise everything – gas, water electricity – all the things a country needs to flourish.

Terry Young, New Malden

Not only should we re-nationalise the railway network, but we must also bring back into the public sector the whole transport industry.

David Green, London

Privatisation is a modern disgrace.

Graham Kingdon, Truro

I’m fed up with paying an extortionate amount for poorer and poorer service.

Olivia McNeilis, London

The rail network does not work under privatisation and needs to be taken back into our hands, run for commuters not profiteers.

Dot Walker, Maldon

A rail service has to be fully integrated, and it can’t be while there’s competition. Re-nationalise.

Stephen White, Shepshed

We were promised an integrated transport system by Labour in 1997 but what we got were more private franchises ripping out excessive profits to pay greedy shareholders.

Anthony Brigg, Ilkley

I have been a rail user all my life and have never seen the system improve, not one bit, in any way and most of my use has been since privatisation.

Tom Black, Oxford

Should be in public ownership for future generations to benefit, not shareholders.

Scott Smith, Glasgow

East Coast is putting money back into the public purse rather than into profits for shareholders. That is as it should be. Every privatisation raises prices.

Theresa Marsden, Peterborough
