I’m fed up with disjointed rail services and prices.

Linda Macfarlane, Woodbridge

The National Rail tagline “Britain’s train companies working together” is quite laughable and out of touch with the railway as it is today.

Darren

This issue is the reason why I have no time for people who vote for right wing political parties.

Terence Ward, Wickford

The privatisation of BR was a politically motivated scorched earth policy. It provides very bad value for taxpayers and should be reversed.

Michael Armstrong, Thirsk

Nationalised is best.

Margaret Brown, Washington

East Coast is publicly owned, well-run and makes money for us – the public. Let’s see the rest of the network follow suit.

Carole Price, Hexham

Northern Rail out.

Joseph Aapden, Manchester

The present system has de-railed the service, price and commitment. Give it back to the people.

Shirley Kobiela, Falkirk

Now Thatcher has gone, it’s time we erased the odious Me! Me! Me! legacy she and her minions left behind and saw the return of services run for people, not profit.

David Hurst, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Please get rid of Thameslink.

Mitul Gohil, Luton

Bring Back the system that worked, get rid of these private companies who are bleeding the travelling public dry.

David Stower, Watford

I fully support the re-nationalisation of the railways.

Adam Wildash, Ash

Having lived in Esher, Surrey years ago and used British Rail many, many times, I wholeheartedly support the folks who serve the public so well. I just wish, wish.

Cheryl Crane, USA

I pay for a cheaper train even though it stops at a further station than the place I need to go to. Logic.

Saneet Bhella, Leeds

It’s about time we shut down this bunch of crooks.

Bill Walker, Lye

It’s about time to re-nationalise and invest the profits back into the railways, not the shareholders.

Paul Thomas, Cardiff

I love travelling by train for both ease of use and environmental reasons, but I feel bringing back BR will mean fares are less confusing and cheaper.

Richard Harcombe, Northwich

One boss, one set of rules and strategy.

Paul Foster, Hartlepool

since the service was privatised it has resulted in high prices, delays, overcrowding for the many, and high profits for the few.

Pam Thompson, Wisbech

A unified railway system is the only way. Bring back the branch lines too.

Christopher Evans, Byton Hand

The rail companies just attempted to shaft me by increasing their price in the middle of a transaction and their pricing structure is arbitrary.

George Ashley, Sheffield

Good luck.

Paul Holdsworth, Sheffield

I never understood why taxpayers pay private rail operators to take passengers’ money, with no gain to the taxpayer.

Jane Lennie, Shepshed

My dad worked on the railway before and after the privatisation. The difference in the way he was treated just proves why it needs to be re-nationalised.

Suzi Rayner, Stockton-on-Tees

I’m not a big train user, just fed up with being ripped off by privatisation. It’s the same with Royal Mail.

Michelle Hunt, Bristol

Re-nationalising the railways is the only way to make it for the people not just for private profit.

Helen Morton, London

Re-nationalise the railways and make them better. There are too many top bosses getting crazy pay and bonuses which should be used to improve the network.

Steve Adie, Carlisle

Decent transport and good service for everyone, not profit for the few is essential for a decent society.

Catherine Leach, Birmingham

In spite of the evidence of the East Coast line thriving under public control, the Tories intend to flog it off to their mates.

Terry Weldon, Basildon

Bring back a cheaper, cleaner and more reliable service.

Giles Hannaford, Shrewsbury
