Kamaal Jones, LutonRe-nationalise.
Matthew Haynes, WinchesterUnified 1948, broken 2017.
Jon Smith, BristolTrain fares are way too overpriced.
David Williams, CardiffI don’t wish to travel by train unless I can be guaranteed a seat at these prices.
Sonia Gray-Clough, HarrogateThe ownership of the railways should never have been separated. The railway experts said it would not work and it doesn’t.
Susan Legg, BedfordForget High speed 2, regenerate some of what we already have, and don’t forget East-West line.
Evelyn Welsh, PrestwickPrivatisation has been an absolute disaster. It’s time to run the railways for people, not profits for a few. I am embarrassed when I go abroad and see their railway systems.
Michael Craig, MagherafeltPeople before profit.
Ian Massey, ManchesterProfit over service equals major problems – hours and hours and hours of wasted time, lateness for work impacting on productivity etc. Bring back British Rail.
Jordan Crawford, NorthamptonI couldn’t think of anything more depressing than being bled dry for just trying to get to work and back.
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.
Joe Bishop, ReadingWe just want a radical policy from the Labour party. We don’t want to have a choice of the same 3 policies come election time.
Suzie Litton-Wood, DerbyIt would be great if it actually happened, but unlikely I fear with this Tory-led government.
Philip Foster, BirminghamMaybe we could have a government run for the people and not for profit too. Nice thought.
Dane Wotton, HoveI’m sick of being made late for work, dirty, uncomfortable trains and vastly overpriced fares that take a large and unfair chunk of my wages every month.
Stuart Butler, LondonTfL is often held up as an example of good service. East Coast made the government money when it was DfT- run. How this doesn’t make sense is beyond me.
John Madden, DarlingtonAs someone born in the cradle of railways, it appals me the way private companies rip off passengers. We need a united framework in public control.
Geoffrey And Patricia Duncan, Potters BarWe need a nationalised rail network. It is wrong to put profits before people.
Gary Clark, SunderlandOur railways would be much better suited in the public’s hands and not Cameron’s Spiv capitalists.
Noordad Aziz, Great HarwoodThe franchising system doesn’t work and needs to be nationalised.
Gala Middleton, NewarkEast Coast Trains proved that public ownership works. How ridiculous to then sell it.
Jennifer Parry, Rowlands GillYeah, and let’s have some proper effort to run it right.
Allan Robinson, SussexWe need a railway that’s a source of pride not profit.
William Earle, ScunthorpeBring back reasonably-priced rail fares. Stop the profit-making and re-invest in modern rolling stock.
Eric Penman, LiverpoolStop subsidising other people’s profit.
Tom Tyler, KentThe system we have at the moment is not working and is not very good!
Joe Hale, SwanseaBring back British Rail and railroad the crooks out of town.
Kevin Michael, GovilonNone of the main parties is discussing this wholly sensible option, yet poll after poll shows that this course of action is favoured by many people in Britain.
Jennifer Lynch, LondonThis increase is just too much on the already high prices. It’s pricing young adult commuters out of the market and cuts into already low salaries. It’s just too much.
Sue Ahrens, WatfordIt’s clearly sensible.
