I completely agree. Tickets are over-priced and service isn’t good.

Philip Kingston, Woking

Let’s stop yet another example of rip-off Britain.

John Stannard, Sheffield

It’s the only solution that makes any sense.

Ellis Lander, London

Vote Green to bring back British Rail.

Jon Matthews, Swanley

The current system is an expensive, overpriced mess. We have the highest fares in Europe. Re-nationalisation has to happen now.

Andrew Smith, Galashiels

Railway workers and users together to fight for our interests.

Steve Revins, Birmingham

Re-nationalise and keep the profits to be invested in the infrastructure.

Trevor Walsh, Oldham

A workable transport system can only work if subsidised. Re-nationalising the railways makes sense in any civilised equal society.

Julian Gillespie, Manchester

What exactly does this country own? Answers on a postage stamp please, if you can afford one.

Irene Jones, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Bring back British Rail.

Jools Johnston-Elliott, Faversham

Let the railways be run for the passengers and not for the shareholders.

Louise Ffoulkes, London

It was stolen from us. We’d only be taking back what was ours.

Sam Richards, Totnes

As a regular rail user of Great Western between Paddington and Plymouth, I find it slower and stupidly expensive with the same 40 year old trains and no plans to improve it.

Wayne Elsworth, Plymouth

Yes to re-nationalisation, but I do think they should be run for profit, with profits used for re-vamping our railway lines and stations, future and for re-opening lines.

Patrick Spain, Milton Keynes

This Government should be sacked.

Frances Tham, London

Rail companies have under-invested for far too long.

Adam Shelley, Tunbridge Wells

It’s time to return to Social Democracy.

Michael Hare, Warrington

Railways, Gas, Electricity, Water and Post Office should never have been privatised. They are too essential to be left to the vagaries of the market.

Raymond Curtis, Nottingham

It must be done properly, and that means taking ownership of all the track, rolling-stock, infrastructure etc.

Rich Fisher, Bristol

Bring the railways back into public hands. Stop private companies ripping us off and putting profits before the public.

Hamish Anderson, Hexham

I would like to bring back British Rail, as it will then be affordable for all and be a massive tourism boost. We would have a decent rail system like other countries.

Sarah Shahid, Sheffield

Keep public services public!

Elaine McDonald, Basildon

Save the railways.

David Laidlaw, Edinburgh

I’m lost in the USA and, having been surrounded by insane and extreme capitalism, I have seen that Britain needs to re-nationalise all public service industries..

Martin Sheville, Arizona, USA

As a railway worker I want the railway nationalised.

Paul Gibson, London

Yes, there where issues with BR, but they were trying to improve the service and, after the hugely popular InterCity 125, things were turning round but then randomly sold off.

Alex Lewis, Wales

We want British Rail back.

Ryan Pengelly, Exeter

UK railways are in a shocking state.

Mark Kapalo, Telford

An efficient and effective public transport system for the benefit of the public and the nation as a whole. Is that too much to ask?

Leonora Rozee, Stroud

The UK rail network services should be the best they can be, not for private profit but for the support they can give to the UK society and economy.

Trevor Udberg, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
