Bring back all privatised industries.

Keith Northeast, Nottingham

Re-nationalise it for the people, put the profits back into paying decent wages and re-generation of the system, not lining the fat cats’ pockets.

Kim Saunders, Southend-on-Sea

Freedom of movement is useless with overpriced transport.

Cameron Fleming, Manchester

Railways should be run for public need not private greed, and for all of us to make use of.

Pip Tindall, Brighton

Please end the idiocy of privatisation. Bring it all back under one umbrella for the good of the country, the passengers and the industry.

Mike Gibson, Warminster

I think I could get something going in Dundee.

Albert Mitchell, Dundee

There are a number of industries which do not benefit from anything but national ownership. This is one of them.

Andrew McTaggart, Cheltenham

Public transport is not something that should be exploited by private enterprise. Bring back British Rail and give us a proper train service.

Simon Rowling, Kent

I think the railways should be nationalised without compensation.

Mike Hoy, Dronfield

The current rail structure seems to be a lesson in financial obscurity with little incentive to innovate or develop services in response to increased demand.

Paul Goulden, Dewsbury

Please bring back the concept of public service to British society.

Maurice James, St Albans

Why should taxpayers subsidise these private companies in order for their shareholders to gain. Take them back now.

Christine Rogers, Hastings

I support a national railway that supports U.K. citizens

M. Clare Thornton , Plymouth

Sort it out and give us back the railways.

Sid Willard, London

I’m a train commuter. Is there more to say?

Francesca Stefanato, Norwich

Reverse Beeching’s and Thatcher’s criminality.

David Rigg, Dumfries

Create a railway for people not profit!

Rose Whitehorn, Bristol

A transport system is essential for our society, not for investors to make a profit. No-one should make profit on something which is a key to how we exist.

Helle Kristjansen, London

Public transport has no place for spivs. It is a basic human right.

Kath Lockhart, Sedbergh

It should be run for the benefit of the people, not for private profit.

John Corrigan, Bridge of Earn

Bring back BR.

Nicholas Bigsby, London

I’m fed up with late and cancelled trains – and railcard increases for a deteriorating service.

Del Davies, Kent

The rail infrastructure of this country should never have been allowed to fall into private hands.

Mike Yorke, Morpeth

We need one company to oversee the whole of the UK network. Franchising isn’t working. Any profits need to go directly to improving and greatly expanding the network.

Dael Gabriel, Torquay

A long held view – bring the railways back into public ownership.

John Emmott, Tenterden

Bringing British Rail back into the public domain is a no brainer. A state owned system would cost less and profits would go to the nation.

David Bacon, Sheffield

First are extortionate.

Dale Shanley, Bristol

Please bring back British Rail to the British people who already pay for it. At the moment it lines fat cats’ pockets.

Georgina Norton, Sandbach

For the people, not private profit.

Eirin Julie Ingebrigtsvoll, London

For the people not private profit.

Elizabeth Moulding, Cramlington
