Peter Sansom, GlasgowPrivatisation has meant soaring ticket prices, ever larger subsidies and inferior service. Transport in the hands of the state (East Coast) will always outperform private.

Max Burton, ManchesterJust look at East Coast. We in the North could do with a bit of that.

William Clark, BrandonBring it back.

Simon SteeleI support this cause and believe the rail services should be nationalised once more, for a better service and cheaper, more affordable travel.

Using public money to bribe private companies to run our train services on time?🚊💸 That's the madness of the privatised rail system🤦 Sign the 38 Degrees petition to force failing Avanti West Coast to hand back its "performance-related bonuses" 👇 ... See MoreSee Less
Britain’s worst train operator should give back taxpayer cash
act.38degrees.org.uk
I just signed the campaign calling on Avanti West Coast to give back their bonuses. Will you join me?Comment on Facebook
Signed.
Some parts of the rail systems are nationalised but they need to stamp out on bureaucracy.
Unlikely but signed
How can they afford the overtime rates agreed with ASLEF? Who will end up paying?
My husband was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia disease 2 years ago, when he was 59. He had a stooped posture, tremors, right arm does not move and also a pulsating feeling in his body. He was placed on Duloxetine for 8 months and then Milnacipran was introduced and replaced the Duloxetine, during this time span he was also diagnosed with dementia. He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took him off the Milnacipran (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started him on Fibromyalgia natural herbal formula we ordered from AKNNI HERBS CENTRE, his symptoms totally declined over a 3 weeks use of the AKNNI HERBAL Fibromyalgia disease natural herbal formula. He is now almost 64 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed! Visit w w w . aknniherbscentre .com

Renationalised is a term for it. Democratised is a term I prefer. That is the railways are run by the Govt with a Minister accountable Parliament and voters able to deliver a verdict if they so choose at elections
Renationalise everything......you know.....like when it all worked! Utilities, water, nhs, post office, schools, colleges.......everything!
It's a no brainer really, pay money back to the Exchequer or pay dividends to shareholders. I know which I'd rather see!

Mick Lynch: We Need to End the Disastrous Experiment of Rail Privatization

Since the 1993 Railways Act was passed, the privatization of British railways has resulted in rising costs, service reductions, and staff cuts. On the act’s 30th anniversary, RMT general secretary M...Comment on Facebook
So true
I agree with you Mick. It’s not working except for the shareholders.
Totally agree
Not just the railway's gas electric public transport water
Should be run by BR BUT FUNDED PROBABLY. But mick lynch is a left wing communist B. All he wants is to bring down any government who don’t give in to him. I’m ex Br.
Privatisation is spelt with an S
yews lets go back to the days when the unions ran the railways imposing firemen on diesel trains , wrecking the profitability with outrageous wage demands , holding the government and country to ransom .
Let's get rid of Mick Lynch. Only cares about himself. Corrupt
french workers know how to win disputes all out till get what they want not stop start action but gd on yous for fighting for better terms n conditions and pay overs from ppl whos wages have went up 40% in last 12 yrs
Before privatisation there was one guy on over £100k a week in charge. After privatisation there was 600 guys on over £100k a week in charge

🥳VICTORY: 750,000 people force a climbdown on plans to close ticket offices in England.
👏For everyone who replied to the consultation - thank you!
The message is loud and clear. Rail companies must put people before profit.

Great news well done to all great result just hope keep there word
🥰🥰🥰
Had an email from them. 'The Petitions Committee decided not to debate the petition you signed'
Be sure they will be back to try again the tories hate to think the public knows better than them
Will the over 75s get their free TV licence now🤣
I don't think we did it. I think the fact that there's a general election coming up in the next year did it.
The next question is; since the Government said that they won't put more money into the subsidies, what is the next thing that the Train Operating Companies (TOC's) will try to cut to keep up the dividend payouts?

France, Germany, Japan, all covered in high-speed rail, helping to grow their economies and improve connectivity around their countries. In Britain … one high-speed line to get from London to Birmingham. It's pathetic.

We need to demand it from the Labour party as a manifesto pledge because the Tories aren't listening.
Tory Party values.
It's a management contract which means it doesn't matter how bad they are they will still get paid their fee and they will be protected from any loses due to industrial action or even another pandemic ( don't forget the current government likes to remind us all that every household paid £1400 to prop up those naughty striking rail workers)
I wonder how much do we expect from it if it would be nationalised.
Typical Tory reaction rewarding abysmal failure! I expect the CEO to get a knighthood.
