Public transport should not be run for private profit.

The privatisation of British Rail has proved to be a huge mistake. Can we please learn from this one and re-nationalise it.

The sooner our rail network, or fragmented network, is re-nationalised the better.

The current system just gives profits to private companies instead of the state.

The sooner the better.

There was much that wasn’t great about BR when it was nationalised, but the current farrago is unliveable with. Phased re-nationalisation is the only practical option. Carpe.

The only thing privatisation has brought us is poor quality, expensive, unreliable rail services.

End the farce and re-nationalise the railways. I travel to and from Cumbria by train and have never arrived on time in any direction. Also the fares are so expensive,

A unified national network run in the interests of passengers can only be better than the current fragmented system run in the interests of private profit and bureaucrats.

I long for the old days when the railways were run by people who were truly interested in their jobs and not run for greedy profiteers but for the passengers.

We need a nationalised railway, not to support shareholders.

What is wrong with public services for the public as opposed to selling valuable institutions and infrastructure to private companies beholden to profit and shareholders?

Love this idea… Could be a massive help for the country!

Please provide affordable, decent transport for the public. Transport should not be for shareholders’ profit.

Oh, yes please.

Prices are getting ridiculous now. What’s more, the service is getting worse. Delays, overcrowding and high expense is not what we need.

Bring it back. The people’s railway.

Privatisation hasn’t worked on the railways. Bring back public ownership.

The railways are a public service.

As soon as shareholders and profits come in, consumers needs go out.

Railways were privatised so why is the government spending £50bn to build a new line only to hand it over to a private operator for the benefit of a few people?

Run for the benefit if the people not a few shareholders.

I totally support this petition.

Re-nationalise our railways now to stop the above inflation fare rises!

The present system is inefficient and wastes money. It’s time for change.

I’m disgruntled and fed up with daily cancellations, delays and overcrowded peak-time services on the Luton/St Albans to Sevenoaks service.

The rail network is a disgrace to this country. We have travelled by rail in Europe where prices are affordable and regulated. In the UK pricing is a minefield.

You know it makes sense.

It should never have been privatised, like all other public services – Water, Gas, Electricity, which were all sold to foreigners who made a fortune off the backs of British people.

The sheer confusion of using our transport system makes me ashamed in other countries. The cost of train travel way surpasses travel by car.
