Robert Woodhead, LeedsIt’s about time it should be for the people not run for private profit.
Alexandra Quinn, GlasgowBritish Rail should never have been privatised. It was only done for private profit for shareholders.
Dave Seaton Ulliott, Hatfieldtrain operating companies are rubbish and expensive. BBBR.
Philip Hodge, MiddlewichGive us back what is ours.
Jonathan, KentConnex was a rubbish company which couldn’t run the railway, but no private company can do it!
Martyn McCarthy, LondonFor a better Britain.
Ian BradshawReliable rail network required.
Peter Keayes, LongfieldPlease bring back BR.
Jeanne Ross-Osborne, SouthamptonI want rail fares to be the same tariff wherever I go. It’s too complicated trying to find the best deals for an elderly pensioner.
Dylan Steward, WorcesterBring back British Rail.
Christopher Kerr, GlasgowWe need a British state-wide, publicly owned railway and for the sake of old times lets keep it as British Rail.
Jack A, LondonBring it back.
Leslie Allan, Whitley BayEast Coast is a well run and efficient organisation, with helpful and friendly staff. Also it makes a healthy profit, more than Virgin and much more than First Great Western.
David Kemball-Cook, St. AlbansYes. Privatising was a big expensive mistake.
Steve Thomas, CheltenhamIt wasn’t theirs to sell, and profit has pushed out service and safety. Bring it back into public hands.
Robin Richardson, Walton-on-ThamesIf East coast can do it with such great service then bring it on.
Catherine Heard, BeckenhamI’ve signed this petition to object to fat cat executives making huge profits from privatisation. Where is the promised investment? Bring back affordable fares.
David Bell, Ashby-de-la-ZouchRe-nationalise the rail service. It was ours and should be again.
John Parkes, LeedsUnified, national, well planned, strategic, facilitating leisure and the economy, cheaper, better, social – easy.
Kate Rowland, TywynAll service companies should never have been privatised.
Joe Stoner, BethesdaI’m 65 and remember how efficient and affordable BR was just prior to the ludicrous ideological Tory privatisation which has delivered such a deluge of waste.
Ruth Meaney, LondonIt’s the sensible thing to do.
Martin Bell, ChesterfieldYes. Yes. Yes.
Roger Semmens, PenzanceIt would be a damn sight more reliable in giving a better service instead of lining someone’s pocket.
Colin Naisbitt, Stockton-on-TeesPlease re-nationalise the railways.
Peter Garland, WhittlesfordThe service is regularly late or cancelled. There are never enough seats. They run four carriages when clearly eight or more are needed. The service is a joke.
Martin Percy, WellingboroughThere is only one way to run an efficient railway – not-for-profit and with close government control.
Martin Dallaghan, ManchesterI believe private sector has successfully shaken up and re-vitalised this previously semi-dormant form of public transport. So now it’s time it went back into public hands.
Neil McCart, CheltenhamBritain badly needs a good, efficient rail system which caters for the needs of people, not subsidised companies who are interested only in profit for shareholders.
Barbara Kennard, RytonWe need railways that can be a source of national pride. This cannot be realistically achieved through profit-focused privatisation.
