Chris Hogg, Melton MowbrayI’m a signaller for 35 years. Re-nationalise to prevent the madness of hundreds of companies working against each other.
Phil White, BlackwoodSubsidies are now higher to private companies than under BR. So much for privatisation.
Alice Ellis-Bray, PenzanceIncredible campaign and petition! This brings me such hope. Thank you! Our earth needs affordable public transport for all!
Ellie Rigby, LondonBring back British Rail.
P Moon, AberystwythBecause the current system is over-priced and under-delivers for passengers.
Lee Miller, WarringtonToo many words.
Trevor Neat, KenilworthProfits for the people.
Andrew Bromley-Waugh, KentPrivatising the railways has been the biggest con job by the conservative party. It was always about profiteering for a selective clientele, and not serving the public.
Ellie Harrison, GlasgowI just want to be able to buy a fairly priced ticket on the day I need to travel. I’m fed up with the free market and the madness of advance purchase deals.
Tony Wilson, Bury St EdmundsA unified public rail-owner can deliver low, clear, simple prices. Without multiple profit takers construction project costs can be halved.
Aaron M, East SussexTicket prices have ballooned since privatisation, as every player in the rail industry whacks up the profit margins.
Barbara Greetham, GranthamTragic.
Heather Carr, FalkirkThey should never have been privatised.
Jojo Yexley, LondonTotally unfair and disgraceful.
Deb Tetley, LeedsLets take back our trains and make them work for us, not private companies.
Norma Tyler, Whitley BayTravel by train used to be my favourite way to travel. I can’t afford the luxury any more. It’s actually cheaper to fly. Bring back our trains for public transport again.
Martha Vale, HerefordWe deserve cheaper prices. Everything is going up except wages.
Sara Salyers, AuchtermuchtyIt has all been said. Public ownership of public utilities.
Neil McNab, LondonRailways should be publicly owned.
Ronald Donnelly, LondonPrivatisation has patently not worked.
Alison Parker, EnfieldAs a First Capital Connect victim, I fully support your aims.
Charles Naylor, YorkThe pricing of tickets is farcical and needs reform – a Government initiative through BR would help to resolve this.
Andrew Clubb, AberdeenDoes this Government sell off their own family silver or just the country’s. They are catching up with Gordon Brown.
Eilidh Sinclair, GlasgowLet’s do this – re-nationalisation of all public services.
Matthew Shewbridge, LondonBusiness and railways don’t mix. As a natural monopoly, there is no real competition amongst providers to deliver a service of good value and high quality.
Sheelagh Nash, DumfriesThe sooner the better.
Norma Wall, BedfordWhen are we going to have a completed rail link between Oxford, Bedford and Cambridge?
M T, LondonYes, bringing back British Rail would be a good idea.
Lynda Woodroffe, LondonThe railways have got worse and worse and more and more expensive under privatisation. It should never have been put on the market.
Hannah Williamson, MacclesfieldPlease do.
