Brian Hodgson, WatfordAll major infrastructure (road, rail, energy, communications) should be state owned and controlled.
Esther Lusty, DurhamIf we are trying to live a greener life and one that is not too costly then why are we privatising?
Sue Winterburn, YorkI am a regular rail user. East Coast line works, returning money to the exchequer not shareholders.
Elaine Savage, SaltburnUnited Kingdom is the shame of Europe due to expensive transport.
Cecilia Iredale, HockleyThe fact the privatised rail companies collectively receive more in subsidies than British Rail ever did is sufficient reason alone to support this petition.
Ashley Sinani, LondonBring back British Rail.
Robin Harvey, Newcastle-upon-TyneMost efficient, profitable and customer-focussed TOC is East Coast, which is currently publicly owned.
Rich Brassett, SawbridgeworthAt present no improvement in service or train conditions but yearly prices increase.
Niall Mason, WhittonThe cost of commuting by train Is disproportionately more expensive in the UK than in the rest of Europe. It’s disgusting.
Kathleen Satterthwaite, YorkMay the force be with you.
Alasdair Lumsden, LondonYes, bring it back.
Debs Connors, WirralBring back everything British to the people as the shareholders have taken enough.
Alan Holmes, StaffordPeople need freedom to move.
Hereward Pooley, LondonWhen I was a student I commuted to South Sussex every weekend. This was affordable. Now it would not be.
Martin Mitchell, BradfordPrivatisation just means fat cats, whilst commuters suffer to get to work.
Jaxx Carter, WirralBring back British Rail for all.
John Longstaff, KnaresboroughThis always was the most stupid of the privatisations and if Christian Wolmar thinks it ought to be re-unified, that’s good enough for me.
Jane Millward, LeedsEast Coast should be left as it is.
Alan Masson, DunbarYet another delayed journey on a network unfit for purpose because it is run for private profit.
Simon Leavesley, LondonI remember the days when we had a wonderful national transport service, unlike today.
David Holt, ManchesterLabour force mobility enriches the economy, and depends on affordable transport. The railway re-nationalisation process, which is already under way, needs completing now.
Oliver Drew, BathBringing back British Rail from the privatised mess it is now and preserving the NHS are the two crucial duties of our generation.
Trevor Udberg, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe UK rail network services should be the best they can be, not for private profit but for the support they can give to the UK society and economy.
Patricia Gwynnette, RotherhamNot much chance of success considering the stance of HS2 and other moves to silence any protest.
Fiona Lennard, GlasgowI feel that a country as small as the UK should have a unified and properly-funded railway service under state control. Contrast French/German railways with ours.
Fred Torr, TruroIt couldn’t make it worse.
Jim Dignan, SheffieldPrivatisation produces profits for the privateers and their shareholders at the expense of service users and the community.
Andy Cope, LiverpoolA lot of our industries need re-nationalising, starting with rail.
Steve Burdekin, LondonThe current situation sees a monopoly and expensive fares whilst we still subsidise billions into the private sector when it should be going to the national purse.
Graham Ross, BoltonThis needs to happen to stop these companies bleeding money from the railways.
