Kevin Gori, Saffron WaldenOwnership.
Stephen Goodfellow, BradfordEast Coast RIP.
Jack Palfrey, OxfordChiltern Railways have proved how it makes sense to own the track you operate on.
Arthur Bond, FromeIt cannot come soon enough. Unfortunately with the Tories what I call ‘idiotology’ prevents common sense from prevailing.
Susan Cole, North ShieldsIt should never have been sold off and has never been successful. Bring back to public ownership and start the freight and post going by rail again.
Jim Aird, EdinburghBR should not have been privatised in the first place.
Derek Staton, Crouch EndWe have the most expensive and crowded system in Europe. It’s unfair and only benefits the shareholders who abdicate responsibility when there are problems.
Oliver Otway, SudburyRe-nationalise the power companies while you are at it, so they can’t blackmail you with power cut threats.
Steven Partington, BoltonMay it be.
Christina Upton, BeverleyLet’s have a national co-ordinated service with sensible pricing.
Richard Hart, BromleyRailways are a service and not for private profit.
Brian Racher, West SussexThe current franchise setup is a national disgrace, designed to generate maximum profit from poorly served passengers.
Patricia Steeden, WatfordThe franchising and ticketing for privatised railways is ridiculous. Bring back British Rail which my father worked for many years.
Jamie Spilsbury, MerseysidePrivatisation has taken its toll on the whole railway system in Britain, turning it into a complete mess, not to mention train fares going up year after year.
Josh Welby, LondonBring back British Rail. Now With Investment and reopening closed lines.
Ian Munro, Tilston,Integrated rail planning is crucial to our country, passengers, freight and tourists. Why can’t we emulate Germany, France and Japan?
Joan Darling, Newcastle-upon-TyneProfits should go to improvements not to shareholders.
James Greenhalgh, HuddersfieldGood luck to the campaign.
Debbie Goldsmith,I commute weekly to University and if I wasn’t lucky enough to have a sponsor how would I afford it? Transport is a necessity for all, not a luxury.
Stuart Elms, WorthingCertain things in our society are done best where the ethos of ‘public service’ is paramount, not first making profit so we need to think back to the British Rail of late 80’s.
Eric Hill, SheffieldWe have enough pigs with their snouts in the troughs. Keep this line for the people.
Gwyn Davies, Wrexham.British Rail should be nationalised as should more of Britain’s privatised industries.
Douglas McCoy, HoltThe sale and consequent shambles that privatisation has left are testament to the folly of allowing political ideology to dictate transport policy. Bring back BR.
Marc Seccombe, DoncasterIf it can be as good as East Coast.
Guy Harris, WindsorBring back British Rail.
Chris Straiton, BrightonPlease return the profits back into the railways and not the pockets of others.
Maggie Gallimore, NottinghamJust give it back, please.
Duncan Stone, Hebden BridgeBring it back.
Tosh Owen, LeedsWhere is the evidence that private rail companies work better than public? As with many of these projects, it is driven by political and business leaders’ interests.
Tallon Avery, ColchesterKeep this petition going. Privatisation has ruined the railways because then the profits go to shareholders not back into the system.
