Jim Gibbs, SheffieldIt seems like common sense to run a transport service for people rather than profit.
Olivia Sykes, HuddersfieldI’m honoured to sign.
William Tyler, Hebden BridgeThis is next to an outrage.
Neil Cameron-Rollo, ClareThe current set-up is a farce, over-priced, difficult to use and set up only for the benefit of the shareholders.
William Edmonds, HuddersfieldPrivatisation was a disaster. All it brought was private profit with the public paying more. Electricity should be re-nationalised too.
Julian Kaye, LutonWe need a unified rail network with through-ticketing, instead of third party skimming.
Helle Kristjansen, LondonA transport system is essential for our society, not for investors to make a profit. No-one should make profit on something which is a key to how we exist.
Jennifer Perry, SheffieldFor profit is not good for the public. The public need transport.
Kyle Perkins, TotnesAs a person who frequents public transport for personal and business reasons, I’m appalled at the high prices, bad conditions and shoddy policies.
John Ross, EdinburghThe governments of this country, in the space of 50 odd years, have managed to undo so much of our technical advancement, we will soon be back in the dark ages.
Lewys Hall, NottinghamPrivatisation has been a total mess, providing a second class service and extortionate fares.
Angela Woolhouse, St. AustellPrivatised rail has got out of hand, when it cost more to take a rail journey than to fly to another country.
Michael Mccarthy, LondonPrivatisation has failed and is a rip-off, just as many of us said when this misbegotten scheme to enrich investors was hatched.
Hazel Burns, Dunham-on-TrentStop privatisation and serve the people. They pay enough tax.
Kitty Schofield, StockportThe rail network should be run on a not-for-profit basis for the benefit of all. There is too much money being made by private companies out of something that’s a necessity.
Christopher Dickson, LondonThe train fare is ridiculous. And how come you have to pay for wi-fi when on MegaBus it’s free?
Stephen Cresswell, LiverpoolRe-nationalisation is well overdue because privatisation is not in the travellers’ interest.
Trevor Wise, UppinghamPublic services are services to the public not for private profit.
Peter Mullen, ManchesterHave some courage and re-nationalise the railways instead of behaving like a plastic Tory.
Matthew Nation, BirminghamTrains should be simple and affordable. They are currently complicated and unfairly priced.
Rosemary Marriott, SheffieldI believe railways should be run as a public service, with affordable ticket prices, and not for private profit.
Michael Bodycomb, CambridgeIt’s just so blindingly obvious isn’t it?
Vic Hall, BalderonThe East Coast Main Line is both clean and comfortable. The fares are competitive, the service is first class. If that was spread over other lines it would be marvellous.
William McGiven, DerbyA service paid for by us and we also get to vote for the government to manage our rail service.
John Taylor, IlkestonServices for people, not profits. No super railway – upgrade the existing one.
Diane Moore, HarrowAs a pensioner, money is tight. It would be brilliant to be able to travel to see my son and grandsons at an affordable price.
Peter Frampton, ManchesterCurrent TOCs are incompetent.
Graham Cook, ScunthorpeI love travelling by rail but I’m afraid that soon me and the family will be priced off the railway.
Martin Rayment, LoughboroughI’m sick of paying a ridiculous amount just to travel. I pay taxes and I feel absolutely robbed every time I’m forced to take the train,
Benjamin Ross, Welwyn Garden CityThis is needed. Our railways are just a joke now.
