Paul Lydiate, LondonThe privatised network is a far bigger drain on the public purse than British Rail ever was. The privatised network makes no economic sense.
Sharron Tootell, PenworthamStop subsidising train operating companies and invest in an integrated rail system, not this disjointed farce.
Hugh Mulcahy, LondonWe need services run for and by the people.
Bill Murray, Fair IsleI think governments bail out privatised rail companies so I think they should be run as a nationalised industry.
Lynn Cotton, DurhamPlease nationalise the railways. Privatisation has not worked. I want our railways back in public ownership and accountable to the taxpayer.
Sandra Knight, EdinburghKeep British Rail publicly owned.
William Reynolds, HounslowThe railways should be run for the benefit of the nation, not for private profit.
Malcolm Davison, GatesheadAn eminently sensible idea. The whole privatisation thing has been a fiasco.
Thomas Hallam, LondonI do want Britain’s Railway back into our hands.
Martin Forster, WashingtonWhat doesn’t work doesn’t work no matter how we might will or wish it too.
David Jones, WidnesHappy to join the petition. The service at present for passengers is not good enough and prices are too high for the poor quality service.
Robert Allender, SwanseaYes, I support re-nationalisation.
Tim Lewes Gibbon, LondonThis is a complex infrastructure which needs holistic management.
Darren Nutting, WrenthorpeLet’s make Britain a success again.
Michael David Jewett, HarrogateI feel privatisation has failed big time.
Kathryn Proudlock, Newcastle-upon-TynePrivatisation was a big mistake.
Paul Brookes, WalsallNot for profit.
James Leigh, StrathalbynBring back British Railways! Too many public services have been privatised.
Joseph Till, LondonThere would be less of a north/south divide if people could afford to visit other areas in the UK. It will benefit all communities across the nation.
Michael Johnston, NorthamptonStop privatising as it doesn’t work.
John Myers, RedcarIt’s my railway. It was stolen from me and I want it back.
Philip Wallace, SwindonI would like to see the rail system under public ownership, with a promise of constant investment, and not left to run down.
Malcolm Smith, LondonIt’s outrageous the price I have to pay a month just to get to work. Every year it gets more and more expensive and the service gets worse.
Charles Hemingway, BarnsleyBritish Rail should never have been stolen from us in the first place. Lousy Tories.
Naomi Standen, BirminghamYes. Simpler ticketing, pricing that pays fair wages not shareholders. State investment for everyone’s benefit, not to pay fat cat bosses’ salaries.
John Taylor, GuisboroughReturn to an affordable way of travel.
Neil Sheehan, MerseysideWe need a railway system to be proud of, which can once again become the envy of the world!
Sue Horne, BrightonSimplify fares and concentrate on running reliable trains.
Lesley Mais, LeedsFor too long we have trusted private companies to improve essential services, and instead we are seeing few improvements but ever-increasing bills.
Nick Shepley, CardiffRail is a natural monopoly and therefore all arguments in favour of marketisation are a complete nonsense.
