Tim Gingell, LondonPrivatisation has never worked, and is expensive for the rail user, as well as being stupidly over-complicated
David Yewdall, BlackpoolRe-nationalise the railway and get rid of the gangsters who run it for their shareholders. Let’s get DB to run it. After all that is the German government, not shareholders.
Jeff Zie, DorkingI’m sick of seeing profiteering from our infrastructure.
Adam Lewins, DoncasterBring it back as soon as possible.
Matt Day, SussexAlways late, no seats, ludicrously expensive and all about profit.
Thomas Marshall, ChelmsfordI am sick of greedy rail bosses charging far too much for a service which is very often not on time or cancelled entirely. I am very tired of seeing inflated prices.
Doreen McCarthy, GatesheadI agree with what has already been said.
Conor Foggo, AmbleI feel that this would be a chance to rebuild our rail network with the backing of the public. This would make the train a viable and affordable option for everyone.
Christopher Wilson-Cooch, PrestonIf we live in a free country, how is it that many people cannot afford to get from one end of it to the other? The free market has failed and it’s time to re-nationalise.
Max Dutton, ManchesterThe nation that gave the world railways deserves far better than this. We need someone caring about the service they provide not someone’s profits. BBBR.
Calum Wade, TodmordenBritish Railways is the only way to go, it will help bring prices down and trains will be on time for once.
Arthur Shaw, BromleyGreedy bastards.
Rhodri Williams, SwanseaI use trains to travel from home (Swansea) to university (Hull). It would be so much cheaper, easier and more straightforward under a nationalised system.
Mark Turnock, LondonBring back British Rail, accept that privatisation is a failure and let’s start to rebuild for the future!
Richard Weir, LeedsThe model set by East Coast line looks good to me.
Barrie Fairbairn, LeicesterUnified track, trains and maintenance, with simple clearly-defined profit centres – InterCity / HS/ Regional / Freight / Scotland – as immediately pre-privatisation.
Jacqui Lovell, Stockton-on-TeesI completely agree with this campaign. We should never have privatised what was originally a public service, as European companies are profiting instead of us.
Jamie Sims, DerbyRe-nationalise the rail system.
David Preece, Bishop’s FromeThe success of East Coast line in public ownership speaks for itself.
Paul Lockett, BristolBring back passenger care. If we had invested this much money in BR we would have had a world leading railway, not the fragmented one we have now.
Karen Blakeley, ManchesterLet’s bring back the golden days of British Rail.
Antonios Bakouris, BrightonI have been commuting to work to London for 18 years. The train service is getting more expensive and worse to an unacceptable level.
Catriona Grindley, Roy BridgePublic transport should belong to the public.
Philip Rossiter, EastbournePeople before profit.
Jamie Mascall, ConingsbyI’m signing this petition because I want them to bring British Rail back, because it was such an amazing railway company and I think it should be brought back to life.
Andy Pierce, WrexhamStop letting foreign companies rip us off.
Duncan Jones, SmethwickIt needs to be affordable and effectively regulated.
Rosemary Chaffer, DurhamIt’s been long enough to prove that privatisation does not work better.
Tony Acton, LondonThatcher’s legacy is destroying the little that’s left of public Britain.
Bryon Bache, CambridgeA brilliant idea – all strength to your arm. Our railways are a disaster.
