Sue Winterburn, YorkI am a regular rail user. East Coast line works, returning money to the exchequer not shareholders.
John Howard, Hemel HempsteadJust another competition mess handed to speculating shareholders to make money at the expense of the commuting populace. Re-nationalise. Re-investment.
Sara Ross, Los AngelesYet another plan to privatise (piratise) for corporate profit.
Felicity Whyte, Shoreham by SeaGot to be less rubbish.
Sarah Dignan, PrestonIt must make more sense to have one railway system run for the public good – transporting people for leisure and work is something for the government to be proud of.
John Carrington, LiverpoolEast Coast is the best example of why it should be brought back.
Llio DaviesPrivatisation of public transport is criminal and should never have happened.
Tim Payne, PlymouthI would love to take my family to London by train to see the sights but its too expensive for us to use.
Ethan Lane, KilmingtonBring back British Rail. Privatisation has been a disaster.
Mark Halden, St AlbansRegular commuters need a break. Rail fares are overpriced, the most expensive in Europe. Rolling stock is old. Not enough space on trains. Bring back British Rail.
Ben Hall, Haywards HeathI live a 50 minute train ride from London. I will never work there. Could never afford the season ticket.
Bill McIntosh, SloughThe time has come to end this greed of privatisation of our railways. Nationalisation will guarantee a price affordable for all, no more ludicrous price hikes.
Andrew Morrison, SheffieldThe most expensive rail network in Europe by far. Enough is enough. It’s time to take it back off the ‘fat cats’.
LorenzoOne island, one rail operator and a simple ticketing policy. Not a lot to ask for.
Max Hutchinson, ManchesterNorthern Rail are a disgrace.
Frank Lerner, LondonThe nation’s infrastructure must belong to the people.
Anthony Moule, KnebworthI’m sick to death of being ripped off to pay shareholders.
Dawne Gardner, NottinghamStop the stupid new lines that save 20 mins and rebuild the ones closed by Beeching. We need East to West connections.
Kristian Berry, YorkAbout time.
Steven EvansFares keep rising, there are fewer trains and the ones that do turn up have shorter coaches which are not keeping up with the demand of more passengers.
Bill Hobson, MordenDo away with private regional rail networks.
Karanjit Juss, BirminghamI currently work for Network Rail.
Pamela Morris, LeedsI’m fully supportive, but not much time.
Adrian Britton, BristolJust bring back British Rail and re-nationalise the railways.
Jacqueline Rattray, LondonPrivatisation has been shown to not work. Taxpayers are paying three times what they would if the railways were nationalised. Performance is down and fares are up.
Bill Murphy, YorkThe Government should be running the rail lines, not the shareholders.
Richard Lowe, IlkleyEast Coast have demonstrated that railways can work in public ownership, given a fair chance.
John Jones, BreconI cannot understand why there are only circa 26,000 signatures given the massive support for this campaign.
Catherine Vickery, Market HarboroughPrivatisation was the easy way out for Margaret Thatcher – along with selling off council houses. Then energy. Now we are owned by multi-nationals. Give back our transport.
Courtenay TurnerTransport, like healthcare and education, is something all our people require to succeed in life. Privatisation has disadvantaged certain regions for too long now.
