We must get people to join together for this extremely worthy cause.

Malcolm Clayton

I’m tired of lies. Let’s get back to delivering a service.

Neville Bruce,

A reliable railway network should connect people in local towns and villages so they longer need expensive petrol driven cars.

Paul Bright

Why should people who cannot afford to get on a train pay for those who also cannot afford to get on a train? If anything, our rail infrastructure should be non-profit.

Shane Ward, Leyton

Bring back the rail industry into public ownership.

Chris Frost, London

The awful privatised railways are ours. Please give them back to us.

David White, Hull

Let the franchises expire and let’s see how much better the taxpayer can run them than FCC or Virgin or any other.

Ewald Schroder, Croydon

Obeying a European directive was one reason given for separating trains from track. If all the train operating companies were nationalised the directive could still be fulfilled.

John Meredith, Derby

Let us try to recover from the privatisation disaster of John Major’s government.

Ron Green, Broom

I’m fed up with tickets not allowing you on certain trains. It happens too often to us. We don’t want money-grabbing shareholders taking the profits. Plough it back into travel.

Lesley Homer, Dunstable

All public transport should be publicly owned.

Steven Gregory, Sheffield

A new British Rail should reinstate that proud public service ethos by giving passengers and employees more control over how it’s run.

Ellie Harrison, Glasgow

Privatisation has done absolutely nothing for rail passengers, other than constantly increase fares.

Amanda Hunter, Grange-over-Sands

Privatisation of so much in the UK is destroying this country.

Karen Orosky, Bedford

The privateers have had their chance and shown us what they do with a ‘small state’. It’s time to take our country back.

Richard Lane, York

Bring back British Rail, better trains, no over-crowding, better fare structure, more carriages to clear standing room.

Forbes Watson, East Kilbride

We need a national rail system which has the needs of passengers at heart rather than those of shareholders.

Marion Wallwork, Nottingham

Let’s have a service run for the benefit of travellers and employees, not shareholders.

Anne Amison, Brixham

Privatisation is unstable and has cost the tax payer millions more than they should be paying and has created a poorer service. It is time to reverse the errors.

Simon Best, Leeds

British Railways ran an excellent, reliable train service. These private companies are useless. It’s typical Tory policy to mess everything up. BBBR.

Myleene Klass, London

Give us back a harmonised, not for profit transportation system that is both punctual, safe and reliable. Public ownership driven by private sector values.

Mark Charlwood, Liphook

Tories out. Re-nationalise the power companies too.

Stephen Millard, South Shields

Please nationalise our railways as the industry is in tatters currently

Joanna Heap, Derby

I want British Rail back.

Jack Smith, Totnes

Public services are public assets.

David Fearnhead, Nottingham

All public services should be in public hands, Transport, Utilities, Healthcare and the Postal service.

Andrew Kaye, Leeds

The fare prices for trains to and from my loved ones’ homes is completely unjust and simply a profiteering scheme that rips off the little guy. Disgusting.

Jack Coley, Bristol

I’ve already signed a petition about this but hope this one counts as well. I hope the petition succeeds.

Nancy Beattie, Telford

Return railways into public hands, so that profits can be returned to the railways to improve services rather than the money going to shareholders.

Allen Teare, Bishop Auckland

It’s time the rail service was returned to the people of Britain so that the profits can be used to improve the quality of the service. Privatisation doesn’t work.

Nicola Bowden-Jones, Bristol
