JamesI support you fully against this greed and want the link broken between private corporations and ministerial back-scratching.
Edward WashingtonPlease check your records as I may have already signed this petition.
Peter Jones, CambridgeFirst Capital Connect are always delayed and over-priced.
Spencer Preece, HerefordStop the rip-off!
Alf Fisher, PottonOver the years, the government has sold off utility companies as well as British Railways, and, in my opinion, they were not theirs to sell.
Kelvin Hanratty, SalfordPlease bring it back to the people for the people, rather than for private profit. It’s not worked and never will work. We demand redress and an affordable price structure.
June Finnie, GlasgowAdmit defeat and put it back together.
James Cotgrave, BirminghamRail transport should never be run for private profit. Re-nationalise the whole rail network and its infrastructure now!
Chris Romberg, ShrewsburyBritain needs a unified rail network that serves everybody, not a fragmented, inefficient and over-priced system serving its rich owners and self-interested politicians.
Oliver Drew, BathBringing back British Rail from the privatised mess it is now and preserving the NHS are the two crucial duties of our generation.
Lesley Perrin, DevonIt should never have been sold off in the first place. No consultation and given away for pennies.
Gail Richard, BracknellUsing trains often lets my wheelchair-user husband down, with rudeness from staff and lack of space. The expense of using trains cannot compete with using a car.
Kathleen White, EdinburghPlease provide affordable, decent transport for the public. Transport should not be for shareholders’ profit.
Aj Cross, LondonOnly a unified service can provide what we need. The current state of the railways is madness. More use of freight trains can free up our roads and cut costs too.
Sarah Dewing, EpsomPeople before profit’ says it all. Rail network is crucial for the nation on so many different levels. We can’t leave it up to companies whose only concern is the bottom line.
Paul Gibson, LondonAs a railway worker I want the railway nationalised.
David Holt, ManchesterLabour force mobility enriches the economy, and depends on affordable transport. The railway re-nationalisation process, which is already under way, needs completing now.
Malcolm Stacey, NottinghamEast Coast Trains shows how it can be done.
Jason Pickering, StranraerI have fond memories of British Rail in the early 1980’s when my mother used to take me to London on days out. We used to travel from Bristol to London.
Donald Walshe, LondonEnd the highest fares in Europe, with, at best, patchy standards of service.
John Mitchell, SeafordAs a commuter into London every day, very soon I will find that I cannot afford to go to work, especially when I am not freelance.
John Mangan, NorwichEvery privatisation has been a disaster. Beeching was in the pocket of the road hauliers. Bring back our rail networks in state hands.
Frances Jones, PerthshirePrivate companies take profit and run down quality. Nothing has ever been as good as British Rail.
John McIntosh, ThornhillNothing taken out of public ownership is an improvement. All they are interested in are profits for shareholders. The only losers are the consumers.
John Garratt, PenzanceBritain needs a cohesive railway network run efficiently for the benefit of all, not the profit before service shambles we have now. Bring back British Rail.
Christopher Highton, RochdaleThe figures quoted don’t surprise me at all. It wouldn’t surprise me if we had to privatise the industries we have because of Brussels.
Derek Lawther, CardiffWe need to take back into public ownership those businesses and industries which have been sold off by the Tories.
Max Morgan-Lucas, DissI want a cheaper and more reliable service. Bring British Rail back!
Rina M, DumfriesTrains only for a minority than can afford it? You’re missing the trick here, and the future (shouting for sustainability) is leaving you behind already!
