Robert Holland, NottinghamA unified network has to make sense.
Roberta Gamble, ShrewsburyFares have increased out of proportion to wages or the cost of living.
Chris Yates, NorthwichThis needs to happen. What is the use of a train that is less than half-filled to capacity when you charge through the nose? Give British Rail back to the people.
Michael Lotinga, BristolFinally, a group has the courage to say what many are thinking.
James de Kock, LondonI am sick of paying more and more money, only to have the quality continuously deteriorate so drastically.
John Patrick Connolly, Saltburn by the SeaThe best rail service in the UK is the East Coast line, and that’s state-run.
Naomi Bowen, BanburyAll my formative years from age 11 to age 18 were spent travelling smoothly to school daily via British Rail so naturally I’m in favour of this petition.
Huw Spanner, HarrowBritain deserves a top-class, publicly-owned railway like France.
Charles Andrew Rose, LondonActually, I have lived in Norway for 37 years and the railways here are still (almost entirely) publicly owned and are very good.
Caroline Pickering, NorthallertonThe success of the East Coast Line clearly demonstrates how much better the railways are in public ownership.
Mike Fowler, PeterboroughBR was sold for Tory profit. Taxpayers were robbed of their investment. It’s time to take it back.
Dick Norton, CuparPublic service should not be in private hands.
Cary Elcome, LeicesterPut an end to soaring fares, delays, cancellations, overcrowding. Give us reliable, human transport, not cattle trucking!
Emma Yexley, HertfordWe need to realise how far behind other western countries we are with this service.
Liam Browne, NorthamptonI know it’ll never happen but we can but try.
Amanda Law, TwyfordRail travel should be cheaper than using the car, to encourage people to use the train instead. That’s why I support this campaign.
Christopher Davidson, BoltonEnd the shocking rip-off of modern train travel and the total lack of value for money.
Pablo Rees, SwanseaOne operator would make it easier when you require assistance. Wheelchair spaces vary in size on different operators.
Ken Cole, NorwichThere is no argument against nationalisation.
Patricia Burn, ManchesterRail profits back to the people.
Vincent Brierley, PeterboroughGo back to running trains at cost not for profit.
Lewis East, SwindonBritish Rail was simply awesome, there were no other words to say about it beside that.
Peter Smith, Downham MarketRail should be a public service, not a cash cow for shareholders and bosses. Profits should be reinvested in better provision for customers.
Peter Dornan, LondonRe-nationalise and take the train network out of the hands of the robbers.
Terry McKeown, LeedsIt should be a Labour manifesto pledge.
Reece Watren, SheffieldIt’s horrible to be sat on a 142.
Pete Fox, BrightonPlease bring back British Rail.
Martin Siedek, LondonI travel every day using Southern. They have been making my travel a misery for the last year and it’s getting worse by the day. It’s outrageous what they make people go through.
Leon Maurice-Jones, LondonIt should never have been stolen from us in the first place.
Mark Bebbington, BuryWe subsidise the private companies when they make a loss and they keep the money if they make a profit. Why would we not re-nationalise?
