Dennis Lane, MiddlesbroughNot tomorrow – now.
Annie Mulholland, Bradford-on-AvonBritish Rail was so much better than what we have now. Bring it back.
Michael Poole, GreenfordWe need a properly-run and cost-effective railway system and stop putting millions into corporate pockets.
Albert E C Hemmings, SalisburyStop privatising everything. There is more to life than trying to make profits as the only priority. What about providing decent public services?.
Jane Canning, LiverpoolWe need a re-vitalisation of clause 4. Privatisation is theft.
Linda Edmonds, SheffieldStart by retaining the wonderful East Coast line which is a delight to experience.
Olivia Sykes, HuddersfieldI’m honoured to sign.
Paul Bathgate, LondonEast Coast has proved the madness that is privatisation. It has made an operating profit and hasn’t needed any subsidy.
Alwyne Richards-Ellis, LutonIt’s the only way to improve rail transport and get an integrated network.
Kevin McGrath, Great YarmouthI’m an ex-BR permanent way worker, back in the days when we knew every inch of the track in our area.
Richard Jowett, BradfordI am sick of the private railways being a mechanism to transfer money from taxpayers to shareholders.
Scott Rundle, OxfordBring back a national rail system. Privatisation hasn’t worked.
Tim Miles, LondonIt’s an essential public service.
Tom Voute, PurleyPrivatising the railway system was a very expensive mistake, only done for ideological reasons.
Shirley Coupe, NorwichWhy not re-nationalise, take more people off benefits to work in the Industry to, once again, give good customer service, instead of demoralising them with unemployment.
Penny Jones, PembrokeshireTrains are the best.
Ian Johnstone, GranthamThe only one that makes a real profit is the East Coast line that is publicly owned, a prime example of how it can work.
Clive Mitchell, BridgendIt is chaos and passengers are being ripped off left, right and centre.
Jim Aird, EdinburghBR should not have been privatised in the first place.
Bill Murphy, YorkThe Government should be running the rail lines, not the shareholders.
Garry Carpenter, WokingLet the train take the strain.
Andrew Wetherall, Ashford, MiddlesexSet train fares at pence per mile. National railcard will bring a third off the price of the journey.
Gillian Anson, LetchworthI remember the days of British Rail and would like to see them return.
Roy Little, LeicesterPrivatisation has led to poor service and is too expensive. It’s become all about profit for the few.
Mike Norris, AlnmouthEast Coast have shown the way. Public sector can do it profitably.
Garry Pease, FinzeanJust let’s have it back. The trains were great.
Doug Bate, EssexI remember the old BR which was a lot better than the service we have now, as it’s very confusing (different tickets etc.) trains are late and more expensive.
Graham Sharman, PeterboroughBritish Rail was using no subsidy when privatised. Now we have a company with a massive subsidy.
Justin Sargeant, CambridgeI’d like to see an affordable service that works. Right now it is a poor service and greatly overpriced.
Philip De Lacy White, North CaveBritish trains are probably the most expensive and complicated to use in all Europe. Prices vary according to how you go about buying a ticket. It is so complicated.
