John Powell, LondonDrop the greedy train companies.
Dominic Bridge, ManchesterLet’s Bring back British Rail and bring down fares.
Jim Harkson, LincolnshireThe people will it.
Kevin Rouse, LutonI fully support this petition.
Duncan Rose, ManchesterWe had something good going. Re-nationalise now.
Margaret Littlejohn, NewarkI have been disgusted with the poor running of trains in the UK with the exceptions of Virgin Trains, which the coalition want to change, and East Coast Line, which is public.
H Christine Allott, ExeterYou know it makes sense.
Chris Harris, LondonAfter re-nationalisation, at a national affordable price (one can hope?) begin electrical / magnetic renewable infrastructure.
Andy Fiore, WivenhoeWe need to get back public ownership of BR, with company bonuses back to the users.
Joe Boswell, BristolPlease do this. My Young Person’s Card is about to run out, and the fares are going to cripple my attempts to live without a car.
Philip Kingston, WokingI completely agree. Tickets are over-priced and service isn’t good.
Dave Robinson, Colwall, HerefordshireBR should never have been privatised! This was an error by stupid, greedy, ill informed tory politicians.
Elaine Armstrong, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe rail services have deteriorated enormously since privatisation and fares just go up and up. Privatisation equals bad service, full stop.
David Nicholson, DurhamAs a regular traveller to London to visit family, I have noticed the service is better under public ownership and in profit. This model should be applied to all railways.
Roger Howard, ManchesterIt’s a no-brainer.
Valerie Campbell, GosportTake away control from the people who have assumed too much control and give it back to the people who have earned it.
Tony Jones, ReadingI want the labour Party to put this in the general election manifesto and then, when elected, do it!
Samuel Hawthorne, RamsgateA great rail system was destroyed by privatisation.
Graham Henderson, BordonRail fares should be going back into the infrastructure and not to shareholders and the bosses of the multiple companies make up our railway.
William Grant, SurreyI don’t use the rail network since learning to drive but a national rail network/provider seems to make good financial sense as long as it is allowed to modernise.
Kim Rowling, Newton AycliffeMore people would use railways if they were more affordable.
Daniel Haynes, HalsteadRe-nationalising the railways will ultimately help the environment.
Jenni Dixon, BirminghamTrain fares are extortionate. It is ridiculous that it was cheaper for me and one friend to hire a car to go to Newcastle than to go on the train.
Lynda Woodroffe, LondonThe railways have got worse and worse and more and more expensive under privatisation. It should never have been put on the market.
Robin Carr, BirminghamSome things are better in public hands. British rail is one of them.
Richard Church, LondonGet rid of the fragmented, inefficient and unsafe privatised railway system.
Suman Joshi, LondonEast Coast Line. That is all.
Daniel Barron, GlasgowIt will be a good day in Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland when and if this happens. I am disgusted to see how much fares increase and service goes down.
Zack Kahn, LondonI resent the Conservatives handing over British Rail to their fat cat friends.
Erica Flint, EgremontI want the integrated functioning system we used to have, at affordable prices and employing porters, line gangs, cleaners etc. – all the jobs there used to be.
