Martin DawsonWe should begin making our own rolling stock again and create work and jobs
Brett Burnell, IpswichPrivatisation hasn’t worked.
Chris Newsam, MaltonYes, bring back railways into public ownership. If East Coast can do it then nationally we can.
Kieran Fitzsimons, Newcastle-upon-TyneRailways massively supported the war effort but were never adequately recognised or rewarded in the 20th century. They are a public service.
Jay Cannings, LewesThe East Coast line proves that public ownership results in better service than private profit-driven service. Government doesn’t want to hear this though.
Alexander Cruisey, BrightonMake it happen.
Peter Gearing, EdenbridgeI’m fed up with poor service and news that shareholders get paid huge dividends.
Hazel Marcks, CambridgeThe sad facts speak for themselves. I’m hoping that by signing this petition common sense will prevail.
Peter Jones, CambridgeFirst Capital Connect are always delayed and over-priced.
Alli Willmore, BrightonTravel – by the people, for the people who actually deserve to benefit.
Phil Hellawell, HuddersfieldI believe that the country is best served by a railway in which all taxpayers are effectively shareholders, rather than taxes being siphoned off by a minority.
Kerford Jones, HitchinThe sooner the better.
Shane Bradwell, ColchesterConstantly urged to use public transport, whilst it’s considerably cheaper to use the car. Rail fares are a disgrace.
James Nicolson, LondonInteresting that the route taken back by the state is the profitable one now.
Jeremy Evans, BrightonI love nationalised trains.
Emma Macbeth, OxfordI once tried to get a refund at Liverpool Street for a ticket I’d bought in Luton. That experience alone is enough to make me think this madness must end.
Margaret Lewis, LeicesterRailways are a public good and need to be part of an integrated transport system in public hands, necessary for our country.
Elizabeth Steenton, Craven ArmsWe need more trains. Where I live we are lucky if we get one train an hour. As for the train company they are really bad. British Rail is needed.
John Wilson, CambridgeshireWe used to have an easy to understand railway system with a sensible ticketing structure.
Robert Steel, CambridgeAll vital infrastructure and utilities should be nationally owned.
Derek Bibb, GlasgowI believe that it is very important to have a unified, not-for-profit railway sytem to provide travel at reasonable cost..
Sylvia Aldworth, NottinghamWe need a nationalised railway, not to support shareholders.
Andrew Rogers, ShropshireFranchised rail is ludicrous. Just look at the success of Germany’s DB rail to see that the UK needs to return to a unified railway system.
Louis Graves, StockportStupid and unfair prices. Bring Back British Rail.
Shane Selfe, ChippenhamIt wasn’t theirs to give away. We will get this back and everything else.
James Franks, Stoke GiffordAll privatisation results in the government subsidising private profit and ripping off the consumer.
Ian McCall, LlanidloesThe current service is expensive, unfriendly and wasteful.
Barrie Fairbairn, LeicesterUnified track, trains and maintenance, with simple clearly-defined profit centres – InterCity / HS/ Regional / Freight / Scotland – as immediately pre-privatisation.
Kim Elder, WindermereGood luck.
Ray Barker, LondonKeep infrastructure for the benefit of the people.
