Sutharsan Raju, BedfordBring back the British railway.
J Miller, BerkhamstedWhy can’t we all have a service as good as the nationally-owned East Coast line?
Teresa Claxton, ChesterfieldBring back before it’s too late.
Gregor McHugh, SheffieldVote Green.
Fiona Maclennan, DunfermlineBetter train transport is vital to cut emissions and pollution and improve accessibility for people outside cities. Profits should be re-invested to develop a bigger network.
Bruce Rose, Haywards HeathBring it on – if every commuter in the Southeast signed this then the government would have to listen.
Chris Bourne, NottinghamIt’s about time we could book tickets on the day without having to pay stupid money compared with having planned a journey 5 weeks in advance.
Jane Evans, Newcastle-upon-TyneEast Coast have run the London-Newcastle-Edinburgh-Aberdeen line very effectively since it was handed back after the second of two failures by private companies.
Alireza Afshari, LondonBritish Rail wasn’t perfect, but things are much much worse now, franchises’ incompetence is tolerated at tax-payers’ expense, meanwhile the fat cats get fatter.
Vince Hayes, BedfordIf state railways are viable as a solid, excellent business then I support this campaign – But the old British Rail did not achieve that.
Carol Jardine, EdinburghTravel by rail has now become too expensive for many people on lower incomes. We now look enviously at other countries’ rail systems that appear to serve the people.
Susan Hathaway, MorpethOh for the days of simple ticketing and onward journeys, and local trains waited for connecting services, and timetables that didn’t have wiggle room.
David Bonner, HarrowTwenty years of private incompetence. It’s time to re-nationalise.
Jean Mertzanakis, LeedsIf BR reduces prices and doesn’t make me sit on my luggage from Leeds to London I might use trains again rather than National Express buses.
Paul Taylor, MatlockThe current system is the chaotic and dysfunctional result of the disastrous selling of public assets and needs to be brought back into the modern public realm. Good Luck.
David Solomons, SaleThe privatisation was a mistake in the first place. Railways are for people, not investors.
Jean Goodacre, LeedsWhy are the Conservatives always selling the most valued things that make money in public hands. Their mates must love this. We have a solvent railway in the east.
Lesley Tompkins, LeedsWe need a railway system run for passengers, not for profit. Also run for environmental reasons.
Susan Gratwick, LondonA majority vote would decide in favour of re-nationalisation and this is a democracy. It is logical to re-nationalise.
Jean-Michel Legg, ShaftesburyCorporate profit-motive plus light-touch spineless regulation spells raw deal for consumers. Who knew?
Leslie Crawford, LiverpoolBritish Rail was always a more efficient, safer rail system when nationalised.
Margaret Walters, HalifaxTime we had BR back. In fact, time we had all utilities back.
David Merry, BedfordOwnership of the railways should never have been taken away from the people to line the pockets of state-funded fat cats.
Simon Coll, OakhamWhy is handing our public services and utilities to the nationalised companies of other countries better than running them in the UK public sector?
David Wilton, BathI have to endure the poor service and high prices of GWR, formerly First Great Western every week. Bring back British Rail.
Malcolm Martyn, ShrewsburyBuy back all that the Tories have privatised and, in no time at all, you will see costs and pricing come down considerably.
Daniel Romberg, NorthamptonThe car is out-dated and a city planning nightmare. The government should encourage people to use sustainable, environmentally-friendly modes of transport like the trains.
Dugald Cameron, GlasgowGet rid of the spivs and shysters from our railway.
Anthony Frewin, St AlbansPrivatisation of the railways was ideology triumphing over common sense.
