Come on, let’s join the Spirit of ’45.

Take the railways back from the greedy corporates who profit while we suffer every day.

Re-nationalise BR and whilst you are at it, do the same for the utilities companies.

Access to decent affordable transport for all will contribute towards levelling inequality and support collaboration, productivity and a growing economy.

Why is it considered reasonable for a private train company with a monopoly to fleece its customers in order to fund investment to its infrastructure?

You know it’s the right thing to do. People not profit. Let us be proud of something as important and vital as our rail network.

End this madness! Make train prices fair.

Britain deserves better than the total shambles that privatisation was always going to be. Money for fat cats doesn’t provide a decent railway.

It couldn’t be worse than it is now. Where are the bigger trains we were promised 30 years ago? It’s still horrible on our line.

Please check your records as I may have already signed this petition.

Living in Brighton, I have seen first-hand how ridiculously terrible and increasingly expensive beyond belief the rail networks have got in Britain.

Bring back British Rail.

May it be.

It’s time to stop the train operating companies running the rail network into the ground.

Subsidise public transport, tax fuel.

I agree 100%. Public services, not profits.

I’m tired of seeing money wasted on pointless franchising and the commercial marooning of services off the core network, like East Anglia.

Trains are always late and stupidly expensive. This has to change.

Re-instate simple fare structures, with one price wherever you buy. The thought of a public service run for the public should not be a revolutionary concept.

Money is being wasted paying dividends to shareholders rather than being invested in the infrastructure.

Aside from GNER, Anglia Railways and Chiltern, privatisation has done nothing for the discerning passenger.

Quasi-competition has driven subsidy to unheard of heights and reduced efficiency. A single, publicly-owned and -operated railway is the best way forward.

Railways should be run for public benefit rather than private profit. The current fragmented and micro-managed network can never achieve this, and needs re-integration.

I’m speechless with anger.

Hiking prices up is wrong and especially in view of the fiasco at Kings Cross Station this year. What a mess.

Privatisation of the railways has been a disaster. Bring back British Rail!

Better a public than a private monopoly.

We need a nationalised rail service back for the good of the country.

I believe that all utilities should be in public ownership and not run for the profit of shareholders, other than the British public

The fiasco over the West Coast line says it all.
