Clare Owen, NottinghamPrivatisation has failed customers wherever it has been allowed to take place, and it seems employees too. Allow us a National Rail network to be proud of.

Jiri Malina, LondonDo it as soon as possible.
Daniel Holt, ClimpingLet the people make the decisions!
David Carr, TadleyI hope you are successful with your petition.

Mohammed Zulkernain, SloughBring back British Rail, when open return tickets were the norm.

Aj Dehany, LondonWe pay far more in subsidies than we would if we just owned the railways. The service is disconnected and prohibitively expensive.
Nicholas Darsley, LondonThe rail system should be for the benefit of travellers, not for private profit.
Thomas John Wheeler, DyfedThe rolling stock leasing companies swallow up a hundred thousand pounds a year for each and every train – that money goes straight down the drain.
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?.
Grace Ellen, WhitstableRe-nationalise with no compensation.
Dennis Warwick, Burley-in-WharfedaleI am a former porter on BR in 1949-50. I would like the railways back in public ownership.

Yvette De Sylva, LeicesterStop charging inflated prices for rail journeys and profiting from rail travellers.
Rikki Ferguson, LondonNaked profiteering for private owners at the expense of rail travellers is wrong.
