David Singleton, DurhamDrop HS2 plans.
Andrew Cremin, Merthyr TydfilThe railways should be owned by the public, charging low price rail fares, owned by us, for the people, by the people.
Linda Padgett, HalifaxThese railway networks must belong to the Nation to serve our people without damaging the countryside but modernised for the future.
Ruth Chamberlain, ThirskThe system is confusing and fragmented and expensive. Let us have a rail system that the UK can be proud of.
Mary Andrews, PortsmouthTo travel by rail is too expensive. Some corporation is getting richer off the backs of people who need to travel by rail. It has got to stop and the railways given back.
Bob Atwell, KillingworthWe have sold everything off. Let’s try and get something back.
Frank Belsey, EnfieldIf the railways are a loss-making industry, why are there big payouts to shareholders? Where does that money come from?
Veronica Piekosz, NorthallertonIt works for East Coast, don’t you know? The only network to actually pay back and now they want to re-privatise it.
Elvina Wilson, BrentwoodI totally support this petition.
Robert Mills, NewburyAs a former rail worker I don’t believe privatisation works. Railways should be a service not a business
Robert Sellers, LondonThe government privatised the profit and nationalised the debt.
Frances McGinlay, LargsJust bring it back.
Peter Long, BristolPublic transport should be a National Service, to serve the needs of the people. Privatisation has failed the people.
June Carcsry-Stuart, EdinburghRe-nationalise our train service.
Jean Meek, NottinghamGive us our railways back.
Graham Sessions, CullomptonRail travel should be unified, convenient, affordable, synchronized and fares standardised.
Glen Postle, Toowoomba, AustraliaI first visited UK in 1974 when British Rail were still operating. Any similarities between service and comfort then and now are non-existent.
Delma Stimpson, WakefieldWhen something is so successful we should be happy and support those who have worked so hard to continue doing so for everyone’s benefit, not only shareholders.
Eliot Humphreys, WrexhamThere is no advantage for the public for the service to remain as profitable and as almost uselessly negligent as it actually is. Paying high for substandard everything.
Simon Wood, Bath25 years ago you didn’t feel like you’d arrived in a developing country when you used the UK rail system after having travelled by train in France or Germany.
DarrenGood luck with your campaign!
Jonathan Edwards, StroudIt’s time for change. Re-nationalisation is the only way.
James Jackson, BrightonI’m sick of this investing in better trains, when every time I return from abroad, Southern say “the train from Y to X is delayed.”
Nigel Street, EmsworthSouthern Railway demonstrates exactly why we should 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.
Alexander Culley, LondonEnd the railway rip-off, joke fare increases and disgracefully inept service of the franchises. We want a service like DB in Germany.
Owain Glyndwr, HaverfordwestLike all privatisation, the railways are now in a complete mess. More public subsidies than BR ever saw and the service is diabolical.
Martin Le Fevre, BelfordRail is a necessary service not a profit machine for capitalists.
Adam Tong, KidderminsterMonopolies are illegal in every other form of business – but on the trains that’s fine, let them charge us through the nose for pitiful services that don’t get better.
Grace Whyte, GlasgowRailways and infrastructure are privately owned and, as a taxpayer, I’m still paying for it. I’d rather own it with the rest of the people.
