Jamie Robertson, LondonSo we gave it a go and it failed us all. Bring back British Rail.
Stuart Wilson, NorwichThe unification of the train operators with the infrastructure is a must for a commonsensical rail network.
Gillian Codling, BarnetPublic services should never never be privatised. A re-unified national rail network is the way forward.
Jon Waring, YorkI don’t want to bring back the British Rail as was – but a modern British Rail which puts quality, safety and comfort first, not profit. The current system is crap.
Lesley Ingham, CorbyVehicles need taking off the roads. This is the only way this can happen.
Joshua Bryant, WelwynYet again proof if any was needed that privatisation does not work.
Duncan McCallum, FalkirkLet’s use the profits for a better service rather than lining the pockets of a few.
John Hearn, RotherhamThe railways, along with the utilities, should be for the benefit of all and not for profit for the privileged.
Saffron Swansborough, HerstmonceuxI heard about this campaign group on the Today programme recently. The spokesperson was terrific. I sympathise with the disgruntled Southern staff too.
Jonathan Hayter, RedruthThe railways should always have been left in public ownership and not run for private profit but in the interest of the user.
Eirin Julie Ingebrigtsvoll, LondonFor the people, not private profit.
Malcolm Paskins, FarehamThe railways should be run for the benefit of passengers, not shareholders. Only re-nationalisation will give priority to passengers.
Sandy Irvine, Newcastle-upon-TyneThings that naturally function best together should be kept together in public hands.
Brian Southam, Leamington SpaPublic services for the public, not for private profit.
Nicky Whittenham, WeymouthI rely on public transport to travel to work and its cost is becoming prohibitive. Something needs to give.
Julia Hector, StirlingI would like to be able to use the railways like I used to, where my (reasonable) fare goes towards the railways not for some profiteering company.
Harry Martin, WembleyIt’s a really important project.
Darren Sumner, NewportBring back British Rail and start re-nationalisation.
Simon Kirkham, High WycombeA railway system for the public and owned by the public.
Stephen Clark, CumbernauldPut the money where it belongs, back into the railways, to enhance them and bring down the cost for the people that use them.
Martin Rayfield, PrestonI’m fed up with rich bosses. Let the people have the railways back.
Quinn Ellis, NottinghamIt’s imperative that all passenger services are put back into public ownership, that ticket prices are halved and investment doubled.
Alastair CurrieRailways are a service, and services should be run by the country for the people, not by individuals for a profit.
G Eisele, ManchesterI wholeheartedly support this petition to re-nationalise the railways.
Jamie Spilsbury, MerseysidePrivatisation has taken its toll on the whole railway system in Britain, turning it into a complete mess, not to mention train fares going up year after year.
Mary Fraser, KilmarnockWe should own the railways before they go overseas.
Sam Pinington, BlackpoolWe need our railways brought back on track. Privatising the railway has not worked.
Carol Lynch, WallaseyWe want to be treated like our Euro-cousins with cheaper rail fares.
Jim Parker, Hampton WickCutting out stations to make up time and not keeping customers informed drives me crazy.
Neal Ball, HoveBring back one unified company, but it must be free of government control.
