Martyn Bissett, StirlingTaking the train between Scotland and London has just become unaffordable for me.
Joyce Wood, NorthamptonWe should re-nationalise all our sold-off utilities. No-one asked us for permission.
Michael Newton, DoncasterPut an end to all this privatisation. It’s the ordinary British person’s tax that built our once great railways – hence British Rail. Since privatisation just a mess.
Harrison Connor, BasingstokeBritish Rail was good. They should never have privatised the railways because the fares cost so much.
Phillip Corbett, HarwichLet’s stop this private greed and get back on the right tracks. Public transport.
Martin Yeomans, ThurrockI’m sick of non-running or late running trains. Track work, track work is a mantra of C2C.
Paul Harrop, HullPrivatised railways put profit before passengers. The result is unreliable, expensive services which are less safe. Public ownership is the only cure for this disaster.
Vivek Patel, LeicesterWe need cheaper public transport.
Christopher Gauntlett, LondonImperative for the future.
William Ryan, ManchesterWe need to re-nationalise all the transport and utilities.
Cyndy Kelly, WetherbyNot only do I want to bring back British Rail, I want everything to be brought back.
Adrian Barron, MaidenheadSelling essential public infrastructure was (and still is) absolute stupidity.
Kathleen Price, NottinghamI use East Midlands trains at least twice a week and as the prices rise the service gets poorer.
Adrian Bryan, NorwichPrivatised rail companies are a joke. Prices have consistently risen above inflation and the service has not improved. It costs more for a return ticket for petrol.
Joan Sanger, BeckinghamPut the railways back into public ownership. It will save money and save tax-payers’ money.
Joe Ellis, Herne BayGood petition. British Rail – the good old days.
Peter Lane, St NeotsI lost my job and pension in 1993 as the Tories decimated BR in preparation for privatisation. My life can’t be fixed but the railways can.
Belinda Lowis, Chester-le-StreetWe should remove private profit from all essential services.
Glynis Fisher, BirminghamAll MPs should pay their own fares and not claim them on expenses. We just might see a different reaction from them then.
Vicky Bear, BodminRail, like water and electricity, is a public utility and should be in the public domain.
Linda Halsey, KnaresboroughAll public transport in the UK should be nationalised. All that means is that it belongs to us not to other nations and nationalities.
Federico Moscogiuri, HertfordIn recent years we have seen spiralling costs, deteriorating services and vast amounts of public money used to subsidise the rail companies. This experiment has failed.
Antoinette Sym, LondonAll essentials, transport, education, health and energy, should be nationally-owned concerns.
Louise Butcher, KentI’ve reached the end of the rail with Southeastern. We need a return to a service run for passengers not for profit.
Justin Grasty, YorkThe only way to travel that makes sense. By the people for the people. The competition fallacy has derailed with the success of East Coast thus far.
Pauline Allies, MaidenheadThe transport infrastructure should be owned by all of us so we can develop a coherent transport policy for the future.
Benjamin Ross, Welwyn Garden CityThis is needed. Our railways are just a joke now.
David Drew, RickmansworthPrivatisation was a botched ideological part of roll-back the state, John Major’s attempt to go where Maggie did not. Other countries saw that it was folly and did not.
Denise Bret, LondonIt is definitely time that railways are taken out of the private sector and run for the public not for enrichment of the few.
Marshall Dean, KeithScotRail and their subsequent operators are a joke. They use every opportunity to blame Network Rail for failures.
