Stuart Jones, LincolnEast Coast has worked fine under public ownership recently. Why change it?
Jacqui Rowe, BirminghamI’m disgusted that London Midland has had its franchise extended.
Paul Miles, Crawley£34.90 every day and still no seat – how can that be right?
Charlie Wyatt, GravesendSoutheastern sucks.
Gillian Lawrence, EdinburghCurrent rail transport is complex, profit-driven, with safety loopholes. It should be replaced by a sustainable service offering an alternative to car travel.
Patricia Gwynnette, RotherhamNot much chance of success considering the stance of HS2 and other moves to silence any protest.
Tony Goode, Newcastle-upon-TyneFares are ridiculously high compared to other EU states. Ticket pricing is a mess. Why is it cheaper to buy 2 tickets Newcastle-York-Manchester than 1 through ticket?
Paul Hollister, StockportEnd the fraud and corruption by the City of London and the bought politicians.
Alice Ellis-Bray, PenzanceIncredible campaign and petition! This brings me such hope. Thank you! Our earth needs affordable public transport for all!
Annabelle Killworth, BasildonWe need railways to provide public services not profit for millionaires.
Kevin Lycett, LeedsI remember how dreadful British Rail was, run for the convenience of the staff, no customer care, and no investment, but even that is better than this awful mess.
Angie Jukes, WarringtonI am a passenger not a customer.
Harry Willoughby, WellsBritish trains are deplorable for their service and prices. We need to compete with our European peers.
Nick Barnett, HoveBR was proper railways.
Douglas Hill, WillitonIt makes commercial sense.
James Robert Gillespie, GlasgowPrivatisation has been a disaster. British Rail needs to be completely in public hands.
Margaret Ashton, South ShieldsAny profit should be returned to the public purse, not shareholders’ pockets.
Michael Barlow, DurhamGNER was the most efficient service in the country when back in public hands, which says it all. Privately owned means profit before investment.
Jerry Desmond, LondonIt’s unbelievably stupid that all the current companies are privately owned by foreign investors, whilst we pay some of the highest rail fares in the World.
Nick Urquhart, AberdeenThe shocking performance of rail services shows it needs to be state-owned. I do not remember the last time a train left exactly on time.
Paul Rechnitz, LondonPrivatisation of the rail network has been a disaster.
Bradley White, DerbyshireI agree.
Grace Kavanagh, LondonTrains are more environmentally friendly than planes. Cut train fares and make them more efficient by uniting the service. Bring back British Rail.
Anthony Ellison, GreenhitheWhat an excellent campaign. Get rid of these vile profit making companies who are ruining the railways.
David White, NewarkEast Coast mainline is owned by the government and makes a profit. Bring back public ownership for all our railways.
Tim Shields, ChorleyIt’s about time we gave power over train prices back to the people and took the initiative to have more state-owned commodities.
Robin Lenox, Whippingham, Isle of WightThe only way forward for our railways is in the public sector as a non profit company. No greedy shareholders and over-paid directors to cream off the profits.
Colin Seddon, LeedsI live in Morley and the service here is a joke. I was waiting almost two hours for the “half-hourly” train service into Leeds recently!
David Sherwood, NorthwichPrivatisation has failed, tax payers pay more subsidies to give private companies more profit.
Paul BrightWhen family railcards used to be valid for Sealink and European travel, international journeys were within the reach of every family.
