Tom Spowart, Newton AycliffeThe railway privatisation was rushed through, our railways were sold at cut price without our agreement. If only British Rail had received the money private operators get.
John Sheard, WarkworthMy MP is Lib Dem Sir Alan Beith. I have written to him and sent articles in favour of state-run railways but he is more like the Tories in so far as the railways are concerned.
Emily Simpson, CarlisleToo much money is given away to other countries through private companies, it needs to stop.
Peter Stoodley, BradfordNo compensation for any of the companies currently running the railways. They’ve had quite enough already.
Michael Hare, WarringtonIt’s time to return to Social Democracy.
Steve Watters, BristolBring back British Rail.
Daniel Wright, SouthamptonTrains are a disgrace. The timetable is never kept, and the network is a shambles.
Janet Goodall, HarwichIf railways were nationalised, we could pay people to be station staff instead of paying them to be out of work.
Toby Shackleton, LondonPrivatisation has failed. Bring back British Rail for the staff, for the commuters and for the greater good.
Lee Richardson, DarlingtonI have worked on the railway for 13 years and can honestly say that this is the only way forward for the rail industry.
Noel Grummitt, IlfracombePeople before profits.
Sian Megginson, MiddlesbroughAll privatised companies and services should be re-nationalised. We the public are getting ripped off and there is no competition with any of them. It’s immoral.
Andrew Sherwin, BathOur basic infrastructure should always belong to and be run for the benefit of the people of the United Kingdom.
Kayla Ente, BrightonChris Grayling has now conceded that the trains and the tracks need to be operated by the same entity. Therefore, nationalisation is now imperative.
Natalie Clarke, LondonEnd privatisation.
Joe Jordan, DundeeReturn all the land by the railway lines that has been misappropriated too.
Mick Rix, NorthumberlandHow can they take away what is rightfully ours in the first place? It’s the same with everything else that has been sold off.
Allan Jones, ElginThey should never have been privatised. The government conspired to make them look unprofitable at the time and also at the time of Beeching.
Jennifer Broderick, LymmBring back British Rail.
Anthony Charles Walker, LeicesterPrices are now ridiculous, especially to London and Liverpool.
Malcolm Crapper, SheffieldBritish Rail should be run on behalf of the people and not for private profit. Please support this petition and get the Labour Party pledge this in their manifesto.
Gary Cook, CullomptonIt’s a network so it needs to be one organisation.
Alan Harrison, WalsallRail is a natural monopoly and pseudo-competition is a nonsense. Bring back BR.
Axel Blackston, RedhillI will join your fight for freedom.
Bonnie Keegan, CoventryLet’s reclaim our railways.
Geraldine Wright, Newcastle-upon-TyneRails should be run for the people, not for profits. Privatising the UK rail network is another way of squeezing wealth out of the British public.
Jacqui Butterworth, HuddersfieldThey should never have been sold off.
Marion Matthewman, Berwick-upon-TweedAnything to improve things.
Barry Mahar, FromeI’m sick of hearing things like your ticket is not valid on trains run by so-and-so, whereas with just one company, there would be no problem.
David Pears, Milton KeynesService and passengers before profit. Many rely on rail.
