I will end up spontaneously combusting.

John Wightman, Airdrie

Since the fat cats have taken over all we hear about is how much the fares are going up.

David Mullins, Derbyshire

I agree whole-heartedly with this campaign.

Helka Thompson, Swindon

All industries back to state-owned please.

Anne-Marie Curry, London

An efficient, well-run state railway with proper investment. Not subsidised ‘pretend’ markets.

Dave Draycott, Halifax

Privatisation does not save money – I’ve been outsourced from a civil servant job and it is a fact that it costs more from private industry.

David White, Bicester

Private companies such as Virgin have been robbing the public for too long.

Mustafa Raee, Bristol

Rail privatisation was madness in 1993 and remains madness in 2013. A massive public subsidy of private profit. Re-nationalisation is not just sensible, it is essential.

Julian Wagstaff, Edinburgh

Privatisation rarely works for the average person. East Coast was doing so well so why did that have to change?

Diana Lauder, Wakefield

Southeastern are a disgrace.

Alex Veysey, Meopham

Any profit should be re-invested, not lining the pockets of owners.

Bruce Cooper, Herne Bay

Rail travel is becoming unaffordable for many, when it should be made the preferred mode of travel to the road.

Ren

Private companies are being subsidised for failures and raking in huge profits whilst the average citizen’s fare is being jacked up exponentially. Bring back British Rail.

Robert Bain, Glasgow

Good petition. British Rail – the good old days.

Joe Ellis, Herne Bay

The Government already pays towards supporting the railways and is being fleeced by the companies that run it, so let’s get rid of all these free loading fat cats.

Peter Green, Cleethorpes

Nationalise the railways.

Marion Grez, London

Nationalise now!

Josh Hutchinson , Cambridge

Fair price for fares. No stockbroker style ticket buying. Stick to advertised prices, no unannounced hourly changes to ruin student travel budgeting.

Jane Skyrme, Hereford

Give us our railways back.

Keith Finn, Neath

Public money is for public services, not profits for shareholders.

Gordon Hope-Murray, Reading

It’s the only sensible option to run a network.

Andy Kuss, Bath

As a daily commuter, most of the time I’m crushed on entrance. I wouldn’t mind if it was cheap, but it’s not. It’s fast becoming a rich boy’s means of travel..

Gemma Brown, Bristol

Essential national infrastructure must not be used as a cash-cow for foreign capitalists.

Roland Bishop, Southampton

Thanks for sending me stickers. Good luck.

Hatim Abou, Morocco

I believe in a publicly owned rail network. Railways are the arteries on which our lives depend. We should own them.

John Mapplebeck, Bamburgh

Repeat East Coast success across the nation.

Keith Graham, East Boldon

Time to put an end to the absurd way our railway is currently run.

Karl Parsons, Plymouth

This is a Human Rights issue as our taxes are still subsidising the private corporations. Please support https://you.38degrees.org.uk/p/bill-of-rights too.

John Wilson, Telford

For the people by the people.

Alan Lyddiard, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

It’s definitely cheaper for me to drive than use the trains, even off-peak and that is crazy. If fares were half the price I would let the train take the strain.

Robert Smith, Gravesend
