Brian Wilkinson, Newcastle-upon-TyneI want an end to privatised rail and return to British Rail.
Richard Wetherell, LondonIf the French and German state rail companies think it’s a good idea to run Britain’s railways then why don’t we?
G Eisele, ManchesterI wholeheartedly support this petition to re-nationalise the railways.
Antonia Petale, LondonThe service currently being offered by the existing privatised train companies is way below an acceptable standard and too expensive.
H R Anderson, FalkirkPrivatisation is theft.
Joe Kelly, CambridgeThe railway should be run for the good of the UK, not shareholder dividends.
James GreenWe need to get British Railways back. Then they will be a lot better services and a lot cheaper to run.
Jack Simons, ConsettThere is no democracy in Parliament. Our MPs should consider the voices of the people and not that of a Party Whip dictatorship.
James Aitken, EdinburghEnd the rip-off of both passengers and taxpayers. We pay more now than we did for BR.
Patrick Clarke, LondonThe current system is an expensive and incohesive shambles.
Chris Bhamra, SheffieldThe present system is completely unacceptable.
C L Gamble, DundeeAward winning companies stripped of their franchises & worse… the march downward to profit focused services above all other concerns is harmful on so many levels.
Louise Tippett, Walton-on-ThamesIt is crucial for a fairer society and to make the public infrastructure work better.
Michael Doherty, GloucesterIt was never going to work.
Anne Stockport, PeterleeAs soon as shareholders and profits come in, consumers needs go out.
Andrew Remedios, BrightonNo more subsidies to fat cat franchise owners. We need a public transport system fit for public use.
Edwin Beecroft, LyndhurstI’m fed up with private companies trying to run this country like a private company.
Graham WalkerFuel duty for motorists frozen for the last seven years. Rail fares have risen in line with inflation. With little or no increase in wages. Bring back British Rail.
Jacqueline Kennett, SidmouthIt’s a disgusting state of affairs.
Tom Faulkner, EastbourneNothing but delays and strikes on Southern. But fares still keep rising. Privatisation is not helping passengers.
Marie Pettigrew, NottinghamThe only part of the railways to make a profit is the bit in government hands. We are supporting the privatised bit and being fleeced on fares to pay fat dividends.
Mike Magee, FromePrivatisation is a disaster wherever it has been applied. The post-war Labour government nationalised key industries because they had been a rich man’s cash cow pre-war.
Maxwell Lawrence, RedhillThe train service needs to be unified and run for the people not for private profit. I’m fed up with the varied levels of service between train companies.
Tim Spencer, LondonIt is things like the privatisation of East Coast that motivates me to get the Tory bastards out of power. They have no interest in serving the common good
James O’Neill, EdinburghIt’s disgusting that the public have to pay to make a few people become millionaires for doing nothing.
Alice Lucas, BrightonWe have suffered for far too long with an inadequate and exorbitantly overpriced rail service. Year on year we pay more for a service that is failing us at every corner.
Darryl Redshaw, BriggHelp save the public money.
Elizabeth Smith, WhitchurchThings have changed for the worse, and not for the better.
Dawne Gardner, NottinghamStop the stupid new lines that save 20 mins and rebuild the ones closed by Beeching. We need East to West connections.
Jurek Narozanski, EalingIt is instructive to note that SNCF, DB, FS SNCB, RENFE are all socially owned and remarkably they work and are affordable. Not so the over-priced mess that is the UK.
