Martyn Lyman, LeicesterI support the idea of bringing back British Rail because it is ridiculous to think it’s cheaper to fly than to take the train. We’ve had enough, Cameron.
Josh Rose, ElyJoined-up rail, owned by the people, paid for by the people, used by the people. You know it makes sense.
Phillip Crosby, LondonHaving been a regular user of train services, I have seen no improvement and yet year on year price rises that far exceed salary rises. It’s a racket and it needs to stop
Maureen Raud, TeignmouthThe time has come to tell the Government that we’ve had enough of all this privatisation that doesn’t work for anyone except the fat cats.
Anna Worthy, SunderlandRailways need to be in public ownership. We would save one billion a year.
Nick Cotton, ShrewsburyWhy so damned complicated and why so out of touch with normal pricing structures?
Ersan Hakki, LondonFare increases every year for an increasingly diminished and unreliable service. Privatised companies have had zero accountability for too long.
Brian Rattray, AberdeenPrivatisation has been one of the biggest disasters of all time.
Jacob Tyne, TorquayBringing back British Rail will allow for a better rail network providing better rolling stock, stations and fewer failures, lower fares and less crowding.
Andrew VarleySince privatisation prices have rocketed and services plummeted in the North – overcrowding, old stock, not enough trains. Promises, promises and nothing ever done.
Nigel Holmes, HullThere is no logical reason not to return the railways to public ownership, run like a business, to keep tickets economical and benefit the travelling public.
Simon Forsey, NottinghamBring it back!
Charles Coughlan, Leighton BuzzardEveryone: let your friends and family know about this petition. Privatisation of the railway has made our country worse and now we have to fix it.
Jim Gannon, LondonThis gets my vote.
Sam La Roche, WrexhamNationalise BR for a better service, a cheaper service, a public service. It’s what the public want.
William Harris, ManchesterRail transport should be counted as a social service.
Dan Nash, West SussexI travel with Southern daily. If half the money poured into that franchise had been poured into British Rail, it would’ve been a success.
Gareth Hoskins, BristolRailways should be owned by the people who use them.
Vincent Jackson, LondonNo justice, No peace
Mark Faulkner, South ElmsallGood Luck.
David Hornsby, ShipleyRe-nationalise the rail network and put the customer, not profits, first.
Reuben Puddy, CombertonIt’s a no-brainer. Sensible joined-up network.
Martin Harrison, GloucesterBeing a student, it would be amazing for subsidised rail fares and putting the profit into our government’s hands instead of it being in our European neighbours’ pockets.
Dorothy Chambers, LincolnI agree John Major had no right to sell it off.
Patric Monney, BirminghamEnd this national disgrace of this decimated transport system and put it back in public ownership and people that give a damn about it.
Kevin Morrell, PortsmouthThis national disgrace needs to be sorted, as our future depends on it.
Peter Davies, HoveRail needs a long-term view and long-term significant investment. It’s only possible by re-investing all proceeds into the network. Shareholders drive investment down. Always.
Jan Smith, NelsonThere is a crying need to make public transport more affordable. Re-nationalisation of rail is one way to do this.
Steve Burdekin, LondonThe current situation sees a monopoly and expensive fares whilst we still subsidise billions into the private sector when it should be going to the national purse.
Nia Golding, NewbridgePrivatisation of public services has been a drastic failure.
