Rich Fisher, BristolIt must be done properly, and that means taking ownership of all the track, rolling-stock, infrastructure etc.
Matt Murphy, BristolEverything that was privatised by the Tory slugs in the 80s and 90s should have been re-nationalised soon after.
Jason Pak, LondonI would like to support the cause to bring back British Rail and re-nationalise the UK rail system.
Govinda Dickman, BristolIt should never have been privatised.
Christopher Wood, SheffieldBring back the profits to public ownership.
Charlie Sheahan, StevenageBring back British Rail.
Keith Foulds, SheffieldThe proof is in East Coast Trains.
Adam Fekete, HarrogateTrains rock.
Anthony Ryan, HullPrivatisation equals poor service and higher prices.
Celia Kelly, LiverpoolWell done Bring Back British Rail. Make sure people know about the huge subsidies the current providers get from us. It’s our railway.
John Gilfillan, LeedsThe last 20 years have seen the taxpayers’ pounds drained into shareholders’ pockets and fares rise disgracefully. Profit is not the only motive; service enriches us better.
Joanne Turner, CamberleyBring back British Rail.
Alison Harris, PontefractRailways and other forms of public transport should be subsidised by the state for the benefit of the users and employees and not for shareholders in private companies.
Paula Marley, SheffieldI love trains and rail travel but cannot afford to use them under the current capitalist system.
Ross Wright, KirriemuirIt can’t be any more expensive than it already is.
Ruth Rach, LewesStop these greedy, outrageous and callous private monopolies
Colin Robinson, GatesheadPrivate enterprise is failing and is too expensive. Any surplus should go to the Treasury not to shareholders.
Suzanne Davies, CarmarthenI support this petition.
Simon Wolfers, LlanbedrOur state should run our rail, not foreign states.
Elaine Hanson, HuddersfieldWishing you huge success.
Jim Pryce, AsfordbyIt should be back to government control. There are too many privateers and profit-seekers.
Allan Savage, CramlingtonBritish Rail should never have been privatised for it belongs to the people.
Robin Sunderland, HarrogateGreat idea.
Maxine Jackson, LiverpoolCan’t wait to ride on a British Train once more.
Atteridge John, LondonWe should re-nationalise the railways and many other public utilities.
James Peel, StockportI have the utter displeasure of suffering 10 Northern Rail journeys a week. Last week 9 out of 10 were late, and I never got a seat. It is an absolute disgrace.
Karen Veitch, Holmes ChapelI am fed up with overpricing, dirty trains, poor journeys, no choice and trains being cancelled. And they think its acceptable.
Nicola Brown, LondonAs a frequent weekend traveller to Derby, I am sorry to say that it is now cheaper for me to drive around London and then on the M1 to Derby rather than travel by train.
Tom Carr, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe railways are too much an important part of our infrastructure to trust to private companies – viz the GNER and National Express debacle on the East Coast mainline.
Liane Hambly, NottinghamI am trying to sort out my parents’ assistance for travelling tomorrow. We have to ring a different number for each part of the journey because each train line has their own.
