Catherine Heard, BeckenhamI’ve signed this petition to object to fat cat executives making huge profits from privatisation. Where is the promised investment? Bring back affordable fares.
Jack Wrigley, StockportA national rail service should be part of a national integrated transport network including buses and trams.
Peter Karch, NottinghamThe private companies receive a level of subsidy BR could only dream of and deliver an inferior service with higher fares and antiquated rolling stock.
AngusRailways should be run for the benefit of the passengers and not the operators.
Cathie Thomson, ManchesterI used to be proud of our railways as were my uncles who were train drivers.
Ian Stevens, PenzanceIt’s used by the people and should therefore be owned by the people.
David Carr, TadleyI hope you are successful with your petition.
Paul Bond, TonbridgeBy 60-20% British people support renationalising the railways so they are responsible to taxpayers not shareholders.
Chris Lovett, Charlwood, SurreyI loved British Rail. Bring it back now.
Tom Nicholls, LondonDriving is so backward. People zooming around at 90mph in metal boxes at a cost to the planet. Trains for the future, blow privatisation.
Paul Rechnitz, LondonPrivatisation of the rail network has been a disaster.
LorenzoCan another government – Spain, France, Switzerland or Germany – run it next time and they have a better track record.
Thomas Freegard, SwindonPublic ownership is the only way to ensure investment in the future, lower fares, more staff and a railway that works for everyone.
David Speare, PlymouthLabour must commit to bring rail back to public ownership. Stop the madness.
Tom Constable, CaithnessWe’re passengers, not customers and we need one good service, not a wasteful bunch of businesses.
Carol Spicer, NottinghamReliable service and fares that are fair and easy to work out.
Susan McDermott, EdinburghYou have my full support. Good luck with the campaign.
Janet Weston, CowesNever mind HS2 and HS3. Let’s just get the railways unified. BR was far from perfect, but at least fares didn’t have to include a payout for shareholders.
Jeffery Thomas, TenbyJoined-up services, ticketing, timetable and proper responsibilities are needed again.
Mandi Riseman, St. AlbansBring it back.
Chris Bhamra, SheffieldThe present system is completely unacceptable.
Helena Jaeschke, BarnstapleI frequently travel on trains in the Southwest, including the Tarka line. Much needed, much used, but poorly run by FGW.
Janis Bull, BillericayLet’s aim to keep companies British. We have sold off our country to too many foreign companies and governments.
Aron BuchneaBR was the best railway in the world and as a rail fan I want it back.
Lynda Russell, St Leonards-on-SeaPlease bring back the railways into public ownership.
Colin Everest, SherborneIt is high time we started to reverse at least some of the damage that was done to our services by selling them off to profiteers.
Alistair Woods, ManchesterEnd privatisation and bring it back.
Eamonn Neilson, BelfastThe country and the people need British Rail back.
Julie Boston, BristolSupport MPs who campaign to take back the Great Western franchise. Support RMT and protect rail jobs such as track maintenance, booking offices and guards.
Levente Varga, HoveThere is absolutely no reason why a one stop journey should cost over £5, especially when some countries offer entire countrywide rail passes for £4. Insane.
