Steve Goddard, CrawleyRe-nationalisation could be designed to benefit passengers, workers and small/medium size companies as well through fair non-cartel competition. Fewer lazy fat cats.
Jed Nejzer, LeedsGood work everyone. Bring about change with peaceful non-compliance.
Justin Grasty, YorkThe only way to travel that makes sense. By the people for the people. The competition fallacy has derailed with the success of East Coast thus far.
Su Maddock, TorbaySu Maddock is Labour PPC for Torbay. We need more investment in the railways in the Southwest – i.e. an additional line to Plymouth.
KC Mull, BanburyChiltern amended a perfectly good timetable with disastrous results.
Edward Freeman, DundeePrivate interests should not profit from national infrastructure or a national service or a national utility at the expense of the public.
Mat FlemingBuying a train ticket is a lottery and just not affordable except in advance.
Daniel York, LondonYear on year out we get fleeced. Enough is enough.
Alan Etheridge, SouthamptonI don’t use the railway so much now – prices are too high, and station staffing is poor.
Sue Sparks, LondonRail should be under unified public ownership, only more accountable than it was before to passengers and employees.
Gary Taylor, EpsomI support this totally.
Geiif Mcghee, FranceI like trains and want to see more trains without the trains being owned by bad train companies.
Janet Francis, Welwyn Garden CityBritish Rail, one company, one network.
Carl Spurling, FrodshamThe system at present, with so many companies, is too complicated, particularly when planning a cross country route. Fares are complicated and expensive. No one seems accountable.
Cecilia Iredale, HockleyThe fact the privatised rail companies collectively receive more in subsidies than British Rail ever did is sufficient reason alone to support this petition.
Luke Durrant, NorwichAs a member of the Labour Party, I want to take back our railways. Let’s shake the leadership and inject some socialism back in.
Liz Walker, CambridgeThe profits made by the East Coast service in public hands go directly into the public purse and not to shareholders. We should not renew any more rail franchises.
Aaron Omeroglu, Haywards HeathIt’s something that has exploited the working people and we need to take back control.
Gareth Gwyn-Jones, BarnetRail privatisation – made for ideological reasons and to remove subsidies from government funds. Now subsidies are higher than before. I.
Marc Seccombe, DoncasterIf it can be as good as East Coast.
Christine Gooddy, BoltonI’ve noticed changes already. Where was our referendum on this?
Christine Maloney, RomfordDefinitely bring it back. I’m just fed up hearing about these price hikes all the time.
Liam Murphy, BirminghamEssential services should be provided by taxes – not toys for corporations to rake in the profits and screw the people they know have no other choice of travel.
Arn Dekker, CambridgeIf so many European countries believe their railways should be nationalised, why should Britain not follow their wisdom?
Fliss Premru, LondonWe need a publicly-owned, accountable and affordable railway more than ever at this time of austerity and climate change. Rail rather than more short haul flights.
Marie McCahery, BradfordThere are so many social and environmental benefits from having a well-used railway system. It is not suitable to be run by short-termist corporations.
Brian Wilkinson, HarrogateI want to see an end to days where travelling on trains causes anxiety because employees treat passengers as potential cheats rather than decent citizens.
Neil Salvage, BrightonVital.
Julia Gavriel, CanterburyProfit-driven companies do not prioritise the needs of the country.
Robbie Bourget, SloughThe service we get from the profiteers is abysmal and inexcusable. We need a proper public service.
