Public transport run for the public.

Martin Bane, Brighton

Indeed – ‘Bring Back British Rail.’

Fiona Macaulay, Edinburgh

the price of season tickets is at an all time high. The service since privatisation Is awful. I have had enough. Please bring back British Rail.

John Heyburn, Rochford

Out of all the countries I’ve travelled to, trains are most expensive here. Constant delays, cancellations, charged extra in peak times. All for what?

Terrance Dobbins, Wirral

Great Eastern commuters have no choice of rail companies, so how can privatisation be of any use to this line? Private business always wants to make profits, not run great railways.

Russell Stubbs, Colchester

taxpayers subsidising franchising companies like Virgin. No wonder Beardie can retire to his private island.

Nancy Scannell-Newsome, Huddersfield

The quicker the better.

David Willoughby, Houghton-le-Spring

I’m disgruntled and fed up with daily cancellations, delays and overcrowded peak-time services on the Luton/St Albans to Sevenoaks service.

Tristan Owen, London

I totally support the campaign.

Robert Flynn, Douglas

If the railways are a loss-making industry, why are there big payouts to shareholders? Where does that money come from?

Frank Belsey, Enfield

In the US the push for the privatisation of government functions and services has always resulted in reduced services at higher costs.

Nancy Neal

I heart British Railways.

May Loose Jamal,

Its high time we reversed the criminal corrupt theft of public assets (aka privatisation) by Tory criminal elites and their corporate funders.

Harvey Upton, Ely

British Railways is the only cost effective practical solution for public rail transport in Great Britain.

Martin Reaper, Durham

The current rail system is an expensive shambles, rip-off for hapless passengers and an embarrassment to all.

J Mark McCoy, London

It should be back to government control. There are too many privateers and profit-seekers.

Jim Pryce, Asfordby

£249 for return from London to Leeds. Privatisation of the rail networks just doesn’t work in the best interests of the public.

Daniel Whatmuff, London

Current system of franchises has failed. Time for a rethink.

Chris Allan, Dundee

We are supporting the network with our taxes. Let’s get something back from our investment. Nationalise Now. Put the people back in charge.

Stephen Doggart, Dundee

Please bring back British Rail to run an efficient and not-for-profit service.

Pauline Harrison, Sheffield

Our rail network should be the envy of the world but sadly it lags far behind other countries in the western world. Our governments have failed to invest.

Patricia Dellar, Royston

By signing this I am not showing any political allegiance – just a preference for Tunisian rail travel which is much superior to Britain’s. This must mean something.

Wendy Venters, Fraserburgh

Good luck with the campaign! As a commuter I thank you for your efforts.

Joe Diamond

Anything that looks after the people of this country and not lining the pockets of the greedy 1% gets my vote. It’s just common sense really.

Alan Notton, Essex

The promise that privatisation would bring lower prices and a better service is as false with rail as with water, energy and, soon, the postal service.

Tim Byrne

Bring back BR.

Daniel Brown, Leiston

Stop putting money into the pockets of the greedy privatised railway owners.

Stevan Hezseltine, Carshalton Beeches

Shocking company, greedy CEO.

Steve Emsley, Huddersfield

Railways have been ruined by privatisation. Money is not being put back into the system and they are old and past it, they should be all run as one, not many.

Penny Dellow, Eastbourne

I totally agree with the idea of bringing back British Rail. Good luck in your campaign!
