Charlotte Graham, HuddersfieldPlease bring it all back to reality.
Noel Inge, Harrold, BedsThe current system is uniquely stupid. Dogma should not be the starting point for delivering such a vital public service.
Barbara Penny, HarrogateOur rail fares are the highest in Europe.
Joshua Harper, ManchesterPrivate ownership of rail companies puts profit before customers and allows private companies to profit from failure. This is unacceptable and needs to change.
Lesley Homer, DunstableI’m fed up with tickets not allowing you on certain trains. It happens too often to us. We don’t want money-grabbing shareholders taking the profits. Plough it back into travel.
Edward WashingtonPlease check your records as I may have already signed this petition.
John McIntosh, ThornhillNothing taken out of public ownership is an improvement. All they are interested in are profits for shareholders. The only losers are the consumers.
Bobbie Syrett, LeedsSome things in life should never be privatised. Education, the NHS, the Police, the Post Office and the Railways.
Cathrine Simmons, Great TorringtonThe railway system is a mess. It is hard to book tickets at sensible prices, our local trains are full, in bad condition and uncomfortable while rural areas are neglected.
Claire Constable, LondonOur railways should be publicly owned and accountable. Privatisation has been a nightmare. Ticket prices are like playing the lottery.
Paul Doe, CrowboroughI work for the Kent train operating company and I would rather be working for a company that is a not for shareholders’ profit.
Fiona Brice, HoveEnd over-complicated fare structures.
Gordon Leach, PortsladeHaving experienced the shambles of Southern and the marginally better Arriva Trains Wales services it is high time they were done away with and re-nationalised.
Mal Rothwell, PlymouthBest job I ever had all under one umbrella.
Wendy Bennett, WallaseyGet it back for the people of the UK.
Alice Ellis-Bray, PenzanceIncredible campaign and petition! This brings me such hope. Thank you! Our earth needs affordable public transport for all!
Michael Jones, ShrewsburyImagine BR with the amount of funding all these companies get and the only compensation payments were to end users not the paper excuses we have now.
Caroline WinnTravel by rail is overly expensive, complicated, frustrating. The service is poor – trains are late on a daily basis – trains are dirty with toilets frequently overflowing.
Nancy Jones, FolkestoneAs a kid I could travel anywhere safely at low cost, including those great day trips tickets. Now I can’t afford to go anywhere in UK as I get coach sick.
Michael Nash, FetchamWe need a co-ordinated national network for the benefit of passengers and fright, with any profits going back into the network, not shareholders’ pockets.
Hany Taha, Bognor RegisBring back BR.
Graham Harrison, OldhamThe people need to make sacrifices and boycott the rail network. Nothing will ever change until the companies that run the rails lose money. A few days would be enough.
Jeanne Ross-Osborne, SouthamptonI want rail fares to be the same tariff wherever I go. It’s too complicated trying to find the best deals for an elderly pensioner.
Pamela McFarlane, IpswichThe prices are too ridiculous. I’m spending a quarter of my monthly wage on trains.
Christopher Teitge, StaffordBring back our British Rail. It is for the people of Britain and not for the profit of these greedy selfish fat cats.
Michael John Rutland, Stockton-on-TeesI’m fed up with the awful trains that run in our region (Northern Rail).
Nigel Miller, WallingtonActually, the railways secretly remained nationalised, in the sense that the government pays for them. But they makes us think they’re private, because they don’t run them anymore.
Peter Sains, Bishop AucklandWhose Railways? Ours. Give back our railways.
Sarah Haworth, DevonBy the people for the people.
Peter Sansom, GlasgowPrivatisation has meant soaring ticket prices, ever larger subsidies and inferior service. Transport in the hands of the state (East Coast) will always outperform private.
