Mike D’ambrogio, LiverpoolI wish we could bring back British Rail trains and Inter City, Inter City Eurostar, British Rail ferries.
Alan Ransley, BroadstairsRetired rail worker, both British Rail and private. I know which is best for the country. BBBR.
Geraldine Rose, Calver, Hope ValleyPublic assets should never be privatised – it’s a retrograde step. They belong to the nation, not to wealthy individuals – it’s ridiculous. Re-nationalise now.
Joan Foye, OssettPrivatisation has caused inferior service. The railways and the power companies should be re-nationalised.
Neraj Sharma, Milton KeynesThere is no valid reason for keeping the railways in private hands. The model has miserably failed. This is resulting in underused transport rail service and clogged roads.
Russell Pritchard, Colwyn BayNot for profit.
Krystal Garnett, MerseysideDedicate real investment for serious mass transit projects that realise the full benefits of existing rail alignments.
Martin Bailey, York20 years of poor service, extortionate fares and lame excuses. It’s time for re-nationalisation.
Glen Reeves, FolkestoneBring BR back. SouthEastern and the others are a joke, and are ripping us all off.
Kai Motta, KentOne of the best ideas I’ve heard in a long while.
Peter Flack, LeicesterThe railways are and always were a public service, not an opportunity for profiteering at the public’s expense.
Terry Bigley, HinckleyBritish Rail gave a comprehensive straightforward national service instead of the current fragmented service which has to pay for dozens of chief executives.
Christopher Madden, LiverpoolRailways run for people not profit.
Mary Newman, LondonThe service run by the train companies in Britain is embarrassing. Nowhere else in the world is rail travel so prohibitively expensive.
Glyn Jones, DartfordEnd the farce and re-nationalise the railways. I travel to and from Cumbria by train and have never arrived on time in any direction. Also the fares are so expensive,
Cassy Firth, LeedsWords fail me.
Alan Currie, MargateThe railways should be affordable for everyone and not a shareholders’ ticket to make money.
Jamie Mascall, ConingsbyI’m signing this petition because I want them to bring British Rail back, because it was such an amazing railway company and I think it should be brought back to life.
Bruce Barnes, BradfordWhy should the UK have the most expensive and least attractive trains in Europe?
Patricia Jones, BirkenheadIt’s no joke when you can’t visit your family as much as you would like due to over-inflated fares.
Simon Pawelko, LlanelliI am a firm believer in Bring back British Rail – one railway, one train operator, one company.
Peter De Sousa, PortsmouthTrains should be easy to access and cheap for all. This is not the case with the current, failing system.
Shaun Henry, LiverpoolBring back BR, especily BR blue. It should all be about the passengers.
Paul Smith, SheffieldBring back British Rail and get rid of this joke of a railway we now have.
Robert Slater, Herne BayNationalise the entire rail system, permanently.
Anna Worthy, SunderlandRailways need to be in public ownership. We would save one billion a year.
Mike Hughes, LondonRailways now, power and water next.
Brian Marden, ObanIt seems strange to be subsidising multi-millionaires to run our rail system, yet cutting benefits for some of our most vulnerable citizens.
Valerie McIntosh, WarringtonWe need a railway system that works for the users not the shareholders.
Chris Challinor, SheffieldRationalise our railways.
