Ian Gornall, PrestonPrivatise it now. Let’s get back to being a real railway again.
Saffron Swansborough, HerstmonceuxI heard about this campaign group on the Today programme recently. The spokesperson was terrific. I sympathise with the disgruntled Southern staff too.
Jason Gilzean, HertfordshireTime to stop the rot.
J W, GloucesterI support re-nationalisation.
Yasmin Osborn, SheffieldIf we re-nationalise the train service then maybe the price of a ticket will reflect the service.
Gareth Williams, WenvoeWe need cheaper fares and profits ploughed back into the system. Shareholders should be supporting the system now not the taxpayer, unless we re-nationalise the system.
Chris Busby, CrawleyStop the chaos and fare rises. Re-unite!
Joan Fournier, HarlowThis scandalous rip-off of ordinary working people obliged to depend on the railways to commute to work must end. It is legalised extortion.
Denis Watterson, OtleyPrivatisation has been a very expensive mistake. These companies invest next to nothing and cream off great profits.
Becky Farrell, WinchesterWe have an inconsistent rail service which is greatly overpriced.
Susi Harris, Hebden BridgeI commute to work on trains three days a week. The carriages are too short and trains regularly cancelled. Surely we can do better.
Sean Diamond, LiverpoolRe-nationalisation is the only way forward. A cost-effective and fair system is what’s needed. Bring back British Rail. Privatisation sucks.
Liz Gwynne, RuncornRailways should be run to benefit the customers, not multinationals looking for a profit.
Colin Fallows, ScarboroughThe sooner the better.
Rebecca Devitt, SouthamptonRe-nationalise the railways and stop creaming off a profit for people wealthy enough not to need it.
Phillip Crosby, LondonRail companies are above the government and above their customers. They are not held responsible for their poor service. They cripple the country.
Stuart Gray, TrowbridgePrivatisation has not worked.
Amy Williams, South Woodham FerrersAbellio Greater Anglia are the worst company. I hope this really proves people are fed up and changes need to happen.
Dane Wotton, HoveI’m sick of being made late for work, dirty, uncomfortable trains and vastly overpriced fares that take a large and unfair chunk of my wages every month.
Derek Tingle, SheffieldPrivatisation of our railways led to a big increase in rail fares and large profits for shareholders. The government still put cash into our railways for shareholders profit.
William Paul Brook, CullercoatsBeeching got it wrong in the 60s and the Tories got it wrong in the 90s. We need a unified rail transport system for the UK.
David Black, HarrogateWe need to bring the railways back into public ownership rather than giving money to private (and mostly foreign) companies.
Thomas Eddleston, MacclesfieldPublic ownership only.
Lesley Ward, ManchesterThe trains are old, dirty and late or cancelled.
Janet Stanton, BathA united rail network under one management team is essential.
Katie Jacques, LeedsThe privatisation of the rail system was a disaster for this country. It needs to be back in public hands as quickly as possible to allow the profits back to the Treasury.
Alice Ellis-Bray, PenzanceIncredible campaign and petition! This brings me such hope. Thank you! Our earth needs affordable public transport for all!
Erica Flint, EgremontI want the integrated functioning system we used to have, at affordable prices and employing porters, line gangs, cleaners etc. – all the jobs there used to be.
Karn Purvis, Bishop’s StortfordLet’s make our rail networks as good as those in Europe and not charge the earth for them. Nationalise.
Barry Graham, YorkCritical infra-structure like railways should be owned by the public as in many European countries.
