Richard Jenkins, BridgendActually, I would want a Welsh Rail. I’m Welsh, not British, but bring back ownership of vital services to the people.
Martin Davison, ChesterfieldPrivatisation has increased costs for passengers and taxpayers. Also foreign ownership means profits are siphoned out of the UK and we lose tax.
Paul O’Neill, LondonBring back loco-hauled trains. Reduce speeds for better comfort. No to HS2.
Reece Watren, SheffieldIt’s horrible to be sat on a 142.
Claire Sheehan, BlackpoolAvanti West Coast are incompetent and not able to run the north west rail service.
Christine Oliver, WellsI’ve used trains for 60+ years. It’s gone downhill since privatisation. We need a national strategy and organisation that puts people and the national interest first.
Paul Taylor, SheffieldI believe that privately run trains do not have the customer’s comfort at heart and just want to make as much profit out of us. We want reasonably priced tickets.
Douglas Holmes, WallaseyErnie Marples was the Wallasey MP (Tory) was the man who gave Beeching the job of destroying the railway system many years ago. I’m glad to say that we no longer have him.
Callum Smith, LondonWe simply must re-nationalise to guarantee fair fares for all.
Andrew Marsh, PolegateTransport is an essential public service and should be run by the state for the people, not to line the pockets of shareholders.
Jon Keen, HullIf we don’t own it, we can’t improve it.
Barrie Evans, Barry IslandTo re-nationalise seems common sense, so let’s do it.
Richard Roberts, HuntingdonI fully support the re-nationalisation of all public services. The clue as to where ownership should be is in the description. Germany and France recognise this.
Vincent Barker, NorthamptonEven with a 16-25 railcard I can barely afford to travel by train to work. There’s barely any point in my travelling to work with the amount I spend on train fares.
Steve Leigh, BexleyheathI saw first-hand the mess that privatisation created. It has not got better. Returning the rail network to public ownership is the only way forward that makes any sense.
Rob Fleay, DerbyshireAll this cheap tickets marketing spin is an illusion.
Catherine Devenish, TivertonWhy does the Labour Party not represent us?
James McArdle, BrightonLiving in Brighton, I have seen first-hand how ridiculously terrible and increasingly expensive beyond belief the rail networks have got in Britain.
John Newton, CambridgeI’m not a regular passenger, but have always been against all privatisations of public entities.
Steven Baker, OxfordshireIt’s a terrible service: short form trains, technical problems every day, standing room only, new timetables. Appalling.
John Simons, SouthamptonThe entire nation could have cheap, reliable transport if run properly.
Jesse Mensah, LondonBring back BR along with Network Southeast, Intercity and Regional Railways, and end franchising for the good of the people, not profit.
Reuben Reynolds, LeicesterEnd “profit before people”. Kill privatisation. Re-nationalise now.
Judith Stockwell, KetteringGive the railways back to the people.
John Taylor, IlkestonServices for people, not profits. No super railway – upgrade the existing one.
Lynda Haydney, St Leonards on SeaBring back BR. We overpay for a terrible service. Privatisation should never have happened.
Gail Bishop, CaterhamPrivatisation – lining shareholder’s pockets since 1995.
Georgina Norton, SandbachPlease bring back British Rail to the British people who already pay for it. At the moment it lines fat cats’ pockets.
Joan Briggs, North ShieldsEast Coast has run a great service. Why not allow them to continue and others join them?
David McLaine, GlenrothesMy son travels into London every day. Not only is the cost prohibitive but the coaches are appalling. So I can think of no better reason to give this petition my fullest.
