Adam Stock, NewcastleLet’s stop the corporate benefits that gives us poor management, rip-off fares and a terrible ticketing system. Re-nationalise now.
Mike Sullivan, HytheBring back British Railways. The train operating companies are not offering value for money and their super inflated tickets are ripping us all off.
Michael Perre, PaddingtonListen to the people.
Bill Pearson, Houghton-le-SpringIf it’s running well and at a profit why oh why privatise it again?
Dario Giudici, StevenageI joined British Rail in 1983 and am still in the industry today. I can’t believe we pay people to run a service so that they can make a profit.
Val Bodels, WirralThe rail system no longer works for passengers but just for profits. The pricing system is a farce. Please bring back something we can trust.
Sylvia Italici, LondonThe trains are very expensive and do not run on time.
Lauren Godfrey, BrightonRail reform is economic reform for the UK.
Henry Buckle, ActonWe talked about this idea over beer years ago. I can’t believe it’s happening.
Elaine Green, St AlbansThe rail network is being destroyed by profiteers.
Peter Stoodley, BradfordNo compensation for any of the companies currently running the railways. They’ve had quite enough already.
Robin Watkins, SudburyAs a former revenue protection officer, I strongly support this campaign as I’ve seen the impact of privatisation first hand and it has destroyed staff morale.
Kathy Fletcher, CoventryRail is an essential part of the national infrastructure.
Matthew Workman, WarringtonI work in Signalling Operations for Network Rail. Schedule 8 payments are government subsidies to private companies. Bring back British Rail.
Bernard Miller, LondonIf the Germans can start voting to bring their utilities back into public ownership, so should we but with much greater democratic involvement.
H R Anderson, FalkirkPrivatisation is theft.
Janice Scott, NorwichCheap tickets should not depend on finding the best website. They should be easily and openly available to all.
Tim Boxley, GraffhamIt can’t come soon enough.
Azucena Marin-Young, CoventryIt’s disgraceful, the prices of a train journey. Stop ripping the people off.
David Treadgold, PurfleetI couldn’t agree more. These franchises are run as businesses and not as a public service.
Raymond Harris, DunstablePrivate rail companies show us just how good BR was on a quarter of the subsidy. BR’s problem-no kickbacks to Tories
Jake Morris, CambridgePublic transport is so crucial for some people and yet it’s so expensive and not run as a public service. We need this.
Paul Ibbott, BedfordI have always believed in a nationally-owned rail system which provides a value service and removes road travel misery. Just visit the Hauptbahnhof in Berlin and weep.
Wesley Barrett, BrightonWe cannot let this continue any more and we need to stand up and be counted.
Jennifer Gray, SelbyI travelled with British Rail for many years and it was always good value and the best service. They should have left British Rail alone.
Barrie Anderson, WareI’m sure a re-nationalised railway would be better value for the taxpayer. Cut out all the overpaid lawyers writing unnecessary contracts between too many businesses.
Susan Francis, ChesterfieldIt needs to be done now before we own absolutely nothing and everyone holding us to ransom.
Frank Nicholas AdamThe sorry saga of railway franchising was exemplified by Connex.
Maureen Smith, Sutton ColdfieldI preferred British Rail. It would be more cohesive, good for people, lower fares.
Colin Flowerday, HoltBritish Railways ran a reliable, fast and reasonably priced train service. We want it back as these private companies are completely useless. Bring back British Rail.
