Joan Foye, OssettPrivatisation has caused inferior service. The railways and the power companies should be re-nationalised.
Robert Lindsey, LondonTrain overdue.
Jeff Coombs, BournemouthBring back British Rail and make Britain’s railways something to be proud of.
Ned Lane-Barry, LeedsBring back British Rail.
Marion Ralls, EdinburghI remember the national British Rail. It was safe, reliable and comfortable. Information about routes, times and fares was easily accessible by phone, or at stations.
Jonathan Dore, Downham MarketA rail network is a natural monopoly, and one that we have no choice but to use. As such it makes sense, and justice, for it to be run for public, not private, benefit.
Mark Murphy, LondonIt’s time to admit that rail privatisation is fundamentally flawed.
Alexander Hedley, Newcastle-upon-Tynewhy on earth did the Tories sell off the East Coast main line except for political dogma and to line the pockets of their cronies?
David Jones, WidnesHappy to join the petition. The service at present for passengers is not good enough and prices are too high for the poor quality service.
Pamela Fellows, BrighouseIn my view none of the utilities or public transport should have been privatised.
Steve Smith, EastwoodBring back cheaper fares.
Alan Howell, LeedsRailways are for the people and should be an extensive network bringing communities together and should be affordable for all.
Sue Budd, FalmouthI miss British Rail.
Nick Gregory, DeesideWe live in a beautiful country and I want to share it with my kids, but the cost of rail travel is obscene and prohibitive. Let us have our railways back.
Ian Cowmeadow, LondonThe privatisation of national infrastructure has a conflict of interest at its core. Private companies are obliged to maximise shareholder returns above all else.
Wesley WhiteI’d like to nationalise everything. It works in Europe.
Godfrey Nyandoro, LeedsThe parcelling out of essential services to the private sector should have never been allowed in the first place. The shareholder has one thing and one thing only – profit.
Leo Nikolaidis, BristolSurely there’s no-one who regularly uses the trains who thinks that the pricing is fair.
Trev Davis, GloucesterThis would stop us being ripped off by all the different train companies and the profits staying in this country.
Simon Boydell, ManchesterI’m sick of fares rip-offs to pay for share-holder bonuses. Renationalise it now.
Steven Dominey, East CowesNationalise now.
Richard Jewell, Worcester ParkIt should never have been privatised in the first place.
Andrew O’Leary, TilburyBring British Rail and slam-door trains.
Liz Moon, LetchworthAs soon as possible.
Ruth Charlton, IlkleyTransport for the people.
Sue Macfadyen, HaddingtonWe need a rail service that is not at the mercy of profiteering companies.
Paul Hegarty, HuddersfieldRe-nationalise the railways, and cherish them the way other countries do.
Peter Karch, NottinghamThe private companies receive a level of subsidy BR could only dream of and deliver an inferior service with higher fares and antiquated rolling stock.
Thomas Edwin Eddleston, OldhamThey should never have been privatised in the first place.
Matt Harradine, BristolServices don’t need to make money. They are what you spend money on.
