Sam Parkins, HuddersfieldPublic transport should be public, not private.
Michael John Rutland, Stockton-on-TeesI’m fed up with the awful trains that run in our region (Northern Rail).
Jon Rudge, OrmskirkI fully support any movement with the intention of bringing transport or utilities back under public ownership.
Stefan Lewicki, HarrogateBring back sensible ticket pricing and booking.
Kevin Jordan, CoalvilleI’m badly in need of a railway from Leicester to Burton. This can help us. Keep up the good work.
Robert Boyd, GlasgowStop the fares rip-off. Bring back under government control.
John Lock, Olney, Milton KeynesThis is the only way forward before foreign companies buy up all the silver in this country. Keep British Railways British.
Elin Gibbon, Wigginton, YorkSave our railway.
Peter Hanson, St HelensWe should concentrate on the good points of British Rail instead of the curly sandwiches put down.
Allan Robinson, SussexWe need a railway that’s a source of pride not profit.
Roxana Anniuk, Philadelphia, USAFrequent travellers need decent fares.
Mary Price, WorthingTo replace highly trained guards with glorified customer service operatives is ridiculous and an insult to rail users.
Kevin Rouse, LutonI fully support this petition.
Jenny Sergeant, PontefractWe should be investing public money in service improvement not private sector profit and shareholder dividends.
Ian Cumming, Newton MearnsWhy don’t the Labour party back this? Why, it might get them some votes.
Michael Smith, EnfieldUnite the railways and make it better for customers and staff alike.
Dylan Steward, WorcesterBring back British Rail.
Thomas Marshall, OxfordI pay more and more extortionate amounts for an ever less reliable train service. How long must this continue before we admit that privatisation is a failure?
S TuffhamThe government had no right to privatise British Rail – and without our permission. Where does Cameron get off?
Tim Williams, SloughAs someone who worked on the railway, what was once a reasonably good network
Barry Hewland, BrightonThe sooner the better. Stop fat cats ruining our country.
S Blickem, CambridgeTrying to buy a railcard and finding out how restrictive tickets trains and times are is like swimming in treacle and I still have not succeeded several hours later.
Andrew Howes, WinchesterAlso save our post and re-nationalise water and save the NHS.
Debra Philpott, Haywards HeathI’m speechless.
Hilda Sacranie, HartlepoolCertain essential utilities are best operated by Government who are responsible to the electorate, not shareholders. East Coast has proved it.
Ian Henden, FarehamA national asset, which is for every citizen’s benefit, should belong to the nation, aiming to break even.
Derek Jones, TyldesleyThe so called privatisation is costing the tax payer more than the nationalised railway ever did with duplication of jobs. Surely it’s time to stop this nonsense?
John Pulman, LondonInfrastructure should be publicly-owned and run.
D Mackay, East KilbrideApart from anything else, it is allowing foreign companies to own our infrastructure which should not be allowed.
Jim Cobdun, ManchesterThe whole point of privatisation is to create competition, making it a completely inappropriate solution for trains where there’s no choice when travelling from A to B..
