Peter Steckles, RochdaleWay overdue.
Andy Ruffell, AshfordIf I want to travel to London (36 minutes away) It costs me £36. £1 per minute, that’s crazy.
Joan Innes, HuddersfieldIt has not benefited passengers having numerous rail companies, nor is it ethical for these to be profit-making, even though I myself might benefit through my pension.
Gloria Percy, DurhamCertain things should not be de-nationalised and BR was definitely one. The East Coast line has been in public hands for a while now and it’s bloody great.
Julie Harrison, HertfordLet us spread the word about this petition.
Reg Coles-Watson, FolkestonePrivatising trains and buses in the UK was a huge mistake and disaster that should never have happened. Re-nationalise them now and restore the Great in Britain.
John Midcalf, DarlingtonWe once had the best railway in the world. We now have to go by bus.
Paul Simmonds, NorwichI want a British Rail owned by and run for the benefit of employees and the public not private vested interests who value profit above lives.
Sharmilla Beezmohun, LondonThis is a really important cause to support.
Sam Hilson, LlanelliAwful service which is often late, combined with insufficient capacity due to the lack of carriages put on by the operator.
Kevin Smith, BathTrain users have been ripped off for too long.
Christopher O’Hara, GlasgowBring it back, as all the profit is going out of the industry and into the back pockets of the share holders.
Geoff IngramMy father-in-law was on a train broken down for 4.5hrs. It took him13.5hrs to cross London, after which he was fuming and died of a heart attack.
Duncan Harris, Melton MowbrayPrivatisation has been an unmitigated disaster.
Russell Woodward, NottinghamThe privatisation of British Rail provided absolutely zero benefits to the British people and it should be re-nationalised.
Pete Leyden, Y BermoDemand the Labour party puts it in their election manifesto.
Andrew Wilkes, CardiffNationalise British Rail.
Jonathan Brind, ChathamPrivate rail simply means private monopolies, and monopolies subsidised by the state.
Kathleen Rixon, LiverpoolThe current rail services are not very good and usually quite expensive, BR was much better.
Glenn O’ConnorI recently returned to Britain after a decade of living abroad and was flabbergasted at what commuters are paying for train transport.
Hannah Dewhirst, OxfordA re-nationalised railway will bring back sensible fares, accountability and a secure and happy workforce. Who can argue with that?
Fred Green, CanterburyPublic ownership is best for the people and country.
Stephen Bell, LiverpoolThe Tories only invest in themselves. Water, gas, electricity, fresh air has not been sold because there is none. Rail networks are ours.
David Freear, LancasterState-owned rail travel in Germany, France, Austria, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Portugal, Denmark, Czech Republic, Russia. We are fools. Sign up.
Steven McGovern, GlasgowEnd the rip-off prices.
Angela Marsh, WiganIt’s in the name – British rail. It should be run by Britain. I’m sick of over-priced tickets for trains that don’t show up.
Jennie C-Knight, CromerPrivatisation drives up prices and encourages companies to make too much money out of a public service.
Peter Sims, BasingstokeThe buses and trains need to be run as one system with the aim of getting people from anywhere in the country to anywhere else.
Robert Taylor, BarnsleyBack into public ownership now.
Sean DurneyEnd rewarding shareholder profits for high price tickets and cost driven, unreliable services. Invest in the railways and get cars and trucks off the roads.
