Mary Newman, LondonThe service run by the train companies in Britain is embarrassing. Nowhere else in the world is rail travel so prohibitively expensive.
Julia Inch, EnfieldBritish Rail belonged to us before the sell-off and privatisation but we want it back nationalised and belonging to us again.
Luke Hlozek, ShireoaksBring low fares and a sense of pride back to our railways.
Angela Dignan, SheffieldWe used to have decent, relatively affordable and accountable public services such as rail before the days of privatisation with shoddy service and sky-high prices.
Caroline McArthur, HuntingdonThe present pricing system with all the different companies is far too complicated and unfair.
Mavis Childs, SwindonWe need to take British Rail back now. Privatisation has not worked and is costing the taxpayer and users far more.
Jamie Stokes, WinchesterIt is time to bring back British Rail for the better of Britain’s rail industry.
Gary Linney, YorkBetter for all. British Rail must be put back into public ownership.
Tom Faulkner, EastbourneNothing but delays and strikes on Southern. But fares still keep rising. Privatisation is not helping passengers.
Andrew Hall, ErithBring back British Rail. Privatisation does not work.
Les Atkinson, Newcastle-upon-TyneWe have had enough of incompetent fat cats ruining our rail infrastructure.
Joe Kinglake, ManchesterWithout a doubt the most unreliable trains I’ve ever experienced in the world. Terrible fare rip-off for terrible service.
Dylan Steward, WorcesterBring back British Rail.
Peter Turnbull, Turners HillAs it now costs more taxpayers’ money (in real terms) with privatisation, it will be cheaper to re-nationalise (and much better.)
Margaret Havercroft, HarrogateKeep British Rail ours.
Glyn Mills, BridgendIt’s never worked. Everything over priced.
Dom Sellars, ElyPaying almost £9 every day to go to college is simply ridiculous.
Bill Porter, LiverpoolStop destroying our magnificent railways and heritage just to make a financial killing.
Noelle Berney, Newcastle-upon-TyneWhy must everything British be privatised or sold to other nations?
Kevin Wilson, LeedsPrivatisation of the railways has been a disaster for rail users with rising fares and the lack of investment that was promised.
Chris Straiton, BrightonPlease return the profits back into the railways and not the pockets of others.
Daniel Jeter, TruroBring it back.
Alan Freeman, LeedsWe only have the current situation because of the Thatcherite obsession with private enterprise for all things.
Martin Rawson, DerbyEast Coast Mainline proves it can be done. High quality service run for passengers not shareholders’ profit.
John Jones, BreconI cannot understand why there are only circa 26,000 signatures given the massive support for this campaign.
Terry Hanley, St HelensI used to be a footplate staff on the BR, and it worked like clockwork. Stationmasters made sure we were on time.
Arthur Simpkin, HassocksNationalising the railway will lower the cost on the taxpayer and lower fares. Having 2000 different companies is a mess. Bring back British Rail.
Gareth Bull, HoveI live in the Southern network area, British Rail cannot come back soon enough.
Brian McCauley, ShorehamNo more.
Irene Jones, Newcastle-upon-TyneWhat exactly does this country own? Answers on a postage stamp please, if you can afford one.
