William Edmonds, HuddersfieldPrivatisation was a disaster. All it brought was private profit with the public paying more. Electricity should be re-nationalised too.
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.
Helen Ingham, LutonPrivatisation doesn’t work. Nationalisation does, if not interfered with by those with vested interests. Get the country moving and working properly again.
Graham Lester George, NottinghamInfrastructure services should be for the national good, not shareholders’.
Ian Crockford, BirminghamBritish Rail I miss you!
Margaret Garland, AylesburyThe railway network should never have been privatised in the first place.
Sue McCall, LlanfairpwllgwyngyllCheck out the pathetic rail service in North Wales. Who cares?
Lauren Hopkins, LondonI use the train frequently and am disheartened at the decreasing levels of quality of all journeys. We need to standardise the whole network as it is a disgrace.
Dave Ayres, Milton KeynesComment not needed – The problems are obvious without even looking.
Michael Cockburn, CambridgePrivatisation was a huge mistake, just driven by political dogma. New Labour broke their promise to re-nationalise. But there is still hope! Good luck!
John Nicholls, TuxfordI have always felt that it is wrong to privatise any public service and can’t wait to see the result of this petition.
Paul Hollister, StockportEnd the fraud and corruption by the City of London and the bought politicians.
Jenny Almeida, LondonThey never should have been privatised and neither should water, which, like air, should be free for all.
Pete Boor, PenzanceRailways should be state-owned and a not-for-profit industry.
Dorothy Joyce Cox, PooleKeep to one company not several in competition.
Kenneth Miller, LeedsStop propping up private firms. Let us run it from central office.
James Haley, LeedsUnified and for the public not the shareholders.
Carol Wilson, Saffron WaldenLet’s have a government with common sense. Is that too much to ask for? Apparently so.
Christopher Smith, PenzanceLet’s have a decent rail service back.
Isabelle McGoogan, ArdrossanRail network is a disgrace. I work up in Glasgow and I’m fed up with trains being cancelled, overcrowding and sky-high fares for a deplorable service.
Frank Nicholas AdamJoined up thinking is required to properly manage the structure of the privatised railway.
George Gilroy, King’s LynnPrivate profits have just left us with some of the worst infrastructure in Europe. It’s time they finished.
Edward Hudson, YorkWe need a single authority that will be responsible for a unified network. This is the only way that customers will be provided with the service they need and deserve.
Doreen Stevenson, PortsmouthPrivate ownership only ever lines the pockets of shareholders and never serves the public needs.
Lynn Lansbury, SandownWin votes by doing something for the people.
Yasser Sheikh, High WycombeIt’s terrible. I take so many train journeys a year and it’s all Virgin Trains – so expensive.
Jaymee Smith, RedhillIt will never be the same as when I worked for British Rail.
Kathryn Read, NottinghamPlease can we get things joined up again. I am fed up with a rail network using different operators and shopped out maintenance. It was better before.
Elaine Dyson, HolywellThis is a public service. Give it back to the public.
Tim Singleton, Ashton-under-LyneBring it back.
