Vincent MorrisPut it right. Like everything else, capitalism has gone so so wrong.
James Ellis, ChesterfieldStop HS2.
Angus Brown, EdinburghRe-nationalise British Rail!
Charles Coughlan, Leighton BuzzardEveryone: let your friends and family know about this petition. Privatisation of the railway has made our country worse and now we have to fix it.
Mike Evans, LeominsterPrivatisation rejected by Margaret Thatcher. But John Major pushed it through – with the most ridiculous structure anyone could have devised.
Keith Foulds, SheffieldThe proof is in East Coast Trains.
Lewis Selby, SwindonGet rid of privatisation and bring back British Rail like the good old days.
Cora Luscombe, TauntonPublic transport needs to be affordable and it’s not. Let’s stop paying private shareholders and bring British Rail back.
Gordon Daunt-Jones, RochesterOne of the worst government decisions ever made.
Fred Potter, DundeeIt should never have been privatised. We are allowing the rail companies to rip us off in return for poor services.
Glyn Morgan, LiverpoolWe currently subsidise the rail network more heavily than we did when we owned it yet they still make a profit. That’s our money and it should be re-invested.
Amanda Barr, MalpasI wholeheartedly believe this is one of the best things to do for this country, removing barriers to travel, increase ability to earn and pay more taxes.
A TanServices by the people for the people. Over £2 for a cup of tea on some of our trains.
Barbara Cowle, WirralYes to public ownership of British Rail. We have sold off too many of our utilities that should be owned by the taxpayers. Water, Gas, Electricity are all owned by foreigners.
Ben Evans, Leamington SpaBring back British Rail.
Keith Rogers, BirminghamPeople before profit.
Andrew Morrison, SheffieldThe most expensive rail network in Europe by far. Enough is enough. It’s time to take it back off the ‘fat cats’.
Adrienne Grimes, LeedsIt’s another thing that should never have been sold in the first place.
Christine Ogilvie, BexleyOur fragmented rail system does not work. Bring back a National Transport System.
Marijn Van der Meulen, NoordwijkRunning essential services for profit is immoral.
Angela Gardner, ManchesterI am embarrassed by the shambolic services, the prices astronomical and will not encourage car users to leave the road.
Nick Chincotta, EastbournePlease bring it back as service sucks on a daily basis.
Mike Powell, SeascaleI fully agree with the concept of an integrated public service. British Rail – HST, East and West Coast Electrification, so many successes.
Jane Thurnell-Read, PenzanceWe need a reliable, safe rail system for so many different reasons. This fragmentation makes no sense at all.
Dennis Lyons, RayleighThe gas and electric and water companies too.
Anna-Katharina Straumann, ZurichSince my birth in 1977, I have been in and out of the UK several times a year. Train journeys are far too expensive and the entire system over complicated.
Marie Pettigrew, NottinghamThe only part of the railways to make a profit is the bit in government hands. We are supporting the privatised bit and being fleeced on fares to pay fat dividends.
Karl Eaton, LichfieldRe-nationalise the railway system as soon as possible.
Solange Freitas, Rio De JaneiroI wish British Rail will be revived by 2023.
Simon Canfer, SwindonI want a rail service that I can afford to use please.
