Fair prices from a fair company. Bring back British Rail.

Lisa Potter, Nuneaton

The 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..

Jim Cobdun, Manchester

Nationalisation without compensation.

George Walker, Barrhead

Happy to join the petition. The service at present for passengers is not good enough and prices are too high for the poor quality service.

David Jones, Widnes

What’s good enough for East Coast and most of Europe should be good enough for the UK.

G R Parker, Tadcaster

The answer to the failure of privatisation is not more privatisation.

Steven Palmer, Swansea

The privatisation of public services experiment is an unequivocal failure. It’s time to take it all back.

Kim Grais, Leeds

Bring back common sense rail travel.

William Kerr, Ellon

The franchises are just a way for the rich to become richer.

Andrew French, Caldicot

It should be part of society and not a money cow.

Charles Scott, Falkirk

I remember British Rail. It was great!

Jonathan Grain, London

Privatisation has not worked. Re-nationalise all essential industries (not only BR but all energy companies and local transport companies too).

Mark Smith, Leicester

Privatisation is a disaster.

Mike Kelley, Derby

End the corruption that is East Midlands Trains, the adding on of fares due to engineering work because stops are not covered on your ticket. In short nationalise it.

Jonathan Goddard, Kettering

Not only Bring back British Rail, but bring back the branch lines as well.

Gabrielle Seymour, London

Safety/customer service and limitless profit simply don’t mix.

Glen Arnold, Rugeley

There are far too many different companies operating the railways. It’s far too complicated.

Sueton Sayers, Wolverhampton

It is high time.

Nigel Rush, Llanelli

Yes, keep the mega-profits in this country. Come on – it makes sense.

Oak Weld, Colchester

Come on. It was a terrible idea to privatise. Everyone can see that now. Government: Easy brownie points on offer here. Bring it back.

Graham Lenton, Tadley

I’m fed up of this untouchable extortion racket.

Mark Cox, London

It’s time to end the culture of private profits but socialised losses and subsidies.

Ashwin Vyas, Bingley

There should be a national standard and national investment for today’s transportation needs. There should be re-investment instead of private profits.

Giselle Frank, London

Speaks for itself

Mark Hyne, Liskeard

Let the people benefit from the railway.

Ronald Cross, Warrington

Bring back British Rail. It’s much more reliable.

Catriona Bracker, Brechin

Improve the connections of the trains and make them run on time.

Alex Baxter, Harwich

They should never have been privatised in the first place. That was a transfer of wealth from the people of the UK to a few business people with no real returns.

John Edwards, Edinburgh

This action is long overdue.

Paul Buckley, Leeds
