Boyd Fletcher, BasildonToo expensive, not enough infrastructure investment, too much is paid in subsidies to companies who don’t provide a good service. Re-nationalise the railways.
Lucy Sherston, BrightonI’m incredibly fed up with paying over the odds for a service I rely on that is cancelled/delayed the majority of the time, with little warning.
Bryn Thomas, TruroNormal rail is quite honestly awful. Bringing back British Rail would be great, so yeah, signing this.
Maggie Corder, YorkOutrageous rises in fares every year – to pay shareholders – make rail travel impossible for many people. The most expensive fares in Europe, if not the world.
Phil Clarke, NuneatonFormer BR employee seeks re-nationalised network for constructive relationship.
Katie Harnett, LondonI’m sick and tired of the greed.
Norman Clegg, BlackpoolBring back our low fare railways God Save British Rail.
Rodney Cooper, LochaberOur Railways must be brought back into one centralised state-run concern but not hampered by meddling civil servants in Department of Transport which helped bring down BR.
Jean Hall, DerbyshireWe deserve a National Rail Service.
Neil Cameron-Rollo, ClareThe current set-up is a farce, over-priced, difficult to use and set up only for the benefit of the shareholders.
Alex Pieroni, LondonPoor people can’t afford to travel. Sort this mess out.
Terry Thompson, NewarkThe East Coast line has shown the private failures how to make a profit.
Chris Henry, GloucesterDo this now before a state-run foreign company takes over or broken up and sold to TOCs.
Mike Campbell, SalisburyIt is a nonsense that a so-called First World country does not have a public train network.
William Quick, BristolPrivatisation has channelled public funds into private hands and left us with one of the most expensive and least efficient railways. We must renationalise now.
Martin Forster, WashingtonWhat doesn’t work doesn’t work no matter how we might will or wish it too.
Harry Bird, SheffieldThe proof of the pudding is in the eating. Since moving back into public ownership the East Coast line is thriving once more. Nothing more needs saying really.
Bobby Bowden, St HelensPrivatisation is failing. Bring back British Rail.
Michael Gale, LondonPrivate monopolies don’t work. There is only one rail network and there should be one public organisation running it.
Frank Harvey, BlackpoolWe had a main line from the 1880s to 2003. Now we go to Preston to get to London.
Stewart Brown, GlasgowI started with BR just before all the fat cats got fatter with privatisation. The railway loses a fortune on all the contractors, middle men etc.
Karla Harva, BirminghamUK plc.
Lewys Hall, NottinghamPrivatisation has been a total mess, providing a second class service and extortionate fares.
Trevor Castle, StevenageExtortion all for profits and no consideration for the customer.
Susanna Farley, New CrossIt is totally ludicrous that taxpayers fund the profits of the privatised rail system. We are not a charity for the rich.
Ryan Watson, ScunthorpePrivatisation has been nothing short of a disaster. Abolish the Treasury now!
Jack McRobbie, IpswichTrain services need to be better in every way so why not re-nationalise?
Helen Morton, LondonRe-nationalising the railways is the only way to make it for the people not just for private profit.
Nick Prince, StaffordshireI love traveling by train but now, even with my rail card, it is becoming too expensive to use the West Coast and yet the fares still keep rising.
David Graham, West YorkshireThe East Coast line shows how it should be done.
