Nancy Sands, LondonI’m fed up with shareholders getting our hard-earned money, whilst we subsidise the train companies anyway.
Joan Sanger, BeckinghamPut the railways back into public ownership. It will save money and save tax-payers’ money.
Linda Cornall, PeterboroughWe need a joined-up service.
Ben Evans, Leamington SpaBring back British Rail.
Kay Groom, KinghornI’m totally in favour of re-nationalisation. It would be better for staff, customers and the environment, as more of us would use it if it was cheaper and more efficient.
Margaret Powell, LondonThey should never have been sold off.
Shaun Hall, HalsteadSince privatisation, about the only thing which I can see which has improved is the coffee. Trains are still late, overcrowded and staggeringly expensive.
Richard Longhurst, LondonNot only the rail network but the whole of the transport network should be brought back into public hands.
Gideon Dewhirst, GuildfordBring back a fairer and more effective railway.
Jennifer Buckley, PeterboroughRe-unite British Rail.
Pauline StephensA more unified approach will give a better railway. Common sense and realism should prevail.
John Armstrong, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe railways should never have been privatised. It’s a mess.
Mora Rolley, AlnwickStart by not selling off the East Coast Line.
Jeremy Corbin, LondonPrivatisation sucks. British Rail rocks.
Dave McCrossen, St NeotsThere are certain things that should be owned by the state and not run for profit. Transport is one.
Linda Brachio, CroydonThe current privatised rail system is ridiculous. There is no competition on the privatised lines. It is just a licence to make money at the customers’ expense.
Karl Eaton, LichfieldRe-nationalise the railway system as soon as possible.
Sheila Lovett, Newton AbbotLet’s bring sense back at last.
Peter Harvey, BingleyAs a lifelong railway traveller and current user of the East Coast mainline, I am fully supportive of public ownership of the railways.
David Carr, TadleyI hope you are successful with your petition.
David Phillips, PolegateEast Coast Rail (run publicly) should be an example to all politicians. Private operators were not able to make it pay.
Robert Cartwright, AltonThe figures speak for themselves..
Linda Macfarlane, WoodbridgeI’m fed up with disjointed rail services and prices.
Jamie Newman, DidcotCut ticket prices not jobs – Network Rail Employee.
Graham Elder, GillinghamLet’s put an end to fat profits for Southeastern Trains and a thin service for passengers.
John Persey, WinscombeI remember when I could afford to ride a train.
David Rees, CaerphillyBoth privatisation and nationalisation have drawbacks, but, with forward thinking management, a re-nationalised network would serve the public far better at less cost.
Paul Pearson, ShrewsburyI hate having to wait on a platform and let trains to my destination leave, as my ticket is not valid on that service.
Robert Duff, FalkirkThe railways belong to the people, not shareholder money-rapists.
Aj Dehany, LondonWe pay far more in subsidies than we would if we just owned the railways. The service is disconnected and prohibitively expensive.
