All utilities should be run on a non-profit basis. Stop this gravy train for people who have more money than they know what to do with.

Anne Callaghan, Blantyre

Wonderful campaign. I love my badge!

Elisabeth Winkler

Some things should never have been privatised, i.e. transport, utilities.

Andrew McGill, Romford

The railways were once the envy of the world – now it’s a mess. The pricing strategies make no sense. Plough profits back into British Rail, not shareholders’ pockets.

Patricia Reed, North Shields

Now would be a good time to re-nationalise British Rail.

Jeremy Tothill, Oldbury

Public services are public assets.

David Fearnhead, Nottingham

After all the corruption, the mess-ups, the inflated fares, is it not time we brought back British Rail? Yes, it is.

Michael Wright, Workington

Nationalise now.

Steven Dominey, East Cowes

The state’s washed its hands of the railways, thereby letting down the people, turning the system into a money-making scam instead of one of the best in the World.

Suhail Noorani, London

I’d love to see the back of all these brands and businesses.

Mark Boulton, London

We keep subsidising failed private rail companies. Why? Nationalise.

Glenn Dove, Manchester

Great campaign. Now a serious outline of proposals are required from a think tank.

Marc Collinson, Bangor

Stop foreign companies milking our rail passengers to subsidise European rail fares.

Robert Garrett, Ashford

Bring back British Rail. It should never have been privatised.

Kenneth Phelps, Worthing

Privatised rail in the UK has failed. It has failed to keep fares down, and it has failed to deliver reliable services.

Pieter Cornel, London

I can’t even get to work due to planned engineering works, nevermind the unplanned disruption! Why do we pay for this utter rubbish?

Daniel Edwards, Hurstpierpoint

I hate how the UK’s train network is falling to bits.

Nik Devlin, London

Too often the prices are too high and the quality of service too low. Bring back British Rail.

Jennifer Duckitt, Bradford

Re-nationalise all utilities and services.

Steven Traynor, Redcar

Let’s have the trains for the public, not shareholders etc.

Elizabeth Blood, Buxton

The East Coast line has been amazing since it went back into public ownership. Why change something that is working so well.

Jane Geraghty, Newark

Trains are a public service, not an excuse to make a profit.

Amila Y’mech, Tedstone Delamere

Solidarity with all rail activity.

Kenneth Toulson, Sheffield

I hope you are successful with your petition.

David Carr, Tadley

I have to get the train in to school everyday and the services are ridiculous.

Tomm Taylor, Manchester

Time to re-nationalise. Private rail is another example of the horrible public impact of right wing economic policy. It was very obviously never going to work.

Jaime Warne, London

It’s a total disgrace that it was sold off in the first place.

Geoffrey Rose, Fareham

Bring back British Rail to save our railways.

Shirley Clough, Blackpool

For a streamlined rail experience, bring back British Rail.

Geoff Hayley, Lincoln

Southern’s ongoing failure to provide a reliable service is deplorable. It’s clear the government don’t care about the travelling public and are happy to fund our misery.

John Lucas, Middleton-On-Sea
