Alice Lucas, BrightonWe have suffered for far too long with an inadequate and exorbitantly overpriced rail service. Year on year we pay more for a service that is failing us at every corner.
Mark Zaretti, LeedsPeople before profit. The country needs an affordable rail network.
Chris Davies, EastbourneStop the complete annihilation of the guard’s role from McNullty, the government and shareholders.
David Harbud, BexleyPublic services are best run by the state, rather than as a way of squeezing profit out of the hardworking public.
Dominic Gook, BasingstokeBring it back.
Susan Green, LondonGive us back our railways.
Jenny Liston, OtleyLook to the publicly-owned East Coast railway for how to run an excellent well-costed service.
Norah Stuchfield, FleetwoodIt would be nice to have the trains back running from Fleetwood to other parts of the country again so that people can travel to work.
Marilyn Moore, DarlingtonAs a child (I’m now 65) I travelled everywhere by train. I’ve been on trains across Europe in recent years and found them affordable and efficient but I can’t afford them here.
Robert Mills, NewburyAs a former rail worker I don’t believe privatisation works. Railways should be a service not a business
Kelly Norman, WellingtonExtortionate prices for horrendous services.
Stuart Anderson, NuneatonI believe in an integrated system that is owned by the government, not a fragmented railway.
Douglas Miller, NorthallertonPrivatisation of British Rail has not worked. It costs the country more, does not provide a service and so it is time to change.
Jason George Walker, Stoke-on-TrentNationalise all public services.
Joseph Kendall, LiverpoolWe need to bring back British Railways, not British Rail. We need to reverse Beeching and build new, specific high-speed lines to increase capacity.
John Brown, LondonYes, bring back national rail. It was ours in the first place. What right did they have to sell it off? They didn’t ask me.
Nathaniel Higgins, Manchesterconstant strikes affecting my social hours with my other friends. I never had the experience of a nationalised network, but from what I’ve seen, it was never this bad.
Betsy Barker, Berwick-upon-TweedYes, get rid of private rail companies.
Richard Norris, HullFor too long the profits of these private companies have been fed back into the pockets of shareholders at the expense of the British public.
Christine Laugesen, LeylandI remember British Rail before it was all sold off. It worked well. Since privatisation we’ve returned to the Victorian era. Re-nationalise, now.
Richard Roberts, HuntingdonI fully support the re-nationalisation of all public services. The clue as to where ownership should be is in the description. Germany and France recognise this.
Olivia Sykes, HuddersfieldI’m honoured to sign.
Vic CurtisThey should never have been privatised, and Beeching was a wrong move.
John Gibbins, NottinghamThe East Coast Mainline before Virgin/Stagecoach was worker-run and made £1 billion in 5 years. A better service and low complaints.
Trevor Lewis, LondonReturn all public services back to people, ownership and management.
Peter Mullen, ManchesterHave some courage and re-nationalise the railways instead of behaving like a plastic Tory.
Leanne Bennett, SunderlandBritain once owned many fabulous things. Now we barely own the air we breath.
Charlotte Graham, HuddersfieldPlease bring it all back to reality.
Paul Hill, ColchesterThatcher’s scum children will one day be shown by the people of this country that we come before their all-engrossing profits, which only benefit them and not us.
Krystal Garnett, MerseysideInvest in the rail network as part of our strategic national infrastructure.
