Joan Maclellan, EdinburghSave East Coast from privatisation.
Michelle Hunt, BristolI’m not a big train user, just fed up with being ripped off by privatisation. It’s the same with Royal Mail.
Micheal McClelland, LondonI’ve never felt safe on the railways since privatisation.
Paul Wilkins, VerwoodOur rail industry is a strategic asset and should never have been privatised.
Georgie Stagg, LondonI remember the days of British Rail and want them back. I am sick of private companies raking in loads for doing nothing. £1800 a year and I don’t get a seat. Enough.
Howard Ellis, NorthallertonBring the railways back into public ownership.
Rupert Hildyard, YorkPrivatisation has failed. Railways are a natural monopoly and should be in public ownership.
Thomas Harker, MarlboroughI’m a young guy who can’t drive a car because I have epilepsy. There is no way I will be able to afford the ridiculous rail fares that we have today if I get a job.
Stephanie Dearden, LondonStop selling our services to Germany and Holland. They wouldn’t like it if we interfered with their railways.
David Wallace, BirminghamThe railways already belonged to us. The government have no right selling them off. Where did the money go to after the sell off ?
David Robson, OtleyPrivatisation has had its day.
Rod Paddock, MelkshamIf only the government had thrown the money to British Rail that’s been handed to the private owners and their shareholders, then Britain’s railways would be second to none.
Sharon Bixby, LondonI sign because this is the only way forward.
Ian Massey, ManchesterProfit over service equals major problems – hours and hours and hours of wasted time, lateness for work impacting on productivity etc. Bring back British Rail.
Harrold NoskBring it back.
Rebecca Dobson, Tunbridge WellsThe privatisation of the railways was an ideological move by the Tories. Privatisation only works where there is competition but our rail operators have a monopoly.
Gillian Morgan, DoncasterRail transport and its infrastructure should be nationally-owned and run in a cost-effective way, not making profit for shareholders.
Nick Monaghan, CastlefordRe-nationalisation is the right and only way to bring the railways back to a real form of public transport, accessible to and affordable by everyone.
Elizabeth Thomson, EdinburghWe want a re-unified national rail network run for people not private profit.
Austin Pacitto, LondonImmediate re-nationalisaton of BR. Fairer fares, standard prices and no large payouts to fat cats.
Ethan Storey, ChichesterDown with Southern.
Thomas Laxton, SheffieldWhy should it cost so much more for me to travel by rail than car? Why should the taxpayer be subsidising the profits of a private company?
Andrea Chapman, LondonAn excellent idea. Here’s hoping.
Susan Fulbrook, WorksopTravel with British Rail was easy. There were occasional problems but it was much better.
Gillian Callaby, WorksopAs a frequent rail traveller I find the various tariffs immensely frustrating. A fare should remain reasonably constant.
Chris Sullivan, DartfordTrains are delayed every day and we are just supposed to accept it. At work I get 10 minutes to not be classed as late but a train has to be 30 minutes late for a refund.
Jill Malenoir, AndoverSince the sell-off, prices have gone sky high. Occasional travellers cannot afford the fares, trains are crowded, even at off-peak times.
Paula Hannaby, BelperRail travel for the people, profits returned to the service not shareholders, just like it used to be. Bring back British Rail.
Sharon Kelly, LondonPeople before profit.
Caryl Hughes, StockportBring back the utility companies into public ownership too.
