Thomas Hallam, LondonI do want Britain’s Railway back into our hands.
Lyndon Bent, HullStop the massive waste of public subsidies to private companies. Let the parasites run the trains out of their own profits or re-nationalise them. Let them be publicly owned.
Joseph Fox, ExeterRenationalising rail would be cheaper for the government and commuters… Bring back British Rail.
Ashley Sinani, LondonBring back British Rail.
Jaxx Carter, WirralBring back British Rail for all.
Donald Bladwin, TattershallThe railways were a national asset, but now they are used to finance other countries. The railways of Britain should be for the people.
Ann Barnes, YorkBritish is best.
Monique Mahony, BrunswickNo nationally-owned amenities and services means no income for the country. Competition can be good, but not at the expense of citizens.
Cecilia Iredale, HockleyThe fact the privatised rail companies collectively receive more in subsidies than British Rail ever did is sufficient reason alone to support this petition.
Barbara Wilcox, WatfordGive the railways back to the people. There has been nothing but trouble since they were made private.
Tom TibbitsBring back the railway as a national asset for national advantage – it needs us.
Reece Churm, LeedsBring back British Rail and create a (North-South) Leeds metro line. Also no to HS2.
Daniel Roberts, BangorDoes everything have to be about shareholders and profit margins? It’s time for some fairness. Start putting customers first.
John Hatch, ExeterThey should never have been privatised like every once publicly-owned business.
Vince Wright, MacclesfieldThe current rail system is a disgrace in price and in service, over-crowded and dangerous.
David Grainger, ReadingYou know it makes sense.
Mary Theodorou, ManchesterI used to complain about BR, but now want them back.
Sophie Wildman, LondonNationalise the railways. Owned by the people, for the people.
John Lambert, LondonI miss BR.
Dave Emson, BedaleIn Europe you have high quality train networks under one direction. The UK needs to follow suit.
Simon Turner, Higham FerrersI’m living in a town those rogues took the railway away from.
Colin O’Connor, MaidstonePrivatisation has failed. It was always going to fail. Its time to finish this foolish experiment and return the railways to the people.
Derek Ramsay, SunderlandIt should be under public ownership as privatisation does not work.
Graham Bunting, NorthamptonPrivatisation of the railways has been a disaster. Bring back British Rail!
Kenneth Marshall, SpaldingFares are a rip-off. They should be reduced and charged on a mile-on-mile basis regardless of route.
Alastair Gill, BrandestonIt’s high time we put an end to profiteering and put the passenger first again.
Jim Edwards, RydeEvidence clearly shows that fragmentation has led to its being harder to use trains and much more expensive. Bring back British Railways.
Daniel Bell, SaltashPublic transport should be public infrastructure not for profit.
Susan Tresidder, LiverpoolPrivate ‘good’ public ‘bad’ is an outworn doctrine with little evidence to support it.
Syafiq Asyraf, KedahPlease show some love and respect to this beautiful word “railway”.
