Paul Oakes, North WalshamOnly the Green Party and Caroline Lucas is offering this.
Charlie Wyatt, GravesendSoutheastern sucks.
Leigh Samuels, WolverhamptonJust look at the East Coast line. The way forward is to re-nationalise.
Nigel Holmes, HullBritish Rail can operate efficiently and as a profitable business under public ownership, for the benefit of the nation. It just needs the right people in charge.
Bruce Hulley, PortsmouthPublic ownership of our railways means keeping costs down, cheaper fares and being able to provide reduced rates or free travel for pensioners.
Daniel Hadley, BrightonPrivatisation has been shown again and again to make public services worse, not better. Railways are not set up for a competitive market.
Reg Coles-Watson, FolkestonePrivatising trains and buses in the UK was a huge mistake and disaster that should never have happened. Re-nationalise them now and restore the Great in Britain.
Richard Sharp, ColchesterI strongly support this campaign. Rail travel to work is becoming prohibitive by cost and is causing an exodus of talent from the city.
Matthew Navin, ManchesterRail for the people.
Bill Pearson, Houghton-le-SpringIf it’s running well and at a profit why oh why privatise it again?
Stephen Lancey, YorkRe-nationalise the railways now. Stop private companies draining vital money which could be better spent on modernising the railways and re-opening stations.
Patrick Iredale, HockleyUK private rail companies receive more subsidies than British Rail ever did. I say re-nationalise the railways and run them to cover costs only.
Georgina Sharpe, SouthamptonI worked for British Rail. It was the best job ever. A French company took over and the depot closed. That was the worst day ever.
Albert E C Hemmings, SalisburyStop privatising everything. There is more to life than trying to make profits as the only priority. What about providing decent public services?.
James Honke, IverThe current system is a farce, which costs the taxpayer millions and lets private companies skim off the top.
Nicholas Bradley, ExeterStop the rip-off prices. It’s the most expensive public transport in the EU.
Toby Cornwall, BristolThe rail network is a vital piece of national infrastructure and requires passenger-focussed management and proper investment. It should not make a profit.
Chris Tugwell, WellingPrivatisation of the railways is a sham so that shareholders can make millions. We should re-invest in re-opening closed lines and bring back a real service.
Alan Butcher, WashingtonBring back British Rail.
Andrew Smith, WhitchurchLet’s not forget that at Hatfield and Potters Bar people paid with their lives for this privatisation madness. BBBR.
Lewis George, AndoverWe need a British Rail, for the people, for Great Britain.
Edward WashingtonPlease check your records as I may have already signed this petition.
Steve Smith, Dorchesterits about time you politicians did something right for ordinary hard-up people.
Alastair Allan, HaddingtonLet us get back to providing a railway that is for passengers and not shareholders, and a service that is not an embarrassment to Britain.
Joseph Bown, ChesterfieldThe East Coast line has proved that it can work and would work. Also they should kick this high speed rubbish in touch as well.
Paul Bungay, New Ash GreenSimple logic: a private company has to make a profit/pay a dividend to shareholders. Either there is less left over to invest in the railway itself or fares have to rise.
Michael Coleman, RedditchLet us take it back. It and all the other state companies and the NHS do not belong to a sick bunch of half-wit profiteering politicos to sell off as they wish.
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.
Paul Gatenby, LiverpoolWe the taxpayers are already subsidising them. We should take them over and run the railways as a public service.
Barry Scott, RomfordRail Prices are too high and the service is not worth it. People could move around easier under British Rail.
