Joshua Tyler, RotherhamHow has rail got so bad and so expensive? Turn it into just one company and bring back British Rail.
Adam Hiley, Upminstergood luck with Your campaign
John Hicks, Sunbury-on-ThamesIf even ‘Red Ed’ couldn’t be persuaded to re-nationalise the railways then it doesn’t look too hopeful – but good luck anyway.
Liz Humphreys, OswestryDisgusting that foreign companies are shortlisted to run Welsh trains following Brexit. Let’s have a British company trading as British Rail.
Jean Coates, HarrogateWe need a joined up service and not a cartel of lots of different companies offering us the same tickets and prices.
Malcolm Halliday, ExeterI remember old Beeching, the beginning of the demise of the British Rail network, and it’s even worse now.
Eve Tait, LeicesterI’m sick of spending 4-10 hours on coaches to visit family because of ridiculous rail prices.
Charlotte O’Neill, LondonBritish rail services are getting more expensive and worse and we are being taken for a ride (no pun intended) It must stop.
Anne Somers, MirfieldPublic Sector rail travel must be reintroduced.
Andy Broadey, ManchesterI am for an efficient, punctual publicly-run rail service, rather than the monopolies of private service providers we currently have, charging inflated prices.
Ian Greenhalgh, EdinburghThe banks and government are screwing us out of every last penny on every level.
Kathrine Barlow, LondonMonthly travel prices are not value for money.
Justin Griffiths, GosfieldPut an end to greedy private companies fleecing passengers for profits.
John Price, LiverpoolBring it back.
Robert Hendry, RugbyParliament has always meddled incompetently with railways.
Brenda Whatmore, DurhamI’m delighted to sign this petition. Thanks to the previous Labour government, we still had our own British Rail North East company until now.
Sean Cole, GravesendAn embarrassment to our country, and legitimately a large source of much misery in my life.
Grahame Wood, BroughtonI have worked on the railways for over 33 years, first as British Rail when I joined in 1980, and I can honestly say it has not improved in private ownership.
Graham Bridge, NuneatonMy annual season ticket costs over £9000, more than my mortgage.
Dean Reeves, WisbechWe need a green transport policy which meets the needs of people and business first. Railways cannot be run as a competition. They will only succeed as a strategic resource.
Gala Middleton, NewarkEast Coast Trains proved that public ownership works. How ridiculous to then sell it.
Jack Plumb, ColchesterProgress hasn’t been made with privatisation, just big mistakes like the Virgin franchise. BR was when we had and are going to get real progress.
S Read, YorkWill a mainstream party have common sense enough to adopt this policy? Why are they so scared?
M Atkins, ChichesterSouthern Rail is a disgrace, negatively impacting the economy, businesses and peoples health and lives.
Ian Crombie, BasingstokeBring back BR.
Rod Stephens, WareHow can it be that when the Government has all the best possible resources in the country available, it still pretends that it is better to privatise everything?
Andrew Stock, ColchesterI’m bored with paying to run Europe’s rail network with the profits from ours.
Hazel Mayamba-Kasongo, ChesterI love Virgin who have the west coast franchise. Their service is excellent – trains comfortable and staff outstanding. However, the rest is a mess.
Paul Taylor, LeedsThe recent move to sell off East Coast Mainline is a betrayal of all the people of this country in favour of one section of it. Disgraceful.
