Roy Davis, CaerphillyThe rail network has become a cash cow for multi-national corporations. Any profits should be spent on improving the infrastructure.
Paul Davis, HertfordRe-nationalise.
Bill Molyneux, NottinghamThe British railway system was once admired globally. It was a beautiful and ecological feat of engineering. It’s sad, both aesthetically and practically, to see it now.
Ian Hamilton, BramptonI think the cost of travelling by rail is enough comment.
Oliver Charleston, LincolnPublic ownership of the railways is not just desirable but an urgent priority – Bring back British Rail.
Margaret Reeves, SouthwellA publicly owned rail system has always made better sense in every respect than a private piecemeal network in the hands of shareholders.
Owen Thomson, AberdeenThese vultures are burning far more public money than BR ever did (and it’s all going into private pockets.)
Gaynor Underhill, WantageYou know it makes sense. We need a national rail service owned by the people.
Graham Armstrong, LondonBring the catering back in house too. I miss spiced coffee.
David Kingston, WimborneIt’s too important to be run as it is.
Anthony Oatham, EppingI believe rail transport should be run as a joined-up service and this should be funded out of general taxation.
Declan Isaac, LeedsStop the price gouging.
Dom Maguire, LondonI’m fed up now. Just fed up. Surely a National network would function better than this shower.
Malcolm Law, YorkThe carriage works in York were closed at the time of privatisation and rail fares are far too high. A bloody disgrace.
Mark Priestley, KentInstead of keeping trying to fill a bucket with a hole, try plugging that hole with some managerial bonuses.
Sue Budd, FalmouthI miss British Rail.
Paul Caruana, DunstablePlease.
Ann Cohen, EdinburghThe recent East Coast experience has shown that the state could successfully take over all lines again
Derek Shaw, YorkI am strongly against this sell-off.
John Norman, AshfordPrivatisation has made us realise how good British Railways really were. The East Coast line is well run and makes a profit, bringing in money to the Treasury.
Harriet Rogers, BirminghamBring prices down. Re-nationalise now.
Mary Campbell, LetchworthWhy does anyone support profits for individuals rather than the good of all?
John Suckling, DurhamPublic ownership is the only way of ensuring a reliable, modern, affordable and accessible rail network. East Coast Trains should be seen as an example.
Nancy Beattie, TelfordI’ve already signed a petition about this but hope this one counts as well. I hope the petition succeeds.
Noel Hibbert, CoventryWe need a centrally owned, planned and co-ordinated rail network, with user friendly rail stations focussed on train travel not supermarkets.
Anna Pollert, Leamington SpaRail transport is crucial infrastructure for a greener environment and should be a basic responsibility of the state, for the benefit of people, not private profit.
Jason Pak, LondonI would like to support the cause to bring back British Rail and re-nationalise the UK rail system.
Ken Howe, HexhamIf the East Coast mainline can make money for the government, so can all the others.
Richard Grant, Long EatonWith a better pricing strategy we can open the arteries to the cities and towns, moving the work force better and reducing the carbon footprint.
Raymond Walley, BexhillWe need a unified system that Whitehall does not micromanage.
