Vince Lardner, WorthingPrivatisation has worked for the few and not the many, the service is getting worse and costing more to pay dividends. End it, give us BR back now.
Sebastian Wunderlich, DarwenThe railway is a joke and way over-priced fares currently. Re-nationalise it for a fairer railway.
Will Shaman, LondonI’m glad to have found you.
Steve Burdekin, LondonThe current situation sees a monopoly and expensive fares whilst we still subsidise billions into the private sector when it should be going to the national purse.
Grace Ellen, WhitstableRe-nationalise with no compensation.
Jane Norris, LondonI whole-heartedly support this.
S J Wilson, PeterboroughIt was cheaper to run and safer when nationalised.
Mel Robinson, LeedsI’ve been a railway lover for over 60 years. I still mourn the Beeching cuts, which many times have been proved to be a disaster. I abhor privatisations.
Alexander Kounoupias, TadworthSouthern Rail are genuinely a disgrace to the British rail industry. They can’t be allowed to hold commuters to ransom with constant industrial action.
Christopher R Wintle, BirminghamAffordable travel for all.
Tristan Tozer, PlymouthIn a modern era like today, we strive to have better and reasonable transportation. Let’s get on track.
Ray Laidlaw, North ShieldsEconomic and reliable rail travel is not a luxury but a requirement for a modern, successful economy. Get rid of the franchises and nationalise the railways.
Terry McKeown, LeedsProfiteering, money before service, disgraceful lies and deceit. It’s time for a change. Escape Tory and Labour lies.
John Fryatt, Northampton.Public transport like railways should be a basic infrastructure thing, not a profit opportunity.
Julie Harrison, HertfordLet us spread the word about this petition.
Lee Miller, WarringtonToo many words.
David Rickelton, Newcastle-upon-TyneEast Coast has been a success. Let this line stay in public ownership and re-nationalise the other lines.
Margaret Sharkey, LondonBring the fares down by cutting out the profit factor and save and create jobs and improve safety. It’s a no-brainer!
Sarah McPhee, Long EatonIt is cheaper to fly from the UK to Spain than it is to travel from Glasgow to Plymouth by train. Absolute madness.
Mathew Taylor, ManchesterPlease re-nationalise the rail network.
Howard Davies, NottinghamEast Coast main line is brilliant under public ownership.
Vanessa Martin, BrightonBring back national railways to be proud of. Get us to work on time with a seat. And a clean safe journey for a reasonable price.
Thomas Meyrick, DorsetNice advert on the back of Private Eye.
William Hp, LondonNone of these people who own the railways know what they’re doing, so limit the damage and give it back to those who might know.
Sue Catt, KetteringPrivatisation benefits no-one but shareholders and the fat cats.
Mike Campbell, DurhamBring service industries back to their natural home – the public sector.
Gareth Hughes, BarryBring it back and make the fares cheaper more people would use the train and I for one love the trains
Richard Trotman, PenistonePrivatisation has been an unmitigated disaster for the passenger, the taxpayer, the railway network and British manufacturing.
Sara Ross, Los AngelesYet another plan to privatise (piratise) for corporate profit.
Piers Baker, CanterburyI wouldn’t usually consider myself a socialist but there is no way the free market can operate in the railway system. These private rail monopolies are robber barons.
