Matt Mitchell, ExminsterPrivatisation has failed miserably.
Josh Collier, TrowbridgeI’m a season pass holder pay ridiculous amount and as I don’t ride the main line service I get two carriages and never a seat.
Bruce Asbestos, NottinghamFair railway ticket prices are the path to a zero carbon country!
Dorothy Nelson, St AustellRe-instate simple fare structures, with one price wherever you buy. The thought of a public service run for the public should not be a revolutionary concept.
Kevin Flanagan, CambridgePrivatisation is a nightmare. It’s time to re-start some public services. Don’t let this happen to the NHS.
Alex Shearman, SolihullFares are too high. The system needs to be run for the public.
Jim Doyle, LondonThings are far worse today than when we had BR.
Joshua Bryant, WelwynYet again proof if any was needed that privatisation does not work.
Suzy Cheal, BrightonTrains are ridiculously overpriced for the service that is provided. Lower prices would mean fewer people using cars and be better for the environment.
Dennis Wood, Clacton-on-SeaThey should never have been sold – nor gas, electricity, post office etc.
Joe Ellis, Herne BayGood petition. British Rail – the good old days.
Kim Fergus, WirralIf trains are re-nationalised, I believe fares will be cheaper for ordinary people and public organisations. It would be better for health, environment and personal finance.
William Nealon, RugbyI don’t understand that when Network Rail do repair work, they have to compensate private train operating companies. If it was state owned, think of the saving.
Kulvinder Bhogal, DerbyI want things to be back the way they used to be. A rail network for the people and not to make fat cats fatter. Above all, I want rail prices to be reasonable again.
Julie Boston, BristolSupport MPs who campaign to take back the Great Western franchise. Support RMT and protect rail jobs such as track maintenance, booking offices and guards.
Sylvia Swann, ScarboroughWe need a reliable economic system to take freight off the roads and provide affordable travel for passengers.
Elaine Barraud, GodalmingOur rail system should be run purely for public service as it is in a lot of other European countries.
Mary Wolf, CroydonRail for public service not for private profit, please.
Carl Loben, BrightonThe experience with Southern Rail leaves us with no other choice..
Marilyn J Wilson-Baker, Langar, NottinghamshireThe rail service is one of Britain’s great national treasures. Please preserve it for future generations.
Daniele Fameli, Haywards HeathMake train fares affordable again and maybe more reliable. Southern Railway is an expensive disaster.
Sally Welham, CarnoustieIf it stops the ridiculous cross-over between train companies and leads to a better service I am all for it.
Caz MoweAbout time.
James Harrison, HartlepoolDo the power companies and water also.
Mark Lowe, LlanelliI completely agree.
Steven Partington, BoltonMay it be.
Farouk Sohawon, LondonBringing the railway network into public ownership will put some order in and focus on the industry.
Jay Avery, Brattleboro, Vermont, USAI might be an American, but British Rail was truly an era of perfection for the railway network of the United Kingdom. It’s for the best to re-unify into British Rail.
George Talbot, WatfordHow will capital be raised and serviced and prices set? Should management consult and respect subsidiarity, socialist emulation and more? How will workers be disciplined?
Benjamin Ross, Welwyn Garden CityThis is needed. Our railways are just a joke now.
