Gemma Fisher, KentIt’s about time.
Lizzie Cuthbertson, LondonEast Coast is the best train line for service and value for the customer. It’s time to put passengers first and not profits for shareholders.
David Marriott, ExeterI always thought privatisation was stupid. Time has confirmed that viewpoint.
Andrew Dugdale, ReadingRail fares are beyond reason for the worst quality trains, and most overcrowded service in Europe. It needs fixing – fast. We’re no longer getting there.
Mary Campbell, LetchworthWhy does anyone support profits for individuals rather than the good of all?
Jenny Vaughan, LondonThe utilities too.
John Mapplebeck, BamburghI believe in a publicly owned rail network. Railways are the arteries on which our lives depend. We should own them.
Ronald Boyle, BangorRail, road, water, power are all national infrastructure essentials, created by the labours of generations before us and not to be squandered or pilfered by the wealthy.
Arwen Nicholson, CambridgeThe fares are ridiculous and unfair. Rail travel is far more environmentally friendly than car driving and should be affordable for all.
Simeon Adams, HovePrivatisation was meant to bring competitive advantage. It has brought exploitative monopolies. It’s time to re-nationalise the railways.
Edward WashingtonPlease check your records as I may have already signed this petition.
M Spencer, LutterworthKeep British Rail as one.
Jenny Reeves, FavershamMake public transport a public concern once more. Tickets are not profit slips for fat cats.
Steve Beesley, LeedsAll utilities needed by the nation should be owned by the nation and run for the nation, not for profit.
Alastair BailyPrivatisation’s been a disaster in terms of the costs of achieving improvements to the railway.
Terrence Edwards, CardiffTake our railway back now.
Myleene Klass, LondonBritish Railways ran an excellent, reliable train service. These private companies are useless. It’s typical Tory policy to mess everything up. BBBR.
Alan Bayes, LondonThe transport system should exist primarily to benefit passengers, not to line the pockets of the likes of Branson.
Richard Merriman, Melton MowbrayI’m sick of being ripped off by Tory fat cats.
Chiara Knott, NottinghamJourneys are too expensive. And why do I have to pay to use the toilet? This is a violation of my human rights I’m certain.
Alan Ducklin, EdinburghStop privatisation, get back all public utilities stolen for others’ profit.
Kathleen O’Neill, HampshireWe owned it and the government sold it without our permission. That’s theft in my book. We want it back please or we will have to take it.
Liam Arthur, WallingtonBring back order, fair fares and proper trains.
Tim Lander, WorthingBritish Rail was one of the things that put the Great in Great Britain. There’s not many things left that do.
Alf Fisher, PottonOver the years, the government has sold off utility companies as well as British Railways, and, in my opinion, they were not theirs to sell.
Alexia Wright, EssexHear hear.
Bob Green, SheffieldI was proud to be a trainee signalman in the late 60s early 70s. I’m not going to allow this silly government to privatise any more of the people’s interests and jobs.
Joseph Pakenham, GlasgowIf the amount invested in subsidies since privatisation had happened to BR, there’d never have been an excuse to privatise it.
Ashley Woosnam, NorthamptonRe-nationalize BR as soon as possible. I’m sick of ever-increasing ticket prices, whilst services get worse, together with the attitude of station staff.
Jack Ormrod, LlandudnoBrexit has brought our sovereign country back to its senses. The UK railways privatised some 20 odd years ago have not worked and only Virgin has worked for the elite.
