Jim Gavine, DundeeLet’s make a start by opposing the re-privatisation of East Coast and getting Miliband and co to support accordingly.
Tom Watts, St NeotsNow more than ever, we need a publicly-owned, properly integrated railway system that puts passengers and the environment first, rather than private profit.
Brian Christie, DoncasterWe need a more coherent, less fragmented service – one that co-operates with and not ignores the users.
Rosie Hucklesby, ColchesterAs someone who’s travelled on the East Anglia services for a long time, every franchise we’ve ever had has failed. Time to re-nationalise.
Gemma Evans, CaerphillyPower to the people. Down with privatisation.
Bill Allen, ManchesterWe need to bring back British Rail on a “not for profit” basis in order that we have a safe and prompt railway in the UK.
Meg Gain, Stratford-upon-AvonA confusing plethora of train companies and fares which does little for the customer.
Donald Jessiman, ReigateAt last. A movement to put transport back where it belongs – with the public. Let’s bring an end to this disastrous privatisation.
Anne Graham, CarlisleBring back British Rail.
Michael Morrison, ChelmsfordI have nothing to add that isn’t obvious and said already.
Nick Avins, LeekYes, I fully support the return of BR and turning away from the great corporate mess we now have on our railways.
Ken Kirk, BrightonWe have the most subsidised railway and the highest fares – all to feed private profit. That’s madness.
Stephen Butcher, BallymenaA fragmented rail network makes no sense.
Huw Sherlock, HerefordThis is long overdue. The franchise experiment has been an unmitigated failure and delivers only fat profits to unaccountable offshore corporations.
Nigel BaldwinBring back the Lion and Wheel symbol and its proper name – British Railways.
Irene Jones, Newcastle-upon-TyneWhat exactly does this country own? Answers on a postage stamp please, if you can afford one.
Diane Lindsay, OrmskirkMy son works 12 hour shifts in Manchester and Northern Rail have made this unbearable, very close to undoable.
Kevin Hickson, South ShieldsOur railways should be run by Britain and not foreign companies. Prices have soared whilst the service has remained diabolical, Bring back British Rail.
Alan Currie, MargateThe railways should be affordable for everyone and not a shareholders’ ticket to make money.
Jack Campbell, LeedsOnly a Tory government would privatise a profit-making, much-beloved line like East Coast rail. It’s not logical, it’s ideological, and we all know it. Stop it now.
Lawrence Wright, LondonBritish Rail was privatised when it was making a profit.
Lesley Doveton, UxbridgeI strongly support this, and bringing energy back into public ownership as well.
Wendy Turner, NottinghamThe current rail system is a mish-mash of over-priced, under-performing cash-cow for the shareholders. Let’s return to a joined-up service.
Malcolm Crapper, SheffieldBritish Rail should be run on behalf of the people and not for private profit. Please support this petition and get the Labour Party pledge this in their manifesto.
Charlotte Reader, Clacton-on-SeaRailways should be the best form of public transport. They should be efficient, reasonably priced and a public service, not a commercial carcase for stripping.
John Tomlinson, Newcastle-upon-TyneThe best solution.
David Rees, CaerphillyBoth privatisation and nationalisation have drawbacks, but, with forward thinking management, a re-nationalised network would serve the public far better at less cost.
Judith Priest, East LothianEast Coast line has shown it can be profitable over the last few years.
Victoria Hunt, DoncasterTrains are way too expensive. I cannot afford to use them any more and I have to look for jobs in my own town as commuting would not be financially possible.
Susan Ashby, LondonDe-nationalisation of the railways has not worked. Pouring more money in is not the answer. We’ve paid for it so now reclaim ownership.
