Raymond Howells, DinningtonTime to stop pandering to the failed markets and letting foreign government-backed organisations buy our railway.
Paul Lally, LiverpoolPrivatisation of the railways was a national disaster resulting in higher costs and poorer service. It needs to end now.
Harry Clements, MedsteadI would very much enjoy seeing the railways re-nationalised and I think it would be highly beneficial for the country.
Mitch Law, Weston-super-MareI pay £10.30 for a 30 minute train ride. I never get a seat and I feel ripped off every morning.
James Davies, LeedsI use East Coast trains which shows what state-owned trains can do for service and value for money. Let’s extend this to the rest of the network.
Anne Smith, LeedsGive us a decent rail system, not the mess we have now.
Mark Priest, OldburyTransport systems should not be owned by greedy private companies who have no interest in providing a service, only making money.
Morag Cumming, NottinghamWe need an efficient and cost-effective railway network to get Britain working again. It must not be run solely for profit, but for everyone who needs to use the railway.
Peter Temple, DerbyIt will cost more next year to travel by train from Sheffield to Exeter to visit my girlfriend, than it does at the moment for me to fly home from Germany. Ridiculous.
Estelle Mageean, BarnsleyI demand we have our railways back.
Martyn Martin, LondonSoutheastern and Thameslink are a joke. They cannot run a railway simulator let alone an actual railway.
Jonathan Kirk, LondonPut the rail system back in public hands so we don’t keep getting ludicrous price increases that just don’t happen across the rest of Europe.
Theodora Ford, ColchesterTransport is a vital service. It cannot be left in the hands of a disjointed collection of private concerns who’s first priority is to make a profit at our expense.
Olivia Sykes, HuddersfieldI’m honoured to sign.
Bill Porter, LiverpoolStop destroying our magnificent railways and heritage just to make a financial killing.
Jan Jesson, WednesburyI prefer public ownership of our key infrastructure, with railways run as a public service, rather than for private profit.
John Dadacz, Sutton-in-AshfieldYes unify the rail services; you know it makes sense.
Paul Sheppard, LondonSouthwest Trains are crooks.
David Millar, Stoke-on-TrentPlease re-nationalise and invest in competent managers.
Norman Horton, DarlingtonRailways should be run for the good of the people and not exist to line shareholders’ pockets.
Richard Abram, DurhamMoney currently going to shareholders could be invested in the railway and in a properly coordinated public transport system.
Louise Tippett, Walton-on-ThamesIt is crucial for a fairer society and to make the public infrastructure work better.
Malcolm Davison, GatesheadAn eminently sensible idea. The whole privatisation thing has been a fiasco.
David Moore, FalkirkBring back British Rail.
Glynne Williams, LeicesterThe Fat Controller is getting fatter and our trains are getting more crowded, less punctual and far, far more expensive. Re-nationalise.
Robert Leili, LondonGreat idea. Bring back British Rail. I much preferred it in those days. It was so much simpler and better for both the workers in the industry and for the public.
Rob Flint, NottinghamGreat campaign. Thanks for pushing it.
Thomas Wilson, GravesendTaxpayers paid for it and we pay the MPs, yet they want to sell everything for profit.
Mike Gibson, WarminsterPlease end the idiocy of privatisation. Bring it all back under one umbrella for the good of the country, the passengers and the industry.
Liam Matthews, EssexAbsolutely shocking service from Greater Anglia, with trains always late and so, so over-priced. I can never get a seat.
