Erik Dijkshoorn, DarlingtonIt makes nothing but sense to re-nationalise all infrastructure products and use profits for sustainable development.
Gareth Hadley, SurbitonPrivatisation of the rail industry has led to increased political/civil service control, increased cost, and a marginalisation of the customer. The 1997 model has failed.
Anthony Leather, South ShieldsIf privatisation is the answer, it must have been a silly question.
Susan Bray, DoncasterAll my family worked for the railway but can’t afford to use it now.
David Bacon, SheffieldBringing British Rail back into the public domain is a no brainer. A state owned system would cost less and profits would go to the nation.
Michael Thompson, High PeakIt’s scandalous that the government wants to sell off Network Rail. We absolutely must keep it in public hands.
Bryan Thomas, BristolPrivatisation was always a ridiculous idea and we need a transport network that is cheap, reliable and not dictated by the blinkered profit motive of rich investors.
Tallon Avery, ColchesterKeep this petition going. Privatisation has ruined the railways because then the profits go to shareholders not back into the system.
Tony Rawlings, WokingAlso red star.
Eilidh Sinclair, GlasgowLet’s do this – re-nationalisation of all public services.
Kerstin Fletcher, IpswichThe success of the publicly run East Coast Main Line service as opposed to comparable privatised lines strongly suggests that re-nationalisation would be the best option.
Cecilia Marshall, SalisburyPrivatisation benefits no-one except the shareholders who probably always travel by chauffeured car.
Ciaran Brooks, IvybridgeWhy plough taxes in for shareholders to take the profits?
Yan Yates, MiddlesbroughIt’s been over-priced for far too long. People should not be financially punished for not booking early.
John Maynard, HarrogateSince we are paying billions every year to subsidise fat cat pay and shareholder dividends we might as well own it.
David Robertson, WhitlandThe people and the environment all benefit from a unified, efficient and clean rail transport system that puts people before profit and is owned by its users.
Sam Roberts, LondonMake fares fair again.
Ian Harvey, PaigntonPlease re-nationalise all public utilities and buses too.
Andrew Mahoney, MaidstoneI was a young boy when British Rail disappeared. My family were a part of the railway family. The change was for the worse.
Ian Stainthorp, LeylandI fully support this campaign. I love the work.
Mike Cotgreave, LiverpoolI fully support a properly funded and publicly owned transport system.
Tyler Brace, PeterboroughI want to bring back BR because the railways should be known as one and, as a trainspotter, it would be easier to use the railway.
Tim Graham, Newcastle-upon-TyneAstronomical fare rises and minimal investment in infrastructure are clear indicators that the British people are not getting value for money for their railways.
Louise Kemp, Haywards HeathI am disgusted at poor train services, high ticket prices and public money being paid into the hands of shareholders instead of funding public services. Re-nationalise.
Lawrence O’Donnell, LittleborooughKeep essential public services in the public sector.
Richard Jenkins, BridgendActually, I would want a Welsh Rail. I’m Welsh, not British, but bring back ownership of vital services to the people.
Alan Stewart, FalkirkThe news that Abellio have failed to plan for the loss of trains on its flagship service is the last straw for me.
Francis Valentine, EdinburghThese companies are virtual, so it wouldn’t cost much to take them back. Get on with it.
Howard Shaw, PrestonIt should never have been privatised.
