Malcolm Hinksman, LutonThis is not good for the public, just another rip-off by the government.
Kevin Rouse, LutonI fully support this petition.
Leo Nikolaidis, BristolSurely there’s no-one who regularly uses the trains who thinks that the pricing is fair.
Douglas Mitchell, BedfordTake back the community’s railways.
Cynthia Fleming, GranthamSome things in life should not be about making a profit.
Katy Collins, HastingsIt’s about time there was a serious debate about the re-nationalisation of the railways. The present system is a farce.
Ulla Vangsgaard, WakefieldReliable, affordable public transport would help save fossil fuels, reduce greenhouse emissions and population stress, and make Great Britain a healthier, happier place.
Haris Loupidis, BussageFewer cars, more trains, happier planet, happier humans.
Steve Watters, BristolBring back British Rail.
Mike Shaw, EdinburghBBBR.
Vishal Verma, CrawleyThe rail prices are ridiculous and over complicated. The definition of peak hours does not make sense at all. A complete system overhaul needed.
Ian Wallace, SheffieldClimate change demands this. Aim to make it free at the point of use, like we nearly did in South Yorkshire a few years ago.
Bryan Sadler, LancasterStockton and Darlington taught us that railways must be fully integrated – track, trains, repairs et al. The current system is expensive lunacy.
Graham Levett, Brighton.Enough. Privatisation has been an unmitigated disaster.
Mary Ann Good, NottinghamRail tickets are too complicated to buy and too expensive.
Mark Pullen, RipleyI totally agree with bringing British Rail back. Instead of rail being in corporate hands, give it back to the people.
Peter Hubberstey, PrestonI’m sick of bogus fares and little tricks like split tickets. We want a fair fare system..
Pete Harry Shuttleworth, LincolnMy dad told me, 45 years ago, that I owned a little bit of every blue train. In my 20s you sold them without asking me. Please give them back.
Lawrence O’Donnell, LittleborooughKeep essential public services in the public sector.
Louie Withey, SouthamptonBring back the good old days.
Matthew Hagan, St AlbansSomething has to be done about the shocking price of tickets.
Yvonne Jones, CwmbranTrain fares should be affordable for all, not just the elite who usually have their tickets paid by the taxpayer anyway.
Richard Lowe, LeedsBring back a decent rail network.
Anthony Kaye, BarnsleyPutting a public service in the hands of private companies who put profit before service is never a good idea.
Malcolm Martyn, ShrewsburyBuy back all that the Tories have privatised and, in no time at all, you will see costs and pricing come down considerably.
Peter Davies, HoveRail needs a long-term view and long-term significant investment. It’s only possible by re-investing all proceeds into the network. Shareholders drive investment down. Always.
Ciaran Brooks, IvybridgeWhy plough taxes in for shareholders to take the profits?
Fergus Calder, BrightonThe toilets on Southern are often closed and the trains in the morning are always late. The full number of carriages are often short, leading to standing room only.
Stephen Blomfield, SheffieldThe privatisation of British Rail has proved a disaster for the British public and a bonanza for those businesses in the private sector which provide rail services.
Mauro Ciaccio, CambridgeRail is the most extensive and universal form of public transport. So it needs to be publicly owned.
