James WoodmanPrivatisation, fragmentation, subcontracting, internal markets, franchising, managers, managers, managers, jobs for the boys… Rip-off Britain!
Alan Dunn, Higham FerrersWe want our railways back, serving the people not the obscene profits of the fat cats.
Kevin Smith, BathTrain users have been ripped off for too long.
Sophia Hale-Sutton, EdinburghThe East Coast line seems to be running much better now it’s government run. Public transport should serve the public, not shareholders.
Sergio Seelochan, NottinghamStop bleeding money to overseas rail companies and use profits to make fares cheaper and the service better.
Hilary James, DonegalIt’s high time ticketing/pricing was unified. It’s the 21st century – people shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to book a train journey.
Adam Hiley, UpminsterWe need a cheap, efficient, publicly-owned transport network similar to Deutsche Bahn in Germany.
Ivan Merino, PocklingtonGet rid of the private sector bureaucracy and waste from the national network.
Christian Cox, ChichesterThe people who control such integral infrastructure in the country must answer directly to the people.
Robert Bridge, Hampton HillI use East Coast and it’s brilliant under public ownership compared to when National Express operated it.
Russell Miller, West WickhamWe own most of the road network so it’s time to own the rail network.
John Grat, PrestonIsn’t it time to admit what a terrible idea it was to break up a nationwide system?
Keith Jamieson, RuncornI’m fed up with ticket prices going up all the time. It’s time to re-nationalise the rail system.
Lynne Norker, NottinghamI can’t afford train travel as it’s too expensive. Please bring back affordable travel run by the state.
Michael Cartwright, LincolnWhy is the public purse subsidising private companies?
Martin Shaw, DoncasterI just want it back, joined-up and efficient.
Tereena Costard, SloughI’ve been using East Coast trains for the last year and a half. I would hate to see this change.
John Falconer, HuntlyRail travel should be cheap enough to encourage people to use it. This can only happen if the whole system is run on a non-profit basis.
Kevin Price, JohnstoneMy family worked for BR it was far better.
Anthony Amith, Milton KeynesPrivatisation only takes from the population as a whole, to give to the already-wealthy. Give us back our stolen property.
Karen Nolan, StockportI’m sick of everything run for profit, what about service to the people of this country who pay for everything through their taxes but get nothing except cuts in return?
Terry Marshall, DoncasterStart using commercial nous instead of political dogma and keep the East Coast line in public ownership.
Jamie Clarke, LeedsI work for Network Rail and see first hand how both passengers and staff could and should benefit from a unified railway network.
Sue Sparks, LondonRail should be under unified public ownership, only more accountable than it was before to passengers and employees.
Les Croucher, NorthamptonRe-nationalise the rail industry.
Philip Dawes, ChesterfieldRailway travel should be a public service and return to public ownership, just as water, gas and electricity should be.
Barry Hearn, WatfordWe all know that privatisation doesn’t work, time and time again.
Alan McVitty, Welwyn Garden CityBring back BR now for everyone’s sake.
Andrew Thomas, CreweLet’s put the “British” back into our rail network, not fat Euro-cats having the profits and being paid to run our services
Charles Coughlan, Leighton BuzzardEveryone: let your friends and family know about this petition. Privatisation of the railway has made our country worse and now we have to fix it.
