Janet Groundsell, Isle of WightTransport is vital and would be preferable in the public interest rather than big business.
John Stephens, BedfordThe dis-aggregated British Rail does not work for passengers; it works for shareholders.
Dean Barker, SunderlandBBBR.
Jenny Mangin, LondonI have finally given up on trying to travel by train. It’s far too complicated, far too expensive.
Charles Boylan, PrestonBritish Rail was much better. You don’t realise what you’ve got till its gone.
David Williams, LeicesterDo it, and get those money-grabbing bastards out.
Stephen Sinden, WyeAt least under British Rail it was easy to go anywhere in the UK and not be swamped with a maze of different fares.
Helen Robertson, LancingBring back nationalisation of the railways. The evident failure and cost to the nation has been a false economy. It should just be taken back by the country.
Steve Mulvale, PadstowDon’t waste money on HS2. Just get us an affordable transport system.
Roy Belton, BuxtonIt was a political decision by a Tory government to enable their friends to benefit. Look at who is supporting the party financially.
Hazel Marcks, CambridgeThe sad facts speak for themselves. I’m hoping that by signing this petition common sense will prevail.
Anvar Turobov, LondonThe service is appalling. The government should take the service back from private companies who failed massively.
Tim Lewes Gibbon, LondonThis is a complex infrastructure which needs holistic management.
Kimberley Parker, New MiltonThe rail services provided are some of the most expensive, yet poorly run in the world. People are forced to drive for convenience, which is damaging our environment.
Barry Edwards, HatfieldThe return to BR is indisputable when the obscene amount of money siphoned off to the chosen few is taken into account.
Patric Monney, BirminghamEnd this national disgrace of this decimated transport system and put it back in public ownership and people that give a damn about it.
Daniel Clark, GatesheadThere is no reason not to.
Roberto King, ChesterYou should try organising a strike with all of the rail workers.
Anthony Wrinch, RedhillSouthern Rail are a disgrace. Shame on the Government for letting this farce continue so long.
David Knapp, St AlbansThe network should never have been sold off. It’s become a nightmare to travel on the network now and way too costly.
Oliver Douglas, HastingsServices are there to serve the people, not grab profit at every opportunity. Unified railways would benefit everybody.
Jim C C Jones, Thessaloniki, GreeceIt was wonderful in the past and a nightmare these last years when we use the rail.
David Pigden, BristolA private network never worked. There are high fares, low service and a total disgrace.
Keith Brown, CleethorpesThey should never have privatised British Rail.
James Robert Gillespie, GlasgowPrivatisation has been a disaster. British Rail needs to be completely in public hands.
Maxine Jackson, LiverpoolCan’t wait to ride on a British Train once more.
Anna Worthy, SunderlandRailways need to be in public ownership. We would save one billion a year.
Marcus Turley, LondonGet rid of the daylight robbers.
M T, LondonYes, bringing back British Rail would be a good idea.
John McNulty, Newcastle-upon-TyneLiving with East Coast Rail has highlighted that the case for privatisation has never been proven.
