Alan Bettridge, LondonThe worst service since the great days of BR Southern Region.
George Sheppard, Ystrad MynachBritish rail created unity in a divided country.
John Cornell Cornell, SheffieldWe need a not-for-profit, user-centred service with efficiency and effectiveness at its heart.
Mark Pullen, RipleyI totally agree with bringing British Rail back. Instead of rail being in corporate hands, give it back to the people.
Mick Burbidge, GrimsbyA no-brainer to stop the passenger rip-offs for shareholders’ profits.
Jamie Mascall, ConingsbyI’m signing this petition because I want them to bring British Rail back, because it was such an amazing railway company and I think it should be brought back to life.
Stuart Niblo, ExmouthBritish Rail.
Camilla Boon, ChalfordThe rail system is a national asset, and far too important to be in private hands.
Rich Brassett, SawbridgeworthAt present no improvement in service or train conditions but yearly prices increase.
Maddy Whitby, Stow-on-the-WoldI’ve caught the Cotswold Line trains for six years and I cannot recall a time when I could call them consistent or reliable.
Ronald Donnelly, Burgess HillWhy should train profits go to overseas investors and not recycled into the system?
Graham Thomas, KidwellyThe sooner the better. Let’s put an end to what foreign investors call the UK – Treasure Island.
Julie Elphick, WitneyOne ticket, one destination, one rail company. Simplicity. Bring back British Rail.
Sandra Humphries, SouthseaBlair promised in Parliament in 1996 that, if the Conservatives privatised the railways, an incoming Labour government would re-nationalise them. Did he? No.
Linda Long, LondonNationalise the railways.
Neil Martin, RayleighPlease, please, please get rid of Abellio. They are a cancer on our railway, along with every other private operator.
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.
Yzabel Field, LondonPlease re-nationalise the railways and make the railways one affordable public service, not a lot of expensive private businesses.
David Dowker, BradfordRail is a service, not a profit source for the rich.
Steve Tolton, HockleyI would like to see our railways supported more effectively by our government to reflect the critical role railways play economically and socially.
Brian Howes, BinghamPrivatisation has been a complete failure for the ordinary person in the UK, not only the railways, but anything else you care to name.
Janet Mobbs, StockportThe railways are too important to our economy to be run on market forces. They should be there to deliver a service, not to make private profit.
Major Phil Stout, SawbridgeworthStop TOCs making massive profits at the expense of the public traveller whilst providing a far worse service.
Nigel Street, EmsworthSouthern Railway demonstrates exactly why we should bring back British Rail.
Dave Llewellyn, CambridgeSort it out, we should be proud of our railways.
Luke Oldale, WorksopIt should never have been privatised in the first place. It was the worst thing John Major ever did.
Christine Gibson, LeedsI could not agree more.
Alessandro Marini, GlasgowThis is extremely important, not only for our economy, but for the people who live in this country. People are unable to see each other due to high travel fares.
Chris Martin, WorcestershireA unified railway, with a much simplified fares structure, would be the best thing that could happen to this country.
Nicola Riley, RedcarIt would be good to have it back.
