Michael Scott, YorkDaughter currently on train from York to King’s Cross taking 3 hrs plus due to works. £128 and just told that she may be charged more to stand in first class vestibule.
Simon Alcock, WhitbyToo much taxpayers’ money going into private hands.
Andrew Moore, EnfieldMajor infrastructure components such as all of the rail network should be nationally owned and operated.
Susanna Jordan, Chipping NortonMake rail transport an affordable alternative to road. Renationalise!
Aeron Linton, LondonBritish Rail will see a return to regular, affordable, unified travel for all. It needs to be reformed. Privatisation allows companies to exploit passengers.
Steven Lockwood, DerbyPrivatisation of strategic services is an obvious mistake.
David Little, Swavesey, CambridgeThe Covid-19 crisis forced some degree of governmental control but still leaves the broken franchising system intact. Full re-nationalisation is long overdue.
Martin Powell, Hesket-New-MarketCheaper fares, less overcrowding, safety and more trains.
Mark Edwards, PrestonHelp, Northern Rail victim! Train staff, ticket staff, station staff, management, trains – all cr*p – renationalise the lot now!
Jason Kalidas, LondonI am more than sick of this madly priced rail system. I travel in Europe by train often and the fares are reasonable.
Richard Antonel, LondonPublic services should be nationalised.
Andrew Smith, BorehamwoodPrivatisation is not working for passengers. I believe that nationalisation would put good service as the number one priority rather than making a profit.
Paul L Ellis, SheffieldPrivatising British Rail was one of the worst decisions made by any government resulting in the disjointed and overpriced structure we have today. Time to change back.
Andrew Stock, ColchesterI’m bored with paying to run Europe’s rail network with the profits from ours.
Stephen Ward, CarnforthAs a pedestrian, motorist and rail user, it is high time rail users enjoyed an equal ‘playing-field’ with road users.
Colin Gill, CambridgeRailways are a service, not for profiting shareholders with taxpayers’ money.
Joanne Royston, LondonI’m being priced out by season ticket fares, and am on a three year pay freeze.
Emma Campbell, SandersteadTerrible East Grinstead service. The frequency needs to be increased as well as the number of carriages. All over the country serious reform is needed not Victorian trains.
John Jones, BreconI cannot understand why there are only circa 26,000 signatures given the massive support for this campaign.
Godfrey Nyandoro, LeedsThe parcelling out of essential services to the private sector should have never been allowed in the first place. The shareholder has one thing and one thing only – profit.
Martin Elliott, GuildfordThe current subsidies and ticket prices for a terrible system to pay shareholders must end.
Sandy Burnett, LondonSouthern Rail is a disgrace and putting profits before people which is what you get when you privatise.
Keoni Kailimai, LondonBring back our rail for all.
Graeme Dawes, UckfieldLet’s have our National Transport System not for profit.
Paul Prescott, LeicesterEnd the national disaster of rail privatisation now, and give us back a state transport service for the people.
Kathleen Downes, AylesburyTransport is a fundamental service which should never have been privatised, for travellers to be exploited for huge profits to the few.
John Salisbury, NorwichI’m tired of seeing money wasted on pointless franchising and the commercial marooning of services off the core network, like East Anglia.
Steve McCarthy, St AlbansThe railways should be run for the benefit of everyone, not just for a few shareholders. The huge tax-payer subsidies are going straight into their pockets. It’s a rip-off.
Oliver Charleston, LincolnPublic ownership of the railways is not just desirable but an urgent priority – Bring back British Rail.
Dr A R Greenway, TeddingtonWe have a rubbish railway system unworthy of a great country – which invented railways! And all thanks to grossly incompetent and dogma-driven Tory policies and practice.
