Barbara Badger, EdinburghWhat else is the government going to sell off? We’ll soon have no public services left. Please keep something which still works.
Jane Rees, ColchesterI heartily agree that we should bring back British Rail to run the railways for the people and not for private profit.
Shahram Parvin, LondonPrivatisation has not improved services but has increased ticket prices and increased the wealth gap in the population.
Arthur Simpkin, HassocksNationalising the railway will lower the cost on the taxpayer and lower fares. Having 2000 different companies is a mess. Bring back British Rail.
Martin Mansell, StevenagePrivatisation isn’t working. Just look at the state of our railways.
Jon WallerLet’s bring them all back . Why should people profit from others’ misery?
Adrian Sedgwick, BlackpoolIt’s about time the customers were considered, with the companies yielding a smaller profit margin, to accommodate cheaper fares.
Mary Rowntree, DurhamTrain services should be in our own hands and any profits could be ploughed back in for improvements and maintenance, not given to foreign countries.
Robert Bain, GlasgowPrivate companies are being subsidised for failures and raking in huge profits whilst the average citizen’s fare is being jacked up exponentially. Bring back British Rail.
Tom Wakeford, PeterboroughStrategic resources should be under state control and ownership. The current chaos needs bringing to an end.
Anthony Turtle, HastingsWe need a rail service that provides service – not expecting a wheelchair user to push herself onto a platform up a slope.
Alison Oxley, PickeringWhy break something that was working so well?
Douglas Macari, CanterburyRe-nationalise the railways. They belong to the people.
Ian Henden, FarehamA national asset, which is for every citizen’s benefit, should belong to the nation, aiming to break even.
Conor Mullins, RomfordRe-nationalisation of the railways would be one step on the way to the reclamation of all public services and goods we so direly need.
John Macdonald, Lochgellyrailways have to be in the hands of public not profits going to private companies who run away and don’t reinvest and left with public transport system in a mess.
David McLaine, GlenrothesMy son travels into London every day. Not only is the cost prohibitive but the coaches are appalling. So I can think of no better reason to give this petition my fullest.
Jason Fernee, BillericayLong had enough of franchises, rinsing passengers of money for poor service, uncomfortable cramped trains. Plus I prefer the 1970s uniforms for staff.
Robert Hawes, FavershamWhy do we have services that are owned by other countries’ national rail companies?
Elliott Clark, CrawleyPublic ownership for public services.
Vince Wright, MacclesfieldThe current rail system is a disgrace in price and in service, over-crowded and dangerous.
Richard Povall, KingsbridgeTired of funding shareholders with outrageous rail ticket prices. We’re the highest in the world.
Rebecca Dobson, Tunbridge WellsThe privatisation of the railways was an ideological move by the Tories. Privatisation only works where there is competition but our rail operators have a monopoly.
Stephen Clarke, LeedsThere is no good reason to privatise an East Coast mainline service which is working so successfully for passengers and taxpayers alike.
Christian Chess, ChippenhamA terrible idea to privatise in the first place. Please re-nationalise for the sake of the British people.
Lee Calder, BirtleyRe-nationalise the railways.
Shirley Kobiela, FalkirkThe present system has de-railed the service, price and commitment. Give it back to the people.
Sylvia Swann, ScarboroughWe need a reliable economic system to take freight off the roads and provide affordable travel for passengers.
Jo Harrison, SouthamptonWe must bring back British Rail. How can it cost more to go by train to Scotland than it does to fly to anywhere in Europe?
Barry Norman, Milton KeynesBring back British Rail is very important. Safety, cheaper rail fares are needed.
