Arran Stratton, GlasgowIt can be the only solution not to see the profits line the pockets of huge corporations. It’s embarrassing at the moment.
Mike Hughes, LondonRailways now, power and water next.
Adrian Willats, WaterloovilleI started using BR in the 1970s, along with National Bus Company buses. I see nothing wrong with state-owned transport and I support this campaign. I must get the T-shirt.
Dave Wells, SwindonAnd all other public services too.
Tim Murphy, PrestonThe prices are out of control.
Matthew Burgess, NorwichWhy allow companies to make profit from a national service? They should have always been left in the public domain.
Alice Ellis-Bray, PenzanceIncredible campaign and petition! This brings me such hope. Thank you! Our earth needs affordable public transport for all!
Dean Chapman, BristolJust look at the fantastic work and profits made by East Coast Trains. If they can do it why can’t the whole network?
Mike Lawley, LondonNationalised railway with decent management.
Alex Blenkhorn, StockportTransportation systems should be run democratically in the interests of workers and the environment, not profit and private property.
Andrew Barlow, LiverpoolI am a socialist. I believe in services for the people by the people and for proper employment of the people paid for by taxes, mainly from the rich.
Sharon Reid, North BerwickTotally useless.
Eleni Stavrou, DerbyPublic services are becoming a system of exploitation against the people who must use them, and in fact work for them.
Laurence Cooke, CoventryEnough is Enough.
Van Tran, NottinghamBusinesses are in it for their shareholders, not for the benefit of the people who use the trains.
Maureen Parnell, EdinburghPlease re-nationalise all the other railways and keep the East Coast public. The evidence is clear. It is so much better than the others.
Ron McLean, MoffatI totally agree with the railways being returned to the public sector. I find it amazing that we are paying the private sector public money to run our railways.
Merlin Norbury, LeicesterBring back transport for the people. Get rid of transport for private profit.
Piers Baker, CanterburyI wouldn’t usually consider myself a socialist but there is no way the free market can operate in the railway system. These private rail monopolies are robber barons.
Greg McLean, FalkirkRailways should be run for the benefit of passengers not profits to line the pockets of fat cat directors.
Randall Northam, YorkRail privatisation was botched and hurried.
Anna Coles, CanterburyIt makes good economic and ecological sense to re-nationalise the railways.
Netti South, SheffieldIt was a bad idea to privatise it and now re-nationalisation is the only way to bring sense and efficiency to train travel.
Steven Thomas, HolyheadThey never should have been sold off any way.
Sarah Sayers, WorthingPeople not profit.
Paul Collinson, ShildonBring it back. Give all of us contractors working away some job security and let us shine to our full potential instead of being stuck as shovel monkeys.
Sioned-Mair Richards, SheffieldIt’s too important to be left to the private sector.
Robert Duff, FalkirkThe railways belong to the people, not shareholder money-rapists.
Dorothy Braithwaite, BlackburnGive us back the good old days.
Jim Cragg, DerbyProfit adds to the price of a ticket.
