Cameron Ternent, LondonWe are the only country in Europe and nearly the whole world with a wasteful, expensive and frankly shite railway. It’s a national disgrace.
Diane Cox, PenzanceSo good to know there is a movement to do this.
Jordan SmithSolidarity.
David Sleet, YorkIf profits can be made by British Rail, they should be ploughed back into the system, not distributed to the already-wealthy shareholders.
Kay Labon, SouthamptonPrivatisation created structures that seemed designed to fail. The same investment in British Rail would have given us a service to match European services.
Gregory Collett, LowestoftRailways are a social essential not a cash cow for foreign shareholders or vulture capitalists.
David Pearce, LondonAs a supporter of TUSC, I am 150% behind re-nationalising state infrastructure, including BR.
Chris Priston, YorkTory dogma.
Sarah Markham, FlitwickPublic services are best. The railways need to be given back to the people who should own them, the people of this country, not those who just want to make money.
David Knox, TodmordenIt’s a ridiculously complicated system that is frankly embarrassing to explain to visitors. There is no logic. Bring back a normalised ticketing system that makes sense.
Karen Orosky, BedfordPrivatisation of so much in the UK is destroying this country.
Ric Hardacre, IpswichBy the people, for the people.
Steve Pilkington, BelperI welcome the chance to add my name to a campaign to return the railways to the public. Let’s run them for the good of the public, not profit for shareholders.
Catherine Vickery, Market HarboroughPrivatisation was the easy way out for Margaret Thatcher – along with selling off council houses. Then energy. Now we are owned by multi-nationals. Give back our transport.
Ron Greenham, LutonBoth the trains and the rail system should be under one management and it is too big for one company to control.
Teresa Smith, RoystonOverpriced fares, overcrowded and late trains. When FCC franchise runs out in 2014 the route should be taken back into public ownership. Put passengers before profits.
Roger Drury, ColefordPeople before profit.
Tom TibbitsBring back the railway as a national asset for national advantage – it needs us.
Damon Cocker, NorwichI don’t drive at the moment and cycle/use the trains but the astronomically high fares mean I’m considering getting a car, which I would hate to do
James Greenhalgh, HuddersfieldGood luck to the campaign.
S Nightingale, NottinghamRail travel was and is far more efficient and economical when nationalised. Bring back British Rail.
Leanne Green, HydeLet’s bring back British Rail and lower prices for tickets, as private companies are charging way too much to travel to places.
Richard Birkett, CambridgeSo important.
David Newman, SittingbourneThe worst thing was selling off our railway.
Michael Deacon, Hemel HempsteadFares going up and service going down.
Jon Howlett, IpswichI’m signing this petition because I believe that the current service is utterly atrocious.
Bob Rosenthal, BlandfordBringing back British Rail is the best idea in many a year!
Nigel Sleeman, LeedsThis campaign makes absolute sense for the whole of the UK.
Zoe Mercer, LondonWouldn’t it be better if profits went back into the service and any excess goes back into public coffers?
David Frost, Sunderland.I believe that all public transport, electricity, gas, and water should be re-nationalised for the benefit of the consumers.
