Richard Miles, LeedsPrivatise the railways they said, as competition increases efficiency and drives down costs, they said.
John Yonker, LondonRe-nationalise the railways. They never should have been privatised in the first place.
Tim Rauscher, WienI am from Austria and Britain needs British Rail.
Padraig Curran, Bishop’s StortfordI spend a lot of time in France where the system works very well and is miles cheaper too.
John McKinnon, AberdeenMakes good sense.
Joanne Lister, SouthamptonCapitalism is killing too many of our precious services. Let’s get them back in our hands, the British public.
Jon Perks, ChichesterPoor choices by Whitehall (which maybe doesn’t care), poor regulation (by design?), uncompetitive choices for passengers, inefficient infrastructure manager. BBBR.
Chantelle Abigail Stocks, LeedsAs someone who uses the train as their only form of travel, it has massively restricted my day to day life, especially given that I am a student.
Sandra Jervis, WakefieldPrivatisation was the worst thing that happened to the railways. We are pouring money into private companies’ pockets.
Malcolm Judd, RomfordWe pay our fares to get somewhere, not to fill directors’ and shareholders’ pockets. Because of high wages and dividends there is no money for improvement works.
Mike Glanville, GloucesterBring back a unified national rail network run for people not profit.
Karl Groom, BracknellI would like profits currently paid to shareholders put back into our services and not have them sold off in the fist place.
Julie Harrison, HertfordLet us spread the word about this petition.
D Mackay, East KilbrideApart from anything else, it is allowing foreign companies to own our infrastructure which should not be allowed.
Ian Stewart, RushdenBring back a railway not dominated by the profit margin.
Ellen Ball, SunderlandVirgin is far too expensive for the working class.
Jennifer Taylor, LeedsIt makes sense so that profits can be used to support the NHS and Education, rather than go to already wealthy shareholders.
Steven Parkes, GlasgowBBBR Now. Stop the waste of money going to shareholders and out of the railway industry.
Rick Salter, PenrithAs a regular rail user I know that the previous set-up was better. Bring back BR and put service ahead of profit.
Mark Jordan, LondonTake the Railways out of private hands.
Dermot Killingley, Newcastle-upon-TyneEvery time I hear “Thank you for choosing to travel XYZ”, I think “But I didn’t choose! If I really had the choice I’d be travelling British Rail.”
Harry Facey, FlamboroughTransport madness by the loony right-wing government.
Tony Newman, GuildfordWe need a properly integrated system serving people instead of private profit.
Aaron Owens, LiverpoolMerseyrail is a disgusting excuse for a rail network, run only for profit and it has impacted my life negatively. Something needs to be done about it.
Susanna Farley, New CrossIt is totally ludicrous that taxpayers fund the profits of the privatised rail system. We are not a charity for the rich.
Dominic Bridge, ManchesterLet’s Bring back British Rail and bring down fares.
Stefan Weigert, HullImagine the amount of time gained when we no longer have to waste hours and hours to deal with the websites of dozens of non-communicating train companies.
John Bostock, SwadlincoteFragmented, profit before service, this proposal is long overdue.
Steve Reed, BarryThe profits should be ours to be re-invested in the railway network.
Paul Oliver, MexboroughStop the fat cats and bring back a national rail service which would be safer and modern.
