George Sanderson, LeicesterBring back British Rail.
Paul Jeffries, KentSoutheastern to go.
Ian Casey, LondonIt should be run not for profit but for the best and cheapest service.
Robert Ughes, WorthingEnough of the lying idiots not providing a service. Enough. Ask your Parliamentary Candidates.
Martin Le Fevre, BelfordRail is a necessary service not a profit machine for capitalists.
Michael Smith, EnfieldUnite the railways and make it better for customers and staff alike.
Roger Clifford, CraigavonBring back British Rail, for the people, owned by the people.
Yvonne Weaver, DagenhamWhy doesn’t the government learn by their mistakes? Outsourcing does not always work. It’s all about the shareholders wanting big payouts. It’s time to say no more.
Mik Konstantinou, ChristchurchPrivatisation has made British railways the joke of Europe.
Joe Boswell, BristolPlease do this. My Young Person’s Card is about to run out, and the fares are going to cripple my attempts to live without a car.
Nick Sharp, St NeotsThe continual dropping of standards, quality of service and reduction of safety while ramping up prices has to stop.
Sean Garvey, LondonI fully support bringing our railways back into public ownership. As each franchise comes up for renewal we need a step-by-step nationalisation of the entire network.
Iain Macdonald, CoventryAnother Tory cock-up.
Natalia Hamon, PenzanceIt is important that our tax money is invested properly in a nationalised, efficient service, affordable to passengers.
Martina Gross, Berlin, GermanyYes, something essential as public transport shouldn’t be in private hands, because this sets the wrong goals. It’s “People before Profit” and not the other way around.
Amanda Ure, LeicesterAs a teen, I wanted to work for British Rail as a public service which was environmentally sound. That chance was stolen from me by the Tories.
Gerard Talbot, Canvey IslandI Just find it stupid the political dogma of the current government
Brian White, BedfordAs far as I’m concerned all the privatisations made in the 90s have been a disaster. As we all know deep down, profits always come before people.
Susan Nutt, DorsetBring back our railway system and make us the pride of Europe, instead of Europe’s worst transport provider.
Richard York, NorthamptonNationalised rail certainly wasn’t perfect, but selling the family silver is far worse, especially when some of the best lines are those publicly owned now.
Ken Shillito, BarnsleyIf the government had pumped the same amount of money into British Rail that it has into the private sector then I’m sure we would have a much better rail system now.
Richard Hampson, PeterboroughPrivatisation only lines the pockets of greedy people while everyone else loses out. Oh but wait, that’s what’s at the core of every Tory policy.
Dai Lowe, EdinburghThe fact that the old BR was not perfect is only an argument to do it better next time, to have it accountable and run by capable and dedicated folk.
Steve Cobb, AshfordTime for a change. Commuters have increasingly been mugged off by the rail companies and Network Rail for too long.
Jane Allely, Barry5 times higher fare than anywhere in Europe. Outrageous to say the very least.
Jordan SmithSolidarity.
Catherine Heard, BeckenhamI’ve signed this petition to object to fat cat executives making huge profits from privatisation. Where is the promised investment? Bring back affordable fares.
Luke Dickens, ManchesterUK trains are over-priced, inefficient and well behind in technology.
Kieran Pearman, LondonSo it could be cheaper.
Richard Paul, StroudThe rail fare-structure alone is madness, plus I’m a passenger, not some customer to be ripped off.
