Gareth Hughes, BarryBring it back and make the fares cheaper more people would use the train and I for one love the trains
Dave Codling, CheshireMy kids may have to cycle two miles to school, as I find it more and more difficult to pay for public transport.
Liam McCombe, BarnsleyMy commute daily costs me £20 and it takes me only 14 minutes.
Hadi Mehrpouya, EdinburghThis is a wonderful movement. My stomach turns every time I hear about the subsidies, and the amount of money private companies are stealing from the public.
Simon Harris, MansfieldThey should never have been privatised. It is costing the taxpayer far too much and fares are unacceptably high. We are at the mercy of privateers.
Denis Russell, Newcastle-upon-TyneIf only?
N. Holmes, DurhamPrivatisation is a misuse of public assets. The assets were never yours to sell.
Phil Vaughan, PlymouthPrivatisation has had its day. It’s time for it to be run for the public not for shareholders. The cost of tickets is ridiculous. and confusing.
Andrew Dominic Higgins, LiverpoolRailway infrastructure should be a national asset, not a private one.
Lizzie Smith, BristolGetting a train here is like spending a lot of money for a horrible experience. I’ve spent £70 before to find myself sat on the floor of the train outside a smelly loo.
John Shale, WiganWhy give free money to privateers?
Eric Barker-Clarke, Stockton-on-TeesLet’s do what the Germans do. Invite someone (Richard Branson) to take over British Rail and run it as a not-for-profit company.
Alan Royce Gleave, DealIt is so obvious that we need a unified, nationalised railway, and the vast majority of the British people think so too.
James Leigh, StrathalbynBring back British Railways! Too many public services have been privatised.
Dhruv Parapurath, LondonBring it back!
Sarah Cox, LondonThe railway industry should be nationalised for the sake of passenger safety, fair pay and working conditions for all rail workers and fair fares.
Richard Williams, FishguardIt’s a shame this campaign cannot build momentum on the parliamentary petitions website. That would force the Government to debate this topic in Parliament.
William Tucker, PrestonA unified rail service would be so much better than the present overpriced shambles. Our railways should be a source of national pride. It’s often cheaper to fly now.
James Bates, Isle of SkyePeople before profit.
Ben Cole, SelbyIt is comical how terrible our public transport is outside London. We are made to look foolish by other European nations.
Roger Hawkins, MorpethRe-nationalise, but keep a limited role for the private sector in running some trains and ancillary services like catering.
Michael Lister, HullNationalise it but run it efficiently.
David Hart, ChesterfieldTime to do something about the railways. What about an integrated transport system running on nationally produced electricity from British coal?
Colette Wright, TorquayWhy can’t we have a rail system as good as many other countries?
Julian Gillespie, ManchesterA workable transport system can only work if subsidised. Re-nationalising the railways makes sense in any civilised equal society.
Andy Horridge, CheadleStart with the rail companies and then all utilities – gas, water, electricity. They may have been sold to British companies by the Witch but now are in the hands of foreigners.
Adam Hiley, UpminsterNow that we are leaving the EU we could renationalise our Rail and Bus networks.
Mauro Bonventre, DidcotBR all the way for me, just because it should be a national institution for the people of Britain and not for profit even though I am a pro business person.
Robin Marks, RamsgateIt’s time to stop funding private companies’ profits.
