Dennison Packer, CanterburyPrices are extortionate. The Government wants people to stop driving solo so should make public transport more affordable.
Francis Varley, SheffieldI want better public transport, not richer leeches.
Michael David Jewett, HarrogateI feel privatisation has failed big time.
Steve Horton, ErithPrivatisation is the worst thing to have happened. We have ever increasing fares (above inflation) and overcrowding. There’s profiteering beyond acceptable levels.
Barry Lukins, BridgwaterBring the railways back into the public domain, where the taxpayer of this country will have a bigger say on how to run the system. Now we are being ripped off.
Laura Flynn, BishoptonTrains are awful in this country.
Bill Whelan, LeedsRun railways for the public good not for private profit.
Amanda Kay, HeywoodIt seems the companies running the railways right now think they can get away with anything and not be held accountable.
Hayley Wingrove, WickfordPrivatisation does not work. We are still propping up private companies as they make a profit off the back of fed up commuters.
Jeff Barratt, CroydonLet’s bring it back into public ownership. Let’s just get people into work even if it runs at a loss.
Mark Williams, Alderley EdgeIt should never have been privatised.
Susan Forrest, North BerwickI believe in an integrated rail network, run as an entity for the benefit of all, without dividends paid to shareholders.
Graham Holt, DurhamI was surprised to see a news item on BBC at the weekend that Berlin is having a referendum to re-nationalise its power supply. It seems the light is dawning.
Wendy Bennett, WallaseyGet it back for the people of the UK.
Kenneth Mudd, GuisboroughFollow the East Coast example and make profit for the taxpayer.
Brian Racher, CrawleyThe whole of Britain’s railways should be in state ownership. Taxpayers / farepayers cannot afford to keep this fragmented, profit-driven farce going. BBBR.
Liz Lacey, LiverpoolI have used trains for thirty years and have experienced the service drop and prices rise consistently due to greed and incompetence. Enough of this.
Neil Chamberlain, BlackwoodBring back British Rail.
Tom McLeod, St AlbansBBBR.
Robert Carr, WivenhoeFor the benefit of the people.
Nancy Beattie, TelfordI’ve already signed a petition about this but hope this one counts as well. I hope the petition succeeds.
Fred Potter, DundeeIt should never have been privatised. We are allowing the rail companies to rip us off in return for poor services.
Maryam Shakiba, LondonRailways are a public service and should be state run and not for private profit.
Janet Clark, ChesterfieldCurrently over-priced and overcrowded, an embarrassment.
Diana Harmer, ShrewsburyOur railways should be owned and run by the state for the people and not to profit already wealthy companies and their boards.
Shaun Hall, HalsteadSince privatisation, about the only thing which I can see which has improved is the coffee. Trains are still late, overcrowded and staggeringly expensive.
Alan King, EdinburghFragmentation has wasted money on in-fighting instead of delivering a fully integrated service for business and families.
Roger Khan, LondonRe-unite British Rail.
Elizabeth Collier, LiverpoolA nationalised rail system in Britain would bring more efficient service for customers. In addition workers would be proud to work for the good of people not profit.
Dan Garraway, ChippenhamI love trains, but I don’t like the state of trains in this country. The GWR class 801s are especially shocking – first class doesn’t even have a biscuit on offer sometimes.
