David Long, LichfieldA very just fight.
William Hall, HatfieldPrivatise rail companies put profits ahead of passengers and continue to offer the travelling public a third rate service.
Liz Moon, LetchworthAs soon as possible.
Quinn Ellis, NottinghamIt’s imperative that all passenger services are put back into public ownership, that ticket prices are halved and investment doubled.
Alice Ellis-Bray, PenzanceIncredible campaign and petition! This brings me such hope. Thank you! Our earth needs affordable public transport for all!
Wendy Squires, LutonThe East Coast Line proves that public is at least better. More public money going in now than before privatisation – to shareholders.
Susan Roberts, AbertilleryRegrettably, commonsense isn’t too common. This is undeniably achievable, so let’s do it.
Nick Gregory, DeesideWe live in a beautiful country and I want to share it with my kids, but the cost of rail travel is obscene and prohibitive. Let us have our railways back.
Rob Lucas, Ross-on-WyeThe time has come to undo much of the havoc wrought be the unlamented Margaret Thatcher.
Peter Wormald, KnaresboroughTrain services used to ‘connect’. Since privatisation came in ‘connecting’ has become a chance event.
Andy Longshaw, MacclesfieldNon-discounted fares are now ludicrously high. Another fake privatisation creating a private sector monopoly.
Jane Norris, LondonI whole-heartedly support this.
Martin Egan, TorbayIf Mr Miliband tore up his advisers’ scripts and enunciated this as a serious aim for next year he could just win to give this notion real traction.
Maureen Hunter, Cleator MoorLet’s share the efficiencies and the profits – not just the abyss of subsidies. Fair shares for all.
Adam Moon, BristolBring back British Rail.
Cristian Gurran, RotherhamFree market capitalism is not the answer to everything and is certainly not the optimal solution to how a country should provide essential services to its population.
Sarah Ollier, DerbyAs a student it costs me £10.70 per day for a 20minute journey that is often delayed. I want to use sustainable transport but I lose a lot of time and money.
Jennifer Wyatt, SomersetIt took one man to destroy our railways. How many will it take to bring them back?
Steve Gowlett, NorwichChris Green got it right with NSE but was unallowed to continue because freeloaders of the right wing were not able to capitalise on it.
David Berry, WiganRe-nationalise our railways now.
Janet Bungay, BidefordCompare and contrast British and Spanish (state-owned) railways. British are way down.
John A K Davies, HaverfordwestArriva Trains Wales is state-owned – by Germany.
Peter McQueen, CreweBring it back into public ownership.
Elizabeth Bentley, LondonStop subsidising private companies and use the money to run our rail system more efficiently.
Tony Kime, KelsoThe railways are a public service.
Pete Dass, BristolWhy is UK public transport so expensive, worn and dirty? Just look at Europe; they have got it right – cheap, clean, nationalised public transport. Bring it back!
Ben Dowsett, LondonI’m sick to death of disjointed railways.
Ivor Wilson, WareStop ripping us off.
Ahsan Naseer, BirminghamPlease bring back real rail travel in the UK.
Simon Tilley, NorthamptonI hate London Midland and their never ending list of excuses. I want a system of fair and proportionate rail fares.
