Rob Hopkins, Totnes, Devon.Wonderful to see this happening. Bring back British Rail (although with better time-keeping and better sandwiches.) All power to this campaign.
John Couzin, GlasgowAll essential services should be non-profit. Travel is an essential service and should belong to the people.
Paddy Costall, LondonShameful actions by respective governments have badly served the population as a whole. Labour need to get back to principles and act, before it’s too late. Some chance.
Charles Metcalfe, HaslemereI find travelling to and from my local station is often interrupted, delayed or cancelled.
Steve Adie, CarlisleRe-nationalise the railways and make them better. There are too many top bosses getting crazy pay and bonuses which should be used to improve the network.
Mary Lennon, ManchesterMy uncle and grand-dad both worked as signalmen on British Rail – so in their memories I’m signing the petition. My uncle said privatisation was the worst thing that ever happened.
Roderick Slater, EdinburghBritish Rail was much better than everything that followed.
James Ross, AddinghamGet the rail network back on track.
Christopher Worthington, PrestonI’m a student and I am so tired of being exploited by companies who want my money and feel they have no obligation to give people the transport service they deserve.
Ray Dawes, YorkSurely profit would be better in the government’s bank account to keep the money in the UK.
Paul Forrest, Bourganeuf, FranceThe French rail system is excellent, affordable, efficient.
Maureen Cooper, LondonThe railways need good management in the nationalised sector with the capacity to raise funds to make improvements.
Jim McClew, WashingtonPrivatisation of the railways has proved to be as ridiculous and impracticable a notion as it always appeared. It’s time to go back to common sense.
Sheila Lovelady, EasthamWorst things to happen, first that wretch Beeching then privatisation. A good thing is to restore it to what it was.
John Pocock, DarwenIt’s never been worse or more expensive. Return it to public ownership. It’s a no brainer.
Nathan Halperin, LondonI’m a ThamesLink commuter 5-6 days a week. It’s an utter disgrace of a service we have right now.
Alan Cook, NorwichSo many of us pay so much to line the pockets of so few.
David Marsh, DerbyA railway network to be proud of.
Kenneth Jones, TreherbertIt should never have been privatised.
June Abbott, PerthRipping off people left, right and centre.
Kyle Amps, BirminghamThe monopoly the train companies have over the lines we have no choice but to use is disgraceful and should not be tolerated
Christopher R Wintle, BirminghamAffordable travel for all.
Steve Hardy, RhylBring back nationalisation to reduce fares and generate more revenue for the Country.
Joanne Harrison, ManchesterIt’s ours. Let’s look after it properly.
Ronald Fay, GatesheadBring back British Rail – back into this country’s hands, not those of foreign companies.
Eirin Julie Ingebrigtsvoll, LondonFor the people, not private profit.
Sean Sharples, BasildonBring back British Rail for service not profit.
Naomi Durkin, Cortlandt Manor, New YorkMy dream from when I was in my 20’s was to see Britain by rail — as it had the best railroad system in the World. I hope to still do that some day. Please de-privatise.
Ellen Robson, Hemel Hempsteadbring it back. Things are a joke with these companies!!!
Ann Brown, LincolnBritish Rail was far better than any other rail company. I started work for them. Regional Railways again was a good company and then things started getting worse.
