It would be a damn sight more reliable in giving a better service instead of lining someone’s pocket.

Roger Semmens, Penzance

All privatisation results in the government subsidising private profit and ripping off the consumer.

James Franks, Stoke Gifford

I can only hope that my single signature could one day pave a way to a public transport system that works, instead of the money-spinning business that we have now.

James Sheehy, Bournemouth

It’s funny how the East Coast Line is now considered to be best value and most reliable. Is it because it is publicly owned by any chance?

Kev Austin, Biggleswade

People can no longer tolerate the cost of travel.

Paul Churchill, Peterborough

How can our fares be so expensive in comparison with other countries? I’ve had to cancel a day trip because the fare was simply too much – there are no winners here.

Simon Kelleher, London

Enough is enough. The rail infrastructure in this country is beyond terrible. It’s expensive, embarrassingly bad and the companies are without culpability.

Andy Travis, London

Let us try to recover from the privatisation disaster of John Major’s government.

Ron Green, Broom

My cousin was a train driver so I’ll always support ASLEF and RMT in their campaigns. Rail keeps Britain united.

Eddie McGuire, Glasgow

Public transport should be run for the benefit of users, not shareholders.

Ann Sheppard, Hexham

Get us back on track. Bring back British Rail.

Angela Halliwell, Doncaster

The rail fares are ridiculous and should be much more cost-effective.

Jill Coleman, Middlesbrough

Nationalise the railways. Owned by the people, for the people.

Sophie Wildman, London

Since we are paying billions every year to subsidise fat cat pay and shareholder dividends we might as well own it.

John Maynard, Harrogate

I work for one of the unpopular train companies operating in the UK, and the vast majority of frontline staff want BR to return. Obviously upper management don’t.

Gary Hale, Evesham

Let us undo the great mistake that New Labour would not, when they had a golden opportunity.

John Carlisle, Sheffield

So many of us pay so much to line the pockets of so few.

Alan Cook, Norwich

Anything which helps to bring back the old system I shall be glad to be part of.

Janet Marshall, Barry

Public ownership for public transport.

Richard Le Corney, Nottingham

Public transport needs to be under common ownership, not in private hands.

Dave Dyke, Walsall

Everyone’s utterly fed up and disillusioned with this current system – it just doesn’t work.

Christine Hill, London

British Rail is best!

Paul Thacker, Newport

Prices are too high.

Aaron Malcolm, Fife

Re-nationalise all our industrial infrastructure and don’t sell them to foreign companies.

Eric Smith, Ludgershall

£8 to go 5 stops. That’s £160 a month to get to work for an £800 a month job.

Sam Wynne, Poynton

Privatisation is not the answer. Nationalisation can only improve things.

Paul Campbell, Doncaster

good luck with Your campaign

Adam Hiley, Upminster

Privatisation has not worked. Public subsidies have tripled, fares are much more expensive and investment levels inadequate. It’s not what we were promised at privatisation.

David Herbert, Sunderland

Privatisation has made our railway one of the most expensive in Europe per passenger mile. It’s been a disaster.

Anthony Stanton, Cambridge

We need an integrated national rail system, with profits going back into infrastructure, not shareholders’ pockets.

Lesley Typhair, London
