Steve Ford, WinchesterEach year the service gets worse and worse. It’s hugely expensive.
P Stone, LondonService.
Laura Strathearn, SheffieldRe-nationalisation of BR is of paramount and urgent importance for the improvement and cohesion of a patchy and unsatisfactory system.
Paul Taylor, RickmansworthPublic transport should be run by the state on behalf of the people.
David Buttle, WinchesterThe biggest mistake was to privatise the railways. I am a working volunteer on heritage rail and grandson of an LNER staff member from Stockton station.
Ian Harvey, PaigntonPlease re-nationalise all public utilities and buses too.
Tracey Muir, ChesterFares are unaffordable yet the service is worse than ever. Re-nationalise British Rail.
Wilson Newbould, LivingstonThis is another example of politicians giving individuals increased power and influence to the unelected. Why?
Anna Petts, AbergavennyJust try it.
Luis Galan Gomez, West MidlandsIn general, the best train services in Europe are given by public companies.
William Chivers, LeedsI still believe re-nationalisation of the UK’s Rail Network may be a potential key answer as far as I’m concerned.
Charles Naylor, YorkThe pricing of tickets is farcical and needs reform – a Government initiative through BR would help to resolve this.
John Walker, BradfordPeople, not profit.
Alison Harris, PontefractRailways and other forms of public transport should be subsidised by the state for the benefit of the users and employees and not for shareholders in private companies.
Peter Dillon, SheffieldPrivatisation has given us a very expensive and inefficient way of travelling. It never worked and never will.
Terry Bigley, HinckleyBritish Rail gave a comprehensive straightforward national service instead of the current fragmented service which has to pay for dozens of chief executives.
Jim Mills, GlasgowHaving recently retired after 41 years’ railway service the quicker it is re-nationalised the better. The TOCs are only interested in the profit margin.
Can Gencer, TwickenhamI’m disgruntled with a sub-par train service.
Alan Taylor, CoalvilleAn infrastructure that serves the whole country should never be in the hands of private companies. East Coast Rail has proved this.
Leighton Lewis, AberdarePrivatisation only lets ministers obtain public funds to line their pockets.
Vic Bagshaw, StockportAll sold-off businesses should be re-nationalised.
Jean Pratt, ChesterfieldWe are giving too much heritage away to private companies. Many more people are travelling by rail these days. Surely it can be run profitably with all of us benefiting.
Cesar Guzman, Tijuana, MexicoSaludos.
Chay Paterson, ManchesterRail should be re-nationalised so that all the profits are re-invested, and nothing paid out as dividends.
Andrew Macmillan, GlasgowTime to put the resources of the community back into community ownership.
Peter Allerhand, MonmouthPrivatisation is a poor way to treat the general public whose ownership of nationalised industries has been devastated by corporate greed and petty politics.
Kevin Rouse, LutonI fully support this petition.
William Rayner, BoltonGive us our railways back.
William Boyle, GlasgowSave the country a fortune, do it now.
Haotian Zheng, GlasgowI am very much in favour of nationalising UK rail. On my first day in the UK I had train cancellations on the Avanti West Coast. I hope the country can bring British Rail.
