Patricia Gurney, NewarkWe are the people of Britain and we want our railways back.
Paul Oliver, MexboroughStop the fat cats and bring back a national rail service which would be safer and modern.
Morag Goldsmith, DarlingtonThe taxpayers and passengers pay out and get nothing back. East Coast line is a good example of how things should be.
Jackson Stubbs, SunderlandTrains are becoming overpriced for the working man.
Anthony Davis, LondonI daily use trains and the prices keep going up and up and the service getting worse and worse. This should be non-profit and the government should be at the helm.
Sarah Bowen, ChelmsfordWe commuters have no choice but to catch trains, and are held to ransom by train operators, who have their shareholders’ interests at heart, over and above their passengers.
Will Benton, Godalming£4,116 for an annual season ticket to work – 20% of my income. What for? Slow trains, sitting on the floor and heated carriages in the summer. BBBR I say!
Nancy Burn, Newcastle-upon-TyneI want a rail service with straightforward pricing, regular services, great customer service and a good infrastructure.
Pat Williams, OxfordKeep the East Coast main line in public ownership. Run the services by putting passengers first rather than profit. That is what we need railways and trains for.
Ian Clark, AylesburyIt should never have been sold off in the first place, Give it back to the people.
Alexia Johnson, SouthendFairer working times. Working a 13 day stint on a roster is not good for productivity.
James Fowler, LondonRe-nationalisation is the only solution to the horror show that is our franchise system.
Colin Crowther, SwindonRe-nationalise BR and whilst you are at it, do the same for the utilities companies.
Joe Mullen, LiverpoolIt was better then anyway.
Colin Robson, WakefieldRe-nationalise please. East Coast mainline proves it can work.
Elliot Ellison, BristolI’d happily pay more tax for a smoother, cheaper, nicer, national railway system.
Nigel Smith, LondonRe-nationalisation is long overdue.
James Sheehy, BournemouthI 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.
Dee Grimes, LewesWe need to own the railways. They were on time, clean and often newly refurbished, and there was cheaper food.
Dympna Child, WareEnough is Enough. Stop robbing people and making their lives a misery. All everyone wants is to be able to get to their job at an affordable cost.
Sue Ahrens, WatfordIt’s clearly sensible.
Frances PriestAccess to decent affordable transport for all will contribute towards levelling inequality and support collaboration, productivity and a growing economy.
Pat Campton, HullThese people are ripping off the British public big time. Most of us can no longer afford to go anywhere by train. The pricing system is ludicrously complicated.
Dave Murray, Newcastle-upon-TyneIt should never have been privatised in the first place.
Joel Sargeant, Narre WarrenWe should make sure that the people who own the railways, i.e. the public, should be British.
David Sleet, YorkIf profits can be made by British Rail, they should be ploughed back into the system, not distributed to the already-wealthy shareholders.
Marie Gilman, RotherhamOne unified organisation is what we need. It should never have been privatised.
Christine Butler, MansfieldThe railways should be run for the benefit of people, not profiteering shareholders. Nothing has improved since privatisation, except their bank balances.
Nicholas Stamper, EpsomTake the power away from the few and give it to the many. Rise comrades.
Roger Luffman, BournemouthA major problem: EU does not allow re-nationalisation. So it’s necessary to leave the EU to bring back BR. I’m game for that, are you?
