Rejected petition Renationalise the railways!

More details

All subsidies given to the railways must end and all upgrades to the network must be paid for by the people who own the railways, not the paying customers.

I can not think of one valid reason why the paying public should pay for the upkeep and extension of the railways when the public does not own the railways in the first place.
