Secretary State for Transport to intervene to resolve chaos of new GTR timetable
The new Govia Thameslink timetable has caused untold misery for commuters and left front line railway staff to bear the brunt of angry & frustrated commuters as hundreds of services are cancelled or changed. The Secretary of State must intervene & hold this company to account
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not exactly sure what you want the Secretary of State for Transport to do. In particular we're not sure what you mean by "intervene and hold this company to account".
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
If you want the Government to remove Govia Thameslink Railway's contract, you may wish to sign this petition instead: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/220440
If you want the previous time table to be reinstated, you may wish to sign this petition instead: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/220566
