This petition was rejected

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
