Stop or reduce Southeastern railway fare increase for 2019
Southeastern trains have suffered delay after delay and cannot deliver on their timetable. This would warrant an argument of unfair dominance towards their 3+% rise for 2019.
Customers believe this is unfair and an abuse of their power over commuters.
The train company has not hit it's targets which they alone set.
With peak services into London being late almost everyday in and out.
Constant signal failures or trespassers and broken down trains see's only the fare paying travellers suffer.
Services are getting worse overall year on year.
Action needs to start to prevent fare rises when services promised are not met.
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:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The price of train tickets is the responsibility of train operating companies.
While the UK Government and Parliament do not directly set the price of train tickets, the Government can set the rate by which train operating companies can raise some ticket prices. You could start a new petition calling on the Government to change this rate, or a petition asking for other changes to the way in which train fares are set.
If you want the Government freeze rail fares across British service providers in January 2019, you may wish to sign this petition instead:
