Full train and tube service to reduce packed key worker trains

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The Government is not responsible for tube services, which are managed by Transport for London. Some other local rail services are also a matter for local governments, and not the Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling on the Government to require rail operators providing services contracted by the Government to provide full service levels.
