To get rid of the minimum fare on the 16-25 Railcard.
During peak times, there is a minimum fare on the 16-25 Railcard so you aren't able to use the Railcard and get a discount. I would like Government/Parliament to get rid of this minimum fare.
I use the train to get to university and most of my lectures are early morning so I'm not able to use a 16-25 Railcard because of this minimum fare. So at the moment it's cheaper for me to drive over but I don't want to do that because of my carbon footprint. There are lots of students in my position as most lectures are in the early morning. This will save students a lot of money and will encourage the use of trains and gets people off the road.
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 must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.
Decisions about the terms and conditions for the 16-25 Railcard are a matter for the rail industry, not the Government or House of Commons.
As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
