Petition Action

Bring back the guards van on trains for large cargo.

Petition Details

Force the train companies to aquire and run empty carriages for large cargo items.

Additional Information

Far to many cyclists get turned away from trains, to enhance public mobility the gov must realise the train and bicycle work in perfect harmony. Commuters argue and pile ontop of each other with pushchairs, mobility scooters, escooters and bicycles often overflowing throughout the train.
An empty carriage for large cargo items that currently occupy the rest of the train could free up more space for commuters,
and it would allow larger items like tandem bicycles and kayaks to be moved by rail

This petition was rejected

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 storage space for bikes are a matter for individual train operators, 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.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
