What the petition asks
All trains at peak times are either delayed or cancelled and have been for a number of months. I do not see why we are paying for a delayed service! until the trains start running on time and the crew shortage is over all travel on them should be free for all.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
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.
