Force Southern Rail (Govia) to reduce ticket prices for reduced service.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Southern Rail (Govia) have inflicted a very low quality service to passengers this year, with regular cancelled trains, misleading, incomplete or absent information, delays and severe overcrowding. They have now cut 350 services a day from July 11th 2016. They should be made to cut their fares.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Train fares are a commercial decision for Govia Southern Rail, not a decision for the Government. We have other petitions open on the site about Southern Rail. You might like to sign one of those instead.
