What the petition asks
Southern rail is increasingly awful, to the point it can no longer be relied on as a service that will get you to your job/ doctors etc, or even home- we are now regretfully moving towns because of this. Anyone south of the Thames pays exuberant amounts of money for a service that does not work.
This is a headline story in the news .. to name just a few
