Southern Rail to put a health warning on tickets, during their improvement plan.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

We ask Parliament to debate the current effects of Southern Rail’s management strategy on the health & livelihood of passengers & their families, communities & employers. Do passengers have to accept that this service has to get appreciably worse over several months or years before it gets better?
This year Southern Rail passengers have faced months of prolonged chaotic travel, overcrowding on trains & platforms with no end in sight, perhaps not until 2018. This is an immediate concern, particularly for those needing assistance.

There are growing reports of safety issues from passengers, on social media & voiced during recent public meetings with Senior Southern Management. These include serious incidents & near miss accidents that do not seem to be logged through current safety systems.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

This petition has been rejected because it is not clear what you are asking the UK Government or Parliament to do - specifically what is meant by placing a "health warning" on tickets.
