MPs to debate ending Southern (Govia) rail franchise amid ongoing failures.

Closed 117 signatures

What the petition asks

Southern has proved incapable of running a rail service, shifting blame on to the unions, Network Rail and even passengers for expecting to be able to get to and from work on time! Cutting nearly 350 daily services hasn't helped; MPs must act to take the franchise away and give metro routes to TfL.
