What the petition asks

GNR are continuously running a bad service. They have ongoing late running trains and often cancel services due to lack of staff and broken trains. They have not invested in new rolling stock and the trains are constantly dirty, seats are broken and trains break down.
I submit some of the many twitter complaints

@darklordbarnet My train into town was cancelled making me really late. My train home was delayed then cancelled as well. @GNRailUK

@GNRailUK absolute farce at Finsbury Park tonight. Train 50 mins late. How are you short of train drivers every single day?!
