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

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