What the petition asks
Thameslink have failed for years. Customer satisfaction is low and journeys unsafe and infrequent. We need a train service fit and reliable for the needs of London and UK economy. Strip Thameslink of franchise, stop blaming years of under funding and bring back British Rail government run trains.
This petition demands the return of government run franchise not having profits put before customer levels of safety and satisfaction. Bring back a British Rail system for failing train companies and hold them accountable in the way failing NHS or schools are supported and improved. Make UK mirror London and open for business 24hrs
