What the petition asks
Southern passengers are suffering the worst delays in the country and this has gone on long enough. For the sake of passengers, the government needs to take immediate action, including stripping Govia Thameslink Railway of its franchise and agreeing a resolution with employees
Further annoucements were made today about Christmas strikes by drivers and conductors - we believe the company is incompetent and unable to negotiate with their staff. This has gone on long enough - our commuting lives are stressfull and we never know wheter we will make it to work, be late or have unplanned cancellations. Handing out pamplets blaming staff is not on - we ask the Governnment to take this matter in hand decisively and put an end to this now please.
