Allow full refunds on unused train tickets

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Brought a train ticket for a Wednesday, however I had to travel on a Tuesday due to a change in circumstances. However, I was unable to get a full refund on the ticket I didn't use. I subsequently had two train tickets.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The decision to allow refunds on train tickets is a matter for train operating companies.
