Create "Hot Seats" on tubes which are ONLY for pregnant women.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government and TFL to work together to create "Hot Seats" which are specifically designated for pregnant women only. If there are no pregnant women then anyone can sit there however once she comes on the train then it is mandatory for the seat to be offered and not optional.

I would like new "baby on board badges" to be issued- Colour theme to match these "hot seats" on the train. I am fed up seeing pregnant women standing when they are visibly pregnant and have the "baby on board badge". I want women to be able to get onto any entrance of the train to get "priority seats" which are dotted throughout the train. I do not think our elderly and pregnant women should be the once offering seats to each other.

Linda V F Graham.
