What the petition asks
Remove the franchise from First/MTR
and return the franchise to South West Trains (stagecoach)
and return the franchise to South West Trains (stagecoach)
Since this franchise has been taken over by First/MTR passengers have expected soaring delays and cancellations across the whole of South Western network.
Passengers are now expecting strike action. Due to the First/MTR wishing to scrap the guard on the train.
South West Trains main purpose was too always have a second member of staff on board.
So by signing this petition you can help to bring South West Trains (stagecoach) back & keep the second member of crew on board the service.
