Rejected

What the petition asks
Rail commuters are suffering. Fares are rising faster than wages on railway run for profit and we have the government propping these companies up with millions of pounds. The collapse of Virgin Trains East Coast proves that the system is flawed and money driven companies are damaging our railways.
