Stop the cancellation of the 8:20 dewsbury to huddersfield train!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Recent train timetable changes to the transpennine express services have caused upset and distress to the regular commuters that rely on the 8:20 train to get to work and college. The 8:20 provides a perfect morning that doesn’t require stress or sleep exhaustion due to having to wake up early.
Hundreds of students get the 8:20 train every week, happily walking up the hill with just enough time to get to lesson. The new 8:30 train results in being late for lessons everyday- which negatively impacts our education and future career chances. Not only is it convenient, it brings people together- many friendships have been formed and strengthened on this train. Do not cancel the 8:20.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Train timetables are the responsibility of train operating companies. You may wish to contact the train company directly about this issue.
