Petition · past parliament

Give Virgin trains back the west coast franchise

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

I have used this service regularly since 2006 and unlike any other rail provider in the UK, never had any problems. This is more important to commuters than any other issue, but they also win hands down on price and frequency, cleanliness and on board facilities.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Review the DFT’s decision to disqualify Virgin Trains from WCP franchise bid.
