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. Decisions on service patterns would be a matter for LNER.

You could start a petition calling for the Government to fund a direct rail service from Spalding to London, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
