Rejected petition Ban reserved seats on trains for the able bodied.

I am a frequent long distance train commuter who either cannot find a seat that is not reserved for later in the journey or has to change seats because they have become reserved after I have sat in them.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is an operational decision for train operating companies.

You could start a new petition for this to be included as a requirement in all rail franchise agreements between train operating companies and the Department for Transport.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
