This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Increase the number of train carriages in greater manchester during peak times.
Each day the peak time trains are crammed full, people are squashed along the carriage, this leaves people hot and claustrophobic during their journey to and from work. It is extremely uncomfortable each day and also very dangerous if a problem was to arise within the carriage.
More details
Between 7:30 up until 9:00, most trains are the same, passengers are packed in like sardines, this is a terrible way to have to travel to work after paying for the service. The risk factor is also very high, if a passenger has any issues or serious problems for which they need to exit the train, it would become a difficult task to get around the number of people blocking pathway to the exit.

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This is the responsibility of train operating companies, not the UK Government. You could raise this directly with the company that runs these services.
