Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition calling on the Government to require train companies, as part of their franchise agreements, to allow passengers to buy tickets on trains.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
