Rejected petition Take action against incompetent rail companies

Rail fares in the UK are some of the highest in the world. This wouldn't be a problem if we also had the best service in the world, but we don't. Constant delays/cancellations impact our wellbeing as well as our economy as we're missing time at work, which should motivate government to take action.

More details

South Western and Southern are main offenders but all networks should be investigated. It's an embarrassment to the nation.
