Rejected petition Strip Northern rail of their franchise

Arriva/Northern Rail have been failing passengers for years. 2018 has seen a marked decline in services. They refuse to deal with complaints and actively lie about the reasons for cancellations or delays, nothing but contempt for passengers. They are not capable of running a railway.
