Closed Investigate Northerns poor running of Northern Rail and revoke their franchise.

Closed on

Northern Rail have proven they are not fit to run a rail franchise. Between issues with cancellations and delays. Poorly maintained rolling stock, over charging for tickets, the fiasco of their time table change and more recently their inability to handle strikes in a way that will resolve them.

Northern need to be actively and impartially investigated by an external body. If they are found to be as lacking as they appear their franchise should be forcefully revoked and put up for tender to companies who are vaguely competent.
