Petition Strip Great Western Railway of the South West rail franchise and reduce prices

GWR has one of the lowest satisfaction rates of any train line in the UK. The trains are often overcrowded and delayed, the reservations system doesn’t work and the ticket prices increase unreasonably highly every year. Despite the importance of the line, GWR are out of touch with the public.

More details

GWR run a service that is not fit for purpose in the South West, missing out of nearly all of its punctuality targets. The chairs on the service are shockingly uncomfortable, and the procedure for claiming refunds is extremely difficult and time-consuming. The bad service has gone on long enough.
