Closed petition Stop the scrapping of Rail Franchising

Rail Franchises have been in place for over 20 years and changing the UK rail system again could cause mass confusion.

More details

Rail franchises can have a personal and strong connection for anyone who has travelled on rail in the UK. Changing the system again could result in confusion and anger. The country is already in a tough state at the moment and sometimes keeping things the same is the answer.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
