This is largely due to the ageing 1992 rolling stock which is no longer reliable enough to support a stable timetable. \r\n\r\nPassengers routinely experience long gaps between trains, repeated suspension of entire branches, dangerously overcrowded platforms, affecting work, childcare, education and healthcare.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2026-01-21T21:37:03.897Z","updated_at":"2026-02-20T15:56:47.458Z","rejected_at":"2026-02-20T15:44:57.093Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-01-21T21:49:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":"Not the Government/Parliament’s responsibility\r\n\r\nWe can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.
