I witnessed the death of a young person and believe more could be done to save lives.","additional_details":"I witnessed the tragic death of a young person on the railway. No family should have to lose a loved one in this way, and no member of the public, train staff or emergency services should have to experience preventable tragedies if more can be done. I recognise that not every incident can be prevented, but I believe the Government should do more to reduce the number of deaths and serious incidents on the railway. This should include working with train operating companies, mental health services and safety experts to identify high-risk locations and implement effective preventative measures.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":22,"closing_date":"2027-01-30","created_at":"2026-06-30T18:38:04.909Z","updated_at":"2026-07-31T03:08:10.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-07-30T08:30:49.021Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-06-30T19:19:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Amina (Tara) Ahmed","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DfT","name":"Department for Transport","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-transport"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":22}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Ashford","ons_code":"E14001069","mp":"Sojan Joseph MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Christchurch","ons_code":"E14001171","mp":"Sir Christopher Chope MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Thanet","ons_code":"E14001216","mp":"Ms Polly Billington MP","signature_count":8},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Faversham and Mid Kent","ons_code":"E14001235","mp":"Helen Whately MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Herne Bay and Sandwich","ons_code":"E14001282","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Roger Gale MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"Kingswinford and South Staffordshire","ons_code":"E14001316","mp":"Mike Wood MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Luton South and South Bedfordshire","ons_code":"E14001346","mp":"Rachel Hopkins MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Maidstone and Malling","ons_code":"E14001349","mp":"Helen Grant MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Norwich South","ons_code":"E14001409","mp":"Clive Lewis MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Tunbridge Wells","ons_code":"E14001555","mp":"Mike Martin MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":1},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":2},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":17},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":2}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
