It's good of Eye to give us a vote on the next Chairman of Network Rail, but did you know the Government allows us a vote on DfT policy, which they will then of course ignore?
I have picked out 10 from the DfT section of the Government e-petitions website for Eye readers to consider.
- Stop HS2
- Thameslink Rolling Stock Decision Protest
- Renationalise the Railways
- Reinstate the 1% Cap on Rail fares
- Support HS2
- Reopen closed railway lines and stations
- Strip First Capital Connect of its Franchise
- Remove Ticket Barriers at Stations
- Make the Railways really competitive
- Move all freight onto the Railways
My particular favourite, for which I wish to enlist support, is that devoted to the Battle of the Barriers.
It isn't mine so don't quibble about the wording.
Just sign it and DfT might take some notice, which so far they have declined to do.
The King's Cross barrier shambles is evidence of their culpability.
