Keep Safety Critical Conductors On The Train at Northern Rail

The Government Consultation Document on the future of Rail Services in the North of England proposes the removal of Safety Critical Conductors from train services in the new franchise. The intention of this petition is to OPPOSE that Recomendation and ensure that every train in the new Northern Rail Franchise has a Safety Critical Conductor on it.

Why is this important?

It is important to retain Safety Critical Conductors on Train Services ran by this franchise as they provide an effective security presence on board for all passengers, they are also there to carry out "emergency protection" of running lines in the event of an incident. Safety Critical Conductors also take on the emergency protection duties of the Train Driver should the driver become incapacitated in the unfortunate event of an incident.

Safety Critical Conductors are responsible for the provision of customer service and a punctual train service also. Ensuring a punctual, safe and efficient service for all customers.

How it will be delivered

I will deliver them in person to the UK Government and the Franchise Holder with a press presence.
