• Don't cut funding for children's school buses
    In September Thetford Academy are cutting funding to Lewis Coaches so that they no longer run the bus service for our children to get to school. I have no other way of getting my 12 year old to and from school. And many other parents are in the same position. Please don't compromise the safety or education of our children.

  • Re placement Gates
    Gates have been erected at Maudland Road thru to Seymore Road, South Shore, Blackpool, it is understood the gates were for the security of the rear of St Heliers Road. The placement of the gates has restricted access to and from Bancroft park and the South Shore area as well as easier access to bus routes on Lytham Road and the main gate of Blackpool Gateway Academy. These inconveniences have had a detrimental effect on the residents of St Heliers Road, Saville Road, Maudland Road, Baron Road, Stansfield Street and Central Drive and beyond. The problems cover a range of issues, namely lowered security, health issues, traffic problems and the general wellbeing of the community. Repositioning the access to this walk way will allow access to Bancroft park and South Shore and improve the wellbeing of many of the residents.

  • Inadequate Bus Service
    It is important because I lose wages when a bus doesn't turn up and make me late for work.Having to get taxis after work when a bus doesn't turn up because there is an hour wait. I currently use the Arriva bus app which tracks buses. Even that clearly doesnt work properly. If a bus does break down how can they not let people know either on the website of even on social media. (Group of people run facebook page and their always there to help??? Not once have they helped. Its not hard to write about a bus breaking down and possible delays). I buy a weekly bus ticket every week but seems it's just a waste of money. I know plenty of you guys feel the same about arriva. Please sign to show them people power is stronger

  • SAVE OUR GUARDS
    This is important because of health and safety issues - what if someone is having a heart attack on board and no guard to offer assistance, if the train is involved in an accident there needs to be a guard to asisst the driver etc,,,,etc,,,,etc Some fantastic news is my local parliamentarian Jeff Smith MP for Withington, Manchester is supporting this campaign, here is his message:- Dear Prince Frederick, Thank you for contacting me recently about increasing rail fares, service cuts, and staff reductions on the UK rail network. I believe that our railways are a vital public service and I agree that it is deeply concerning that rail fares increased 3.4% in January 2018. This staggering increase is the biggest fare rise in the last five years, and I am concerned that it is making rail travel unaffordable for many people. Pricing passengers off the railway threatens the sustainability of the network as a whole, and I believe the Government should cap rail fares with the consumer price index to provide clarity on pricing. As you are aware, the RMT has been campaigning against the expansion of Driver Only Operation (DOO) services and cuts to staffing across the rail network. I agree that the Government should halt the expansion of DOO services and stop cutting jobs across the railway industry to ensure that staffing levels remain safe at all times. I am committed to prioritising public service over private profit, which is why the manifesto I stood on at the 2017 General Election pledged to bring our railways back into public ownership. I believe this would allow us to provide passengers with real benefits, such as capped fares and free Wi-Fi across the rail network. I am confident that taking back control of our railways would provide tangible benefits for the rail users across the UK. I believe our fragmented, privatised railway has driven up costs and left passengers paying more for less. Furthermore, I am concerned that the Government has the wrong priorities for the railway, as it has chosen to award Stagecoach and Virgin a £2 billion taxpayer bailout, at the same time as implementing the steepest fares hike in five years, de-staffing trains and pulling promised investment. Thank you again for making me aware of your views on this issue. I can assure you that I will continue to fight for a properly funded railway run in the public interest, with fair fares and adequate staffing. Yours sincerely, Jeff Smith MP for Manchester Withington 0161 445 0678 (Manchester Withington Office) Unit 1, Withington Fire Station, 505-507 Wilmslow Road, Withington, M20 4AW 0207 219 5878 (office in Parliament) House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA

  • Celebrate Religious Diversity
    Christians are officially the most persecuted minority in the world at the moment, Jews have a long and painful history of persecution and Islamophobia is prevalent in our society. It would be wonderful for SE railway to start conversations amongst customers and colleagues by demonstrating how much all of these groups have in common. It would also combat religious illiteracy which is leading to intolerance in our society.

  • Bus service for residents on the quay and Riverside view
    The Riverside view estate is quite isolated and can be dangerous to walk to and from. With the wagons that speed down the quay with no obvious speed limit indicated and the industrial estate behind is a hazard to walk through. The nearest bus service is the 11 from the marsh which is 15-20 minute walk away, or a 35 minute walk into the town centre which can be issue for young families, people who are unable to drive, disabled and the elderly.

  • Hourly Bus Service between Ascot and Legoland
    The first bus to Windsor from North Street is 10.05 am, therefore people are unable to get to hospital appointments or their places of work. The last bus from Windsor to North Ascot is at 3.46 pm, therefore anyone working or going to late hospital appointments , or travelling from Slough is left stranded. This bus service has been changed to a 2-hour service, so anyone missing a bus has to wait for 2 hours.

  • Sacked for attempting to take his legally upheld break
    Because it sets a dangerous precedent if companies are allowed to ignore UK and EU employment law and act in contempt of the Employment Appeals Tribunal in Croydon, which ruled the Working Time Directive in relation to the Rest breaks applied. Peter Lee was a loyal employee of Network Rail, he was employed as a signaller for a total of 44 years. He had an unblemished record. 44 years unblemished service wiped out for taking a 20 minute lawful break. Arundel Signalman sacked by Network Rail. Shame on Network Rail for denying their employee a lawful break. It is also a big safety issue because signallers need a break to make sure they can work safely.

  • Save the 77 bus to John o' Groats
    From 20 August the 77 from Wick is to terminate in Keiss. Three villages between there and John o' Groats will lose access to any public bus service. People will be unable to get to Gills Harbour via John o' Groats by bus to catch the independent ferries to Orkney. Not only tourists are affected; locals will no longer be able to get to work. Several people who work in the area will be compromised. Locals north of Keiss will be unable to attend medical appointments in Wick by direct bus link, or visit relatives in hospital or care homes there. Children will not be able to attend extra-curricular activities. Stagecoach maintain people will still be able to get to Wick from John o' Groats - they catch the Thurso service and change buses at Castletown. But this connection might only allow one return trip a day and will add hours to journey time. No one travelling on the X99 bus from Inverness to John o' Groats will be able to get off at Wick any more. They will have to go on to Thurso, which is a longer journey, and they will have to hope there is a bus to John o' Groats at the end of it. This will affect tourism, local businesses and local people. This part of Caithness is remote enough without the bus provider making it even more remote. Not everyone has a car or can drive. It will greatly affect the elderly and the disabled; vulnerable people.

  • Instant Rail Travel Refunds
    Time is the most precious commodity we have. It is unacceptable for all of us to be late for work and equally disappointing and disruptive for us to get home late to our families every evening. Most of us have very tight busy schedules that make it imperative that we reach our destinations on time. For years now the British public have put up with the incompetent service provided by an array of rail companies. I propose that an instant refund should be applied immediately to your Oyster card when exiting a station for a severely delayed or cancelled service will firstly compensate the commuter for their disrupted journey, but also encourage rail companies to rectify the problem quickly for future journeys before they see their profits plummet via refunds. There must be a consequence for the rail companies when they are not delivering an efficient service. Commuters are the only ones that are suffering at the moment and I believe it is time to give something back to the commuter until the problem can be solved. I am aware that there are 3rd party companies that can search and claim refunds on your behalf but why is this not just standard from TFL why do I need to share my data with an outside unknown source in order to get compensation. Its should be immediate and provided by the TFL themselves. Lets make it happen.
