Petition to Parliament to Terminate First Capital Connect's Franchise

To the House of Commons.

The Petition of residents of Sutton and Cheam and users of First Capital

Connect services, and others,

Declares that the ongoing disruption to the First Capital Connect service

travelling into London needs to stop; timetables have been severely

reduced due to mismanagement by First Capital Connect, which has not

employed enough drivers to cover the shifts needed; commuters are

having to find alternate routes into work and school, adding considerable

time and expense to their daily journeys;

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons call on Her

Majesties Government to recognise that due to this gross lack of

competence, that the current disruption to services be treated as a breach

of the franchise and that the Secretary of State for Transport serves

immediate notice to terminate the franchise agreement with First Capital

Connect and offer it to a more capable organisation.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.

    If you are a resident of the Sutton and Cheam constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
