A petition has been launched to stop overcrowding on the Harrogate to Leeds train.
Peak-time trains, which call at Leeds, Burley Park, Headingley and Horsforth Stations on the Harrogate Line, regularly suffer from problems with overcrowding, says the petition.
The petition calls on operators Northern Rail to put more coaches on. Petitioner Nick Howard says:
"People are crammed onto the trains standing up in the [aisles] and entrances. This is a major health and safety issue as people could be injured by the doors or they could fall over in the case of the train making an emergency stop. People have been known to feint on the trains due to the lack of air.
"With the recent train fair rise people should be entitled to a seat and not made to stand for 45 minutes."
The petition can be found here.
