Hi everyone,
I’m so excited to share two big wins for this campaign:
✅ Transport Focus — the national rail watchdog — has reviewed our case and officially agrees that the current ticketing system is unfair to night shift workers. In their words:
“Having to purchase two train tickets due to current day ticket restrictions is very unfair… The proposal of an alternative ticket type that lasts 24 hours from the time of use… is a great idea and could be really beneficial.”
They’ve also said they’ll work to convince the industry to change the current system — which is a massive step forward for all of us.
💬 This means the issue is real, recognised, and being taken seriously at a national level.
✅ And even better — the UK Parliament petition for an NHS Railcard is now officially live! You can sign it here:

🔁 Please keep sharing this petition and the Parliament one too. Every voice matters.
🎥 I've posted some videos in my Youtube, Instagram and Tiktok accounts supporting my campaings. If you’d like to share them, you can find the link below:
