Cheers for sharing Steve. Knew it didn’t add up but this article articulates it really well. Been asked to pull together a response to the Govt consultation on this and I’ll be heavily borrowing from this!

There’s no accounting for taste. Or critical thinking ability. Or self respect.

Just got on a train that was on time. I stand corrected and humbled 😅

Ha I actually moved down to Hertfordshire just last week. But it was just as bad up North (possibly worse?)

Ha not the convoy of ticket inspectors!! 😅 Too soon… too soon.

I don’t think I’ve been on a train that’s been on time in the past six months at least. Where is my money going?!!!

We really don’t want people to use public transport in this country, do we? Despite all the nice words to the contrary.

Fuel duty remains frozen, train fares rise by circa 5%.

If we were going to design an inefficient, unaffordable, unreliable system, this would be it!

I think the simpler explanation is that she’s just deeply fucking weird 😅

I claimed delay repay for a journey last month. Two trains, two diff companies. Currently they’re ping ponging me between them as neither is willing to accept culpability for me getting home 3+hrs late (they both accept SOMEONE is to blame, it’s just the other guy, honest guv).
