I'm sorry to hear that. I'll be doing business with them in a couple of weeks.Crosscountry Trains are rubbish too, You travel on theirs and there aren't many if any discounts available on that service.

If you go on them for some reason if you sit near the end of a carriage you can smell the bogs everytime the door between the carriages are open and unlike the Hitachi 800's the Crosscountry trains feel very enclosedI'm sorry to hear that. I'll be doing business with them in a couple of weeks.
I think I'll hitchhike instead then. It's only to Bristol!If you go on them for some reason if you sit near the end of a carriage you can smell the bogs everytime the door between the carriages are open and unlike the Hitachi 800's the Crosscountry trains feel very enclosed
I'd go GWR to Bristol if you're in that region, The one good thing about Cross-country trains is that you can go South to North and vice versa without having to go through London, That is its saving grace.I think I'll hitchhike instead then. It's only to Bristol!
No ones got it right since it was privatised except shareholders who've done very nicely out of it at the expense of the taxpayer and the misery of passengers who've had to deal with old, overcrowded late or cancelled trains and paid a fortune for that "Pleasure"I'd worry about how much influence DfT would have and how much interference those clueless Etonians will do to ruin it.
It needs a plan for 20+years. It takes that long to plan and build new lines. We don't have a political system that allows that.No ones got it right since it was privatised except shareholders who've done very nicely out of it at the expense of the taxpayer and the misery of passengers who've had to deal with old, overcrowded late or cancelled trains and paid a fortune for that "Pleasure"
You're probably right, As for freight I have noticed more and more freight trains being used and much longer ones too recently but it needs to be vastly expanded and go to more place to get freight off the road.It needs a plan for 20+years. It takes that long to plan and build new lines. We don't have a political system that allows that.
I'd also like to see more freight taken off the roads. I know that is an intention of HS2, but that doesn't serve large part of the UK.
