Seriously though, how network rail and the train operators can consistently **** up the trains to the extent they do is just beyond belief.
This morning I almost lost it, every ticket window manned by a trainee and a trainer, massive queues and its rush hour. Simple common sense would be to either train them off peak time or to train one at a time so at least the customers aren't impacted by the that days extra level of incompetence.Last edited by Spacecadet; 6 October 2011, 21:05.Coffee's for closersComment
