        Haven't used a train for a long time and no plans to unless there's no other choice.

          I'm saying nothing. But the bus driver apologised at the weekend for being one minute late.

              Pre-recorded apologies here!

              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.

                The ToCs run the ticket offices though, not NR.
