I am concerned for people travelling by Trains

[Northstander]

Should we all bombard the train companies with emails etc showing the error of their ways due to the big weekend.

This will ensure the unfortunate ones travelling by trains will get there in time!!!

I am concerned for people travelling by Trains . . . . . .

no offence to anyone who does actually live in a shopping trolley

With nearly 200,000 people descending on cardiff this weekend most of them via Paddington-bristol-cardiff line you thought they might have prepared for it, but obviously too much trouble for them.

Privatised railways are a f*****g joke

I'm glad i'm on the coach, now about them roadworks........

One day lets hope somehow that the railways are once again nationalised.

But I doubt thet will ever happen

Must admit I was initially pissed off with having to go by coach, but now I'm not so sure.....

More to the point, if the railway companies want to play the game properly, they should be handing over shares to all significant investors. Which, given the vast amounts of the state's/taxpayers' money that is handed over to them in subsidy (more than the nationalised railways EVER received), means that very quickly indeed we would see the state as majority shareholder.

Truly privatised? Then stop begging for more subsidies, you despicable twats.

good point,

so even though it was privatised and a few fat c***s got payouts, the state still funds it and the nation pays for it, so it should still really be a national concern

I say lynch the bastards and appoint a public transport minister

Lord B . . .fancy a new job ?

For those catching the special charter train you may be relieved - or possibly not - by the knowledge that it's being run by "The UK's main railfreight operating company" English Welsh & Scottish Railways.

Wozza . . . .you da man . . . .I guess after a Friday night with a few lady tennis players you pulled in the Ivy you allowed a night off !

What exactly is the incentive for a train company to provide additional services?

People will buy a train ticket before their journey. If they all get squashed on a train, or have to stand or whatever the train company is still getting the money.

They won't get any extra for forking out on extra trains/staff.
