My view is you should not be allowed to open items brought onto the train, but you can buy from Buffet or be served at seat. (Staff can always say no more) And people must be able to carry sealed on board as they may be going home from shopping. I have a friend who was given a bottle of whisky...

Well it runs tomorrow but the run from Strood is Empty Coaching Stock

Only scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday this week according to RealTimeTrains site. Also they don't seem to be worrying about their timetable Arrived late from Depot but started first trip 30 minutes early

Well it needs something sorted as service is us usable in my view. My daughter lives 5 minutes from one of the stations but interchange times are shocking. I am visiting and then travelling to Birmingham for a day trip. Have to be collected at Chester as interchange times mean a 40 minute wait...

The units will probably last 40 years + however as new units become more reliable it will actually be cheaper to buy more modern units earlier instead of heavy maintenance

Many thanks
