I can't understand why some people think the new trains 2009/S8/7 stock is " Damn awful"
Yes they may not have as much character as the old trains, but they are most certainly more passenger friendly. The old trains may be more reliable such as less to go wrong, 2009 and S stocks have probably...
Really its a shame the D stock is being scrapped so early compared to the likes of the 67-A stock and C stocks which are in the 45-50 year old range. The D stock is only around 35 years old. Also they were refurbished quite recently too, but i suppose nothing lasts forever and soon we can...
The trouble is my friend used to be very reliable he would often turn up all the time, lately as i have said on my earlier post lately he has been letting me down. Infact he texted me do you want to meet up he said yes. I said are you sure now? then about 5 hours later " Oh sorry mate cant meet...

last time i were on 4010 the brakes were very grindy and felt like it was not going to slow down. I am pleased this £100 million funding has been agreed! Will this speed up the turnaround for refurbishing cars?
Hi,
this may be a little different to my usual posts but i feel i need to get this off my chest! I have a friend who is nice but unreliable, tends to fail to meet up and makes lame exuses all the time for example he asked me to meet up this weekend i said you sure? then he text and say " sorry...
Might have the lowest carownership overall but there is still often long traffic jams at peak times. Really the North east is quite compact to the likes of other citys so in my opinion there is not much need for a car. We do have frequent buses, metro's.
