Unacceptable behaviour. Staff are there to do a job, not to get assaulted. Unfortunately, it is all too common now. I hope the perpetrator either gives himself up or is caught, and then is made to take responsibility for his actions.

Perhaps the politician concerned should look at the bigger picture and ask himself why he was delayed getting to the station with time to spare. There are clear notices that state train doors close x seconds prior to departure. If those doors are closed, then you miss the train and, like...

People's minds are elsewhere and I fear that this is exactly what the powers that be want at this point with other issues higher up on the list of, in my view, misguided importance.

It will be interesting to see what the press say about him and his tenure as Transport Minister as time goes by. Perhaps another scandal breaks on the likes of the Probation Service and the mess he left it. Regards the new Minister, I am not holding my breath with anticipation of all the...

I have a concessionary plus pass, so far, no problems with it, use it regularly through Bolton.

Would the train not have been able to stop at the accessible platform in this instance, I wonder?

My personal belief is that P15-16 needs to be built at some point, BUT, before then the many issues around the railway in Manchester, as set out in previous posts needs to be dealt with. I see nothing wrong with a regular Piccadilly to Airport shuttle along the lines of the many airport to city...

I think the general consensus is that Victoria needs to be looked at again, the decision to put the Arena where it is was massively short-sighted and enclosing platforms 3, 4, 5 and 6 they way they have, on what is a mainly diesel line at the current time is a major health hazard with all the...

I wonder what the data would be for Manchester Victoria? Crossing the bridge to get to platforms 4, 5 and 6, one always seems to get a really good dose of noxious fumes, most unpleasant if you ask me...

What government can't seem to grasp is that if you get the basics right, invest in a world-class public sector infrastructure, the orders will come. Those on the outside looking in, right now, see only chaos, and who wants to purchase from what is seen as a chaotic enterprise? The private sector...

Gralistair is right... All about the optics these days. Under promise, and then take the plaudits when it all comes on line EARLY.

Now now, Joseph. We all know that a certain minister in a certain department is one short of a full set, but let's not insult boiled eggs. A boiled egg is incomparable to that idiot, by far. Humour aside, I totally agree with what you say.
