There needs to be high level sackings, this situation is a joke, I wouldn't be surprised to see commuters kicking off and taking some kind of protest action some of them are paying thousands of pounds for this rubbish.
Just heard on BBC Southeast news that Southeastern is having talks with the government about extending its franchise beyond April and wants exclusive access preventing any other operators, given that they've already had previous extensions, how is this right?

2010s in a nutshell.
Modern freedoms are a green light to thuggish and unthoughtful behaviour among the underclass who then leave smelly food cartons and coffee cups all over the train tables and seats
I think that the issue is that despite having endless weekend engineering works and closures at my sister's local station Ponders End she has seen zero improvement to the service for about thirty years and to add insult to injury the station office has been permanently closed.
I'd like the government to put people who have had a long career in the railway industry in charge of the railway instead of bean counters and desk jockies
Neither of these parties are going to win so I can't see much point in talking about them, what are the conservative party going to do with the railway?
As the title suggests, I was wondering what people's dream/fantasy train would be.
Mine would be a 2EPB top and tailed by deltics being absolutely thrashd up the ECML.
I remember the day after the smoking ban watching a man being told off for smoking on the platform just as an 37 come through belching black smoke everywhere and thinking how stupid to ban smoking on a wind swept platform in the middle of nowhere.
465s could be fantastic if given a decent refurbishment and would make a good replacement for 313s , every other train company with PEP stock are getting rid of it, it's knackered.
