That is a bit unfair on cattle trucks,

It was specifically the pacers that came in for flak.

Northern questions the sample size, but even if they got 100% of users is DaFT really going to replace the pacer :cry:

This hardly constitutes a news story: I know of more than one person who has referred to Northern services as "cattle truck rail" for a long while!
