Just want to see what people think of their previous local TOCs vs the one they have now.
I am aware the some areas only ever had one of them like, South West Trains, Virgin West Coast and First Great Western (1st area).
Wonder if any people actually preferred their former TOC and now currently have an inferior one?
My former one was the downright awful Connex in Brighton. Admittedly, they had to deal with the old Slam door stock, but it they were incapable of running to time!
On a personal level though, they did introduce a Brighton-Rugby service which made it very convenient to visit my brother in Northampton
Sadly, this service was lost along with numerous others from Brighton.
