Now our nice new trains are coming, I can no longer book a seat. I've done so for the last two years, travelling from Oxenholme to Manchester OR daily. Much to the envy of many who stand every day, I get to sit.
Now " because the booking system doesn't know which train is running" they wont book any seats. New trains 5 carriages, 60+ seats per carriage. So book seats on four 50 seat carriages as they do now. Then it doesn't matter what set turn up. Lazy programming.... So I get the privilege of standing for 65 minutes a day, as I doubt the new trains are big enough - bigger yes, but not big enough!
Don't even get me started on punctuality. Four times in two years...... Normally 10 mins late to work and 10 late home. Minimum.
