Is this the one being presented by Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford?
Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford climb on board Britain's trains to find out whether, with crammed carriages, declining punctuality and high fares, they offer value for money.
Nothing like a bit of 'Red Top TV' on the beeb.
Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford climb aboard Britain's trains to find out whether customers are getting value for money from the £8billion of fares and £4billion of public money that go into the railway industry each year. They discover a system that is struggling to contend with an outdated infrastructure and more passengers than at any time in living memory. The former stars of The Apprentice meet irate commuters, train-operating company bosses and the head of Network Rail, and unearth evidence of bureaucracy and inefficiency
How long before we have a comparison between a walk-up rail ticket and a booked 3 months in advance flight, a comparison with the fantastic foreign railways and an appearance of Christian Wolmar? :roll:
I'll still watch it though!
So, it will basically be a re-run of this, except with different colours on the trains?
Expecting the usual bunch of "I have no choice but to travel with X or Y toc and pay Z amount which is extortionate" etc etc and "My train is always delayed and crowded". Would love for the Beeb or Sky to do a documentary comparing one persons travel over two weeks going into London. One week traveling by train and the next week traveling my car as a true comparison.
Live in hope......

Would these programmes even be broadcast if they showed the railway in a completely positive light? I think not!
