After their performance this weekend in dealing with show crowds going to and from the NEC, they need to re introduce full length cross country trains and quickly
Saturday morning i boarded the 08:22 service to Edinburgh, travelling between Southampton airport parkway and Birmingham International. By the time the train left Reading, lots of people were standing. The train was crammed tight with people after Oxford and refused to pick up anymore passengers between there and International, {there physically wasnt anymore room}
My train home tonight {17:14 off International} was the same story leaving International until Reading where everybody was able to get a seat in the now de classified 4 or 5 coach Voyager.
Not until i got off the train at Airport parkway did i see anything near acceptable, 2 voyagers {not sure how many coaches} but this was something like the 19:30 departure from Southampton airport parkway to Manchester.
