It’s shocking, I’m worried about travelling in 2 weeks with them and really hope I can get to where I need to go
ahh levelling up the north is going well. If this happened in the south there would be something done about it.
Phenomenal with all the noise the government make about climate change that the only reliable forms of transport are still cars.
Before the pandemic I used to commute everyday York – Leeds and I feel like the whole system would just shit the bed every other month. You can tell it’s coming when it’s hot, cold, windy, or there’s thunderstorms, but sometimes it’s just this instead.
I’d take a guess that it’s a knock on effect of one train being delayed that’s carrying staff that need to get to another train.
Always felt bad for the travellers needing to go further because if one train miraculously showed up at Leeds, it’d always just get cancelled at York and everyone going to Newcastle would still be stuck.
Privatisation of the railways has been such an epic failure. And the worst part about it is the tax payer is still funding the rail companies. We got the worst of both worlds.
There’s a reason it’s referred to as Toilet Paper Express
These days I dread travelling by train. The amount of disruption we have to put with and the corresponding costs is phenomenal. To feel better I read about the “benefits of privatisation”.
I didn’t think I was a grudge guy but TransPennine called me a liar in 2017 about a train I could not board due to crowding (as a result of cancellations). I had proof that I was not lying and they still told me I was wrong. To this day I bristle at the thought of them.
