Yes and of course we should not forget the overcrowding problems on trains. We have an operator in this area who the passengers are constantly complaining about through the local press. Running 4 car units where 8 cars or even 12 are called for to accomodate the number of passengers, especially during the rush hours. Then there is the fares, paying "X" amount of pounds for a season ticket and getting far from ideal service.
I do think sometimes that some of the private companys running the trains on the railway in this country today, went into it blindfolded so to speak, especially some of these bus companys, thinking they can run a train service like a bus service or a train company like a bus company. Well nothing could be further from the truth and the sooner they realise that the better, for the railways, their staff and the travelling public.
