Once again the DFT strikes do they actualy understand that their customers the TOC,s want extra rolling stock.Every time ths happens the public suffer but as the civil servants are in the south they will never care about the north .Its time that TOC,s actualy were able to order their own rolling stock as they require not be told what crumbs from the table are available .I question wether or not the NYMR would want to take over full operation of Middlesborough Whitby even with subsidy it would probably not pay thus draining finances from the main operation.Lightlly used lines can not even be saved by bustistution as the main users are all on travel cards and the reimbusment to councils by govt is not covering costs and the powers that be dont seem to interested in allowing us to travel easily and economicaly witness the price rises of petrol,119p 122p since last week.No travel no growth in the economy so DFT start doing the right thing by TOC,s.
