I was on the 16.52 East Midalnds Trains Service from Liverpool Lime Street traveling to WIDNES yesterday and that was packed out with a mixture of Rusians and Scots Football Suporters they had the BTP Community Suport Oficers on Board as well but they got off at Widnes what the point of that was i don't know.

But you would have thoght therte would have been more than just two carriges as they would have known it was going to be packed out.
