Very strange,because in recent years there has been an increase in passengers.I have travelled on these trains and they have been well populated.They are not reducing front line operating staff. A lot of these companies are using the credit crunch to slim down staffing levels.
They have also put up fares,total madness when rail passenger traffic is on the up.I have noticed a decrease in passengers on FGW HST's in recent months.
