[denislawsbackheel]

totally shite train service as usual.......every week, every year....worst train service in Europe....cancelled my trip into town this afternoon as no trains.. (again!!) had to drive to Anfield the other week...no trains.....sack them, recruit new drivers from abroad....we need a a public train service.

What an idiotic post!
Do you think a business should be based on needing overtime to run properly?
Do you think foreign drivers would work rest days?
Why aren’t you at work today you idle bastard?

Blackpool to Manchester it looks like the best bet is a York train to Burnley and an X43 bus thence to town. What a time to be alive!

Blackpool and Burnley via our lovely uk public transport network, I’d rather get a train to a Russian death camp.

Northern Rail are a shit show. The crew shortages they are citing has been an issue for months. When they are running trains, they usually only put on a couple of carriages. Northern Fail is ran by a bunch of incompetent wankers.

True to form for our wonderful public transport system, most of the trains from Macc/ west coast line either cancelled or delayed today

Squeezed on the 11-09, utter chaos

Most routes have severe disruption, ie no drivers available.
That’s what happens if folk don’t need the OT anymore.
Absolutely appalling our train network when compared to other countries. Like much of this country, it’s going to the dogs.

It's not that "folk don't need the OT anymore {sic}."
It's a case of the TOCs running services by relying on the good nature of their staff to do overtime on a regular basis.
Think privatised national assets, think national disaster (plus a pay-off to the Tories and their pals).
