We wanted to go up to the new years day parade today - but oh what a surprise
- the tube is doing a 1 train every half hour service in the burbs. Fantastic.
Good to know the people running public transport really have the public
interest at heart.
Why would it be in "the public interest" to run trains at more
frequent intervals when there is insufficient demand to justify them?
So 250,000 people turning up for the new years day parade is insufficient
demand? Who knows how many would have gone if the tube service had been
better.
So who should pay for these unnecessary additional trains? Council
tax payers in London? Taxpayers around the UK?
And there was me thinking thats what the fares are for.
