What are First Capital Connect doing with the Welwyn & Hertford Routes
to get it so wrong ?

It seemed Mickey Mouse under WAGN and reminded me of a hobbyist system.
But First Capital Connect seem worse !!

Since about September the trains seem constantly delayed and the excuses
are always the same. Cable Problems, Signal Problems, all none of their
fault of course. Then you get trains missing stations and you can end up
miles from home.

Maybe it is time to forget the Banks and bring rail back under public
ownership. I remember my trip to work in the 70's with huge affection.
Most mornings the trains ran well and it didn't cost a small fortune.
