Yeah, great isn't it! Average speed about 8.1 mph when "Notwork Rail" have only
slapped a 60 mph restriction arbitrarily over the whole system.

Can we have BR back please? We might have maligned them quite a bit, but it now
looks like they knew how to run a railway.

Disgusting.


Someone dies and all people can think about is the delay it caused
them.

Perhaps you should be thankful that nobody died on the train.

Yeah this was some unqualified guy with a big builder's bum wasn't it, and not
a properly qualified platelayer at all? Would never have got a job on the track
in BR days but is there now that safety has become so lax as to be laughable.
His fault then: although it's unfortunate that you pointed it out to begin with
because some people could say that it lacked taste.

And its surprising 100 people crammed onto a one carriage train for
three hours with no water no-one died there either.
And SWT response was "Some passengers did encounter a certain level of
bad luck...."
