towny yes i see your point, i.e. that there is a problem with funding, however the train companies need to realise that IF they develop their systems to be more reliable and IF they make them cleaner, THEN more people will use them THERFORE they will earn back in profit the money they have put into making it a better serivice.....
what does wind me up though is the bleeding government insisting on us using cars less and then not giving us a reliable alternative...so the governement should get their ass' into gear and stop piling money into futile things and sort themselves out
