Re: Train Spotters Corner
Limoges-Bénédictins station in Limoges, France, is also a lovely station that I really like passing through on my travels.

Re: Train Spotters Corner
Which? claims many rail passengers 'dissatisfied'.
http://www.railnews.co.uk/news/2013/...assengers.html
Quote:
MANY RAIL passengers are dissatisfied with their journeys, according to a new survey by the consumer organisation Which?
But the findings, which follow the questioning of about 7,000 people, contradict the results of the much larger surveys carried out by Passenger Focus, which reported recently that passenger satisfaction is at an average of 85 per cent.
The lowest performer, according to Which?, was First Capital Connect with 40 per cent, while Virgin Trains was top of the table for the second year running with a score of 67 per cent.

Well obviously l can only speak for myself and my family and say we have always had excellent service no matter where we have gone apart from the train breaking down once.

Surprise boost for HS2 to be unveiled.

PLANS to build HS2 have been given a boost by a Government announcement that it intends to promote a Paving Bill in the next session of Parliament. The transport secretary has reaffirmed his own commitment to the scheme by hailing it as 'an engine for growth'.
