Any train departing within 10 minutes of its scheduled departure time is officially ‘on time’. This shows the mess the system is in; services are totally unreliable.
Your Views
Catherine Vickery, Market HarboroughPrivatisation was the easy way out for Margaret Thatcher – along with selling off council houses. Then energy. Now we are owned by multi-nationals. Give back our transport.
David Luland, DorchesterI wholeheartedly support this campaign. Passengers before profit.
Hector, CheshirePrivatisation was overseen by heartless, charmless, gutless, shameless individuals with boundless arrogance and monumentally misguided belief.
Georgina Sharpe, SouthamptonI worked for British Rail. It was the best job ever. A French company took over and the depot closed. That was the worst day ever.
Sue Horne, BrightonSimplify fares and concentrate on running reliable trains.
