Wil get a full refund (50% of the £550) to my account, not the company’s.
Onboard team have GREAT ASSES
Not winning, but not losing either
A return flight same day is approx £380, mate. Fuck the train! £550 notes, get into the fucking sea with that palaver!
I’m still flabbergasted a return train journey is £550 ffs.
The belfast to dublin train is about 40 quid return lol.

British railways are a fucking joke. Just bought a first class ticket from Beijing to Shanghai (or, rather, work have) on the bullet train for abar hundred quid.
Three hundred quid almost on the nose the last time I did Chester to London at peak time (same company and similar distance), so the robbing bastards have put it up another 20% or so in just a couple of years.
No, railways should 100% be nationalised, that’s something you and I most likely agree on.
A natural monopoly should be run in the public interest.
That journey, by the way, is 663 miles. Standard class is about 65 quid.
bosstrabs railways should 100% be nationalised, that’s something you and I most likely agree on.
Correct, I’d just extend it to nearly all national infrastructure, or at least the bits that are critical, and the bits that most enrich the country… this is the thing that for me shows the holes in the Tory ‘patriotism’ lie. To be in control of your own infrastructure and cash flow are the basics of what a government should be doing, it’s the most patriotic thing you could do, but they wrap themselves in the flag, peddle immigration gimmicks whilst letting more in, and asset strip the country.

These stupid ticket prices are likely covering losses via Delay Repay scheme.
Have just trousered £270 for Wednesdays shenanigans.
Bit rotten than it gets passed on to non-corporate travellers as well (I’m assuming those in 1st on this shite, that aren’t corporate, are either too rich or too stupid to care)

Haven’t used trains very often in the last few years, but have taken a few recently and each time it’s standing room only. People squished up against each other even in first.
I don’t know how people put up with it. I’d end up having a nervy b if I had to commute into London.
Get a later train is always my advice, always less crowded.
Cheers!

Booked a holiday to Majorca yesterday.
