Sorry but you will get very little sympathy from those unaffected, up in the north we would pray for a service as bad as Southern, once you have been on a pacer train you will understand why

Southern probably seems so bad because the rest of the London and surrounding area network is so good.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Originally posted by Paddy View PostThe same happens on SW Trains and even worse SW Train Journies are more expensive than Southern.
Also when SWT guards went on strike Stagecoach just got staff from other parts of the country and managers to be guards. The guards never went on strike again. Southern's owners can't do that as they don't even have enough staff even to run their other lines."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostThat's complete tulip - while SWT have a habit of playing around with the timetable so connections don't work, the trains run unless there is flooding, fire or planned engineering works on the line.

BTW guards on SWT are more suited for the Gestapo."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

They are always willing to accuse the passenger of lying first and threatening them with a fine e.g. when gates break, TFL tell people to use them as an alternative route before investigating if what the passenger says is true."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I still can't see the point of a judicial review. Of what?
And now the London mayor has stated his intent of bringing more people into London. Why can't someone get his office to fork out for improvements.
As others have said, other parts of the country aren't great either.Comment

Why? Southern made £100,000,000 profit last year."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

One trick used by governments, and unfortunately I can only remember IDS doing this, is if there is a judicial review you ensure it is irrelevant by changing the rules. In the case of Southern if you dump the overseeing of the franchise on Mayor of London and local councils then the ruling is irrelevant.Last edited by SueEllen; 28 September 2016, 16:13."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
