I admit I haven't been on a main line one for years. I now know why.
They are vile, expensive, disgusting, smelly,unreliable, uncomfortable, invariably late, slow, cramped, complicated to use, diverted, overly full of complete and utter overly self important  arse holes, and as for the stations!!! Angry9:

I'd rather sit on the M6 in a 20 mile que for 2 hours  than go through that vile amd shitty experience  again

Christus on a bikeus!  eeek:

Just how bad WERE they then? eeek:

Not the trains fault granted, but you get stuck next to some pretty vile creatures on a train, like a gang of drunken yobs that have to swear, guffaw  and bellow constantly. cussing:
Can't say anything, or even look at them without the fear of getting your head kicked in, and NO ONE, even on a packed train will/can seemingly do owt about it. confused:
Trapped and imprisoned with no escape.
Absolutely hateful. sick2:

Not sure that I would agree that they are "complicated to use" . However I totally accept that we must have the most complicated ticketing structures in the world and unless you are going to know you need to travel a couple of months in advance extortionate prices  noooo:

You been to New Street station lately? eeek:
Fantastic when that useless information board keeps changing its mind as to when and from which bloody platform the train you've finally worked out that you need is arriving/going from.

Everything is so hazy and miserable, full of sheeple pushing barging and rushing around, never anyone there to help advise and guide, just one horrible experience.
Missed my connection by seconds, just beaciause of the difficulty involved in navigating myself around the rancid utter shit hole.

The only trains I've used in the past few years are from Epsom into town - that seems to work quite well but I haven't travelled in the rush hour....  noooo:

...apart from the constant messages about not leaving your bags unattended of course...  ::)

The idiot announcer at Crewe was obviously foreign with severe almost hilarious nasal problems.
Couldn't understand a piggin' werd...at all.

Everyone on the platform was just shaking their heads in disbelief at the 'hilarity' of it all.

Everywhere you go now, it's like being on holiday abroad (without the warmth and sun) TRYING to dechiper what is being said to you. Banghead
Is there anyone left in the Midlands that can actually speak fluent English anymore? Shrugs:

My Mum used to think the announcer at Slough station (a woman) "had a lovely voice"... She couldn't understand how she worked such long hours and was always there day and night....  ::)

No they're NOT. cussing:

TWICE the information as to which platform the train I was suppoed to be catching, changed, involving charging around trying to find platform 3b which is on a different level, which then involves TRYING to find the staircase that is hidden by a squillion of sheeple
