Train fares - bloody cheek

[bobotheclown]

In light of stagecoache's dividend payout to shareholders I just had a thought. If I were to buy shares in a train operating company then would I get a subsidised season ticket via the annual dividend? Just a thought.

I'll tell you what’s a bloody cheek, when you can't face standing for half the journey anymore and you decide to bite the bullet, scrimp and scrape together enough to buy a first class season ticket and find it full of tossers who haven't paid the extra, and have to stand anyway. And trust me I know who you are, you look guilty as sin!   

The ONLY reason I pay the extra it is to get a seat, because the levels of additional service only amount to a paper headrest and a plug!

london is awful for when needing to travel around, considering the roads are bad with taxis and motorbikes darting in and out of gaps, and buses cutting you up, and cyclists clattering into your wing mirrors, you would think the train service would be better eqiuiped

london, as much as a great city it is, is over cramped and cant cope

wait till the olympic circus rolls into town next year. Blimey it's going to be a nightmare. I'm gonna see if I can take two weeks off work and go up north.
