Trains used to be cancelled for no heating so it was a priority to fix it but then came a instruction that passengers would prefer a cold train than no train at all. Fixing no longer a priority.

I thinks the replies to Phil posting only enforces his argument

If Network Rail had been left to get on with their programme of works things would now be different. It was political interference where they had the "Northern Powerhouse" etc etc hoisted on them when anyone with the slightest bit of knowledge knew it was impossible to carry out that amount of...

I am afraid Mr Bigland treats HS2 as his personal crusade. Before I first read his blog I was undecided about the route. However his contradictory mutterings, sometimes within the same blog, made me examine the case against. Forgetting HS2 I think it is worrying how the government is more or...
