Hi, It's happened to me a few times now. The latest on the DLR on Friday where I scratched my leg on the plastic seat part. Anyone else had issues with this or am I just unfortunate?

I don't doubt that is true for a second. Jubilee line there are toilets at Canary Wharf and Stratford. London Bridge tube is a ten minute walk to mainline station for them. Yes there are a seriously lack of toilets at Tube stations.

Buxton is rural. But if the rail companies want people to use these rural lines they need to reduce prices and if possible increase frequency. Its the same with anything...economics! The lower the price the more people will perhaps pay the fare.

We'll put it this way...road miles from Wolves to Buxton is 60miles. It's cheaper by car. Public transport should be cheaper. Therefore perhaps half price.

About 4 years ago I got the bus from Penrith to Keswick(I think) for the pencil museum. That was a tenner. :(

Fares...pricey...over £60 for a return to Buxton from Wolves. Reduce the fares more people will use the service.

Biggest problem is fares. £60 from Wolves to Betws-y-Coed. Wolves to Barmouth only £25 (if there was a 7am train on a Sunday I would consider using it but alas there isn't...first train is 16:43 today)

Whatever your view this was a serious security breach. And there is no excuse for these protesters to block our railway. The Turkish embassy..yes...but not the railway. It could give terrorists ideas. That is not a thought I want to even entertain but it is a possibility. There should be a...

Nope - it would be truncheons out and arrests made!

Approaching level crossings is worrying but temp restrictions even more so. If 70mph temp reduced to 25mph round a bend could end in catastrophe. Hitachi have got to fix it.

And...also a new announcement at Stratford....'if a passenger falls ill, please let them off the train as we can care better for them on the platform' If in full cardiac arrest etc...they are going nowhere.

Driver...we are held here (West Ham) for 68 seconds to regulate service. Never heard that before. How come?

Unusual to board VT sounthbound at MKC. Usually states dropoff only

I was told it had been quoted somewhere. I disagree..I now hope Virgin lose the WCML. Chiltern offer a far better, less faffy service.

Hope its an improvement!
