I notice the complementary glass of wine, and even sandwiches have disappeared from the latest first class menu at GWR, is that really the case or they no longer advertise these complementary items.. Cornwall bound next week :( quote GWR...

Skegness is neglected by EMR... could not have said it better, and the DFT are making things worse

please sign this petition regarding the dire state of the Skegness service this Summer, EMR/ DFT are pushing people into their cars, 2 car trains in high Summer :( source 'Change.org' https://www.change.org/p/improving-the-nottingham-to-skegness-train-service

shockingly bad that ALL trains now only 5 cars regardless of crowding, to think before we had 7 car or 10 car doubles on peak services, what a way to run a railway..

notice a petition has been started regarding the dire overcrowding on the Skegness line and cancellation of this Summer's extra trains or replacement buses.. quote 'Change.org petition' https://www.change.org/p/improving-the-nottingham-to-skegness-train-service

was he pushed due to the state EMR are in at the moment, staff I spoke to in Derby seem totally demoralised, especially with the class 810s, even the 180s seem in a better league..

well it was £2 and Reeves put it up to £3, what a shower this lot are..

well regardless of if it is as scheduled on the 18th of October when the core franchise ends, or a few months later, EMR have not got long to go..

less than 3 months of the EMR franchise left, EMR Management are probably just treading water (and taking the money) until they hamd back the keys..

personally, I have long given up with the Pancras service, its via Doncaster or Tamworth for me, EMR must have literally driven away hordes of former passengers..

EMR should at least remove evening off peak restrictions to Leicester and beyond, while this fiasco is ongoing, the 1832 is booked a 5 car 222, so no capacity there, but if travel allowed throughout the evening peak to help spread the load.

25% increase on my local plusbus in Matlock /Buxton £6 to £8 that will not encourage public transport usage..
