Don't forget paid for.. by you! I've requested my share be refunded

Sadly Merseyrail probably didn't have any input into these trains. This has been a monumental cock up but certain egos now means we have our cake and have to eat it.

Well it looks like change is in the air with the "jarring" male voice. I was on a train to Ormskirk today, they appear to have changed him. The one now appears to be a bit more well spoken and has a better tone more suited to announcements if that makes sense. Still AI but the "shouty" messages...

How is a train switching platforms at Liverpool Central is the most inconvenient thing in the world. It's 10 steps and there are people literally announcing it on the tannoy as the train comes in. Unless you are plumbed into headphones which is a person's own problem, trains switching at Central...

Why is Hunts Cross to Ormskirk an utter disgrace? For me the only gripe is it goes 30 min of an evening but it's hardly the end of the world. I've said it before, Merseyrail have been lumbered with trains that just weren't suitable for the network. Regardless of what is right or wrong...

They had plenty of practice

How is a public owned asset allowed to be stripped without any sort of acknowledgement

I've not been on the Chester line for a while. What's different?

The PIS is dreadful, it has been from day 1 and isn't getting better. It's almost like they've accepted mediocre and living are with it. They've clearly lost the receipt!

Can't trust the PIS to tell us the correct destination or station at the moment

I was watching a guard earlier, the PIS was doing all sorts of weird stuff, they were in and out of the cab having to apologise and to correct the announcements. I asked him what is going on with it and he said it can't be fixed and has never worked as it should. If they can't get a simple thing...

People point the finger at Merseyrail. I'm pretty sure if it was up to them they would have more trains, running 8 cars on all lines, stopping at every station. This farce sits firmly with Merseytravel and Stadler. "Our trains" and their roll out has been an absolute shambles. And now...

At least it's displaying something. Get on a Merseyrail and you will be lucky if the train knows where it's going.

This whole new fleet of trains has been nothing short of a disaster. The so called teething problems excuse can no longer be used. The faults aren't going away and now the trains are actually becoming dangerous. The Mayor is either hiding, or completely and blissfully unaware of the problems us...

So why are Merseyrail suffering so much then, if the tried and tested product is on other trains, why is Merseyrails so bad?

Certainly not a good advert for Teleste given the current state of the PIS

Suppose when it's the local authorities specifying a train it shows they have little clue in how to do it.

Almost like railways are trying to be too clever. If only there was a guard controlling the doors.

The top and bottom of it is the implementation of this project has been nothing short of a farce. Less trains bought, trains that just aren't reliable, trains too big for platforms, battery trains that fail regularly but constant talk of expanding the network using them and on the face of it...

Voice your concerns to Teflon Steve and his cronies who have failed the city region massively with these new trains. Service recently has been atrocious but he still compliments himself on a job well done
