    It's good Samuel. If I compare SE high speed to GA, I can't. Clean, fast and on time three adjectives GA cannot do. Broken railway. Broke by greed and despair. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- And broken by acceptance of abysmal standards are the culture of the business.

    Thank you Samuel for raising the standard above that of dos"buyacar"xuk I accept that in all walks of life, expected everything to be perfect always will not happen. I do not see why paying passengers should settle for a less than acceptable service provided by GA I look forward to seeing...

    I expect GA to have a collaborative relationship with NR who they are in contract with rather than fail to provide a service to fare paying customers The relevance Jon is English law and liability. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Sadly for GA there is no English law exclusion for...

    To say the least the "its NRs fault card" is played too often and is legally incorrect. The passengers contract is with the provider (GA In this case) not the 3rd party provider (NR) The legal case is Shanklin Pier v Detal Products which defines privity of contract. Only a party you have...

    Perhaps not if the original partnership had of occurred. Then the chain of communication would be more effective and buses could be sourced more effectively rather than the dithering response today. Is 7 hours without a service acceptable with no bus replacement, as Big Brother says "you decide"

    Perhaps if Burles had not made the statement that NR problems would be no defence for GA when he took office And GA and NR would work together your comment would have more validity.

    No nothing is easy with GA particularly. I am not a railway operator and pay to be one. Another day of losing money due to WA wires down. And you wonder what we are moaning about.
