I feel bad for the staff. Just got the late running 16:43 Virgin train from Crewe to Lime Street. It was rammed with passengers off LNWR services. I am now catching the 18:19 Northern service back to West Allerton which on the boards now says "For connections to Euston". If it was a one off that...

I'm actually just passing through Liverpool South Parkway and as if by magic after what I just said the LNR service has been terminated here and all the passengers are further delaying the East Midlands in to Lime Street. It is a farce.

And I've seen it not announced or shown on the screens until it is too late to get to Parkway, and that happens frequently especially during the peak when most of the other services to Parkway are up the wall anyway. They are having a large impact on other operators as well. As I have mention...

At the end of the day people can be selfish. I have been told a number of times on Christmas day that I have ruined someones Christmas because on Christmas day we can't provide a replacement cooker on Christmas Day because lots of other people also want the day off with 100% service from...

I'm feeling very pessimistic. I'm a remainer but part of me just wants this deal to go through to calm things down. Nationalism is a dangerous thing though. I am currently reading a book called HHhH about Operation Anthropoid and it is scary how easily people like Reinhard Heydrich got in to...

So what is your problem with the EU?

How do you feel the EU is anti democratic compared to the UK when I have to put up with Johnson, Cummings, the House Of Lords etc. without voting for them.

I didn't imply otherwise. I implied that referring you'd being under EU tyranny was a modern right wing press thing.

I do understand how the UK system works, I was merely pointing out the stupidity of calling the EU anti democratic.

I was referring to the press going on about our freedom from the EU and the tyranny. For god's sake I know they aren't new words. Ha ha .

I was referring to not having voted for Johnson, Cummings etc.

Which is just ridiculous and a construct of the right wing (Or whatever you want to call them) press. I refer to freedom or tyranny in this case .

Speaking of anti-democratic we have the PM, his advisor Dominic Cummings, the leader of the House Of Commons, the House Of Lords and the Royal Family. I don't recall voting for any of them.

Just getting a Trans Pennine 185 back to Lime Street from Newton-Le-Willows after getting an 802 out. The 802 had a much better ride than the 185 or the many 68 hauled sets I've had on the route. I like the 185's for being less brightly lit. For me having the engine under your bum on the 185...

To be fare the Tories hard core leavers are hard right. I don't think everyone who voted leave is hard right.

Anyone know 802218 is still out? Just for a short journey I'm planning later.

Just caught the 20:25 to Newton-Le-Willows. Really impressed. The seats are a bit meh if you don't like them too firm but everything else was spot on. Impressive acceleration.

Ahhhhh! Fire Walk With Me!!!! Why haven't I looked at this thread for days!!!! Oh yeah, late shift. Gutted, so easy.

Very jealous. Have a great trip.

Sticking Democratic in the name of your country has a history of being anything but. North Korea, East Germany.
