Advantages: provide transport

Disadvantages: Usually late

Where I live is served (if you can call it that) by Central Trains, I travel on them 4 days a week into Lincoln to go to college. Nearly everyday the train is delayed, usually only between 5-10 minutes but occasionally more than 25 minutes late.
When the trains do arrive there has never been enough seats for me to sit down, I have not yet sat down going to college since the beginning of September, I would have thought that at a busy time of the day when everyone needs transport to go to work etc that they would add another carriage, there is usually about 20 people standing in all!
At the weekend I was coming back from Lincoln and it was again at a very busy time and they just ran one carriage!, there was at least 40 people standing!, it was very cramped and soon became hot!, just imagine if the train was derailed or some other incident occurred, the consequences could be unthinkable with that amount of people onboard!, there would definitely be people killed and injured!, this amount of people on the train isn’t just a one off as a couple of weeks before I came across the same situation.

How long before they come to their senses and add another carriage?, maybe when everyone has been Christmas shopping and there are lots more wanting to take the same route back home!, I doubt it very much!
I know of other people who have written and complained to them and all they get is discount vouchers to be used on their trains!, I would rather not have any as the last thing I would do is want to go any further on the train!

I would like to see all the delays and problems which occur when it is winter and snow on the ground!, just recently there have been troubles with very strong winds!, there excuse for being late could be trees on the line, much more substantial than leaves!

Come on Central Trains get yourself sorted!!
