Advantages: You think theres an advantage?!?!?

Disadvantages: Late, Cancelations, packed ( even at off peak)

Yuk! Well what an excellent service provided to lincoln from peterborough, i start my train journey from Chelmsford, First Great eastern service ( 10 seconds late :D and plenty of seats ) then i go to ipswich. Get there on time, Leave for peterborough, Anglia railways service, on time enough seating although rather packed, arrive at peterborough on time. Im thinking "Great" - no probs! then i find out that the central trains sevice which goes from peterborough to lincoln is cancelled, i can take that, But then this service only runs every hour! so im waiting another hour, along with a number of other people , then, eventually, comes this pitiful 1 carriage central trains service, 5 mins late also, " this surely cant be for us " the croud of people are thinking, i got on and got a very squashed seat. Well at least i will get there! and i did , a bit late and very frustrating people squashing me, but this so called 'train' only went 50 mph at least, Yuk!

Ok i understand that central trains has to deal with a lot more than many other companies but they should at least improve train capacity and speed!

The whole journey cost about £20 which isnt bad but the different train companies fares dont differ too much, only the service quality does.
