Advantages: they get you to and from quickly

Disadvantages: the trains don't seem to keep to the timetables

Railways are getting worse these days. I have been travelling by train for quite a long time now. The times on the train timetable and the times the train arrives doesn't seem to be getting any better.
It feels like when you are early the train comes late and when you are on time the train you want comes early and you have to get the next train and be late for where you have to go(in my case college).

Also another thing about trains, Can't they clean the inside of the train once in a while. Every time I am on the train there is always rubbish everywhere, for the money that we pay we should get more cleanliness on trains.

I have noticed lately on trains that some passengers are getting a bit rude, mainly the ones in the flash suits and briefcases. Take the other day for instance, I had my bike on the train with me and I kindly let the people who were on the train off at the stop I was getting off at and than I was about to get off and a few people older then me barged me out the way without saying sorry or anything, now I think that is rude because if I would have barged someone older then me on the train out the way they would have said something like "young people these days" which is out of order.


If you agree or disagree with me about trains and the passengers on them please write a comment.

Agree with your rant.

Try writing letters of complaint. You might get some compensation when you refer to specific points.

as regards 'rudeness'. Prepare some responses. e.g. Say "excuse me ! - er I suppose you weren't you ever taught to say that ?" ASlways infuriates the old 'uns'.

O nce in my youth, I almost knocked down an old dear who wasn't looking where she was going. I wound down my window and shouted "Wanna die young Lady !" She was so furious she shook her brolly at me ... I can still see that image in my mind ...{;ŹD]
