There were people standing in first from Moreton in Marsh

Added to there being no travelling chef!

Hes an idiot and simply does not consider how difficult it is to refurbish stock and keep it in service!

EK is coming purely from a passengers point of view and his perception of what is happening on the services he travels on. He doesn't claim to know the ins and outs of the workings of the railway. Believe me there are many passengers who would feel exactly the same way he does and would rant amongst themselves but he actually puts it down in writing and gets some nasty things posted on his site by people who wish to remain 'annonymous' for doing so.

You don't have to agree with everything he says and I would encourage you to reply to his posts on his site where you can provide constructive insight without getting personal.

fair enough .. BUT if you are going to drip on about something you havent got all the facts and information about you are leaving yourself wide open to be called an idiot.

There's been a set going round like that for at least a year now.
