Happy to report those utter wankers have lost the licence to rape the train commuters on this route as of 24th June.
They had run the 1st class service into the ground by the time I took a train last month.
Its going back to GNER who were fabulous when I used to make the journey every fortnight some years ago.
Bring back the bottles of Chablis on ice and the proper cheddar and stilton cheeseboard with suuuuuperb chutney.

Branson bought into the rail network for one reason and it wasn't to have his own train set either. His eyes were on the telecommunications network which no doubt you will be surprised to hear is larger than all of the off rail telecommunications network in the U K.
Strategy plan was to get his mucky little paws on that system so as to give him a virtual monopoly over the internet industry in the U K and elsewhere.
Interesting to note that if Branson was on the rail network at any time train drivers would play via their train horns the Arseholes salute, funnily enough though he thought he was being venerated, he never knew the tune nor what it meant!!
Beardy is no more than a charlatan a crook who has destroyed the goodwill and loyalty of the railway workforce and continually shafted the traveling public to boot.
Oh and don't forget his shafting of the health sector his grubby little paws are in either.

So, the taxpayers are getting shafted again what with the State taking over, needing to cleanup, renovate, possibly spent on lacking or delayed maintenance, etc., etc.? Or will this be a goldmine for the people  |

Once we get rid of the EU we can make sandwiches without needing green red and blue food prep areas and two week sandwich making courses.

I had a pad prik moo yesterday here in the UK which was passable...I mentioned the missing peppercorns and was told they are hard to find fresh here. I swallowed my bs for dessert and washed it down with another real ale. |

I swallowed my bs for dessert and washed it down with another real ale. Don't be too happy. Rumour has it that to spare costs on the rail link the British government settles for lunch boxes with original contents. Assured not to be past their 'due date' as the Thai rail link is not due yet  |
