Rail Replacement
The state of the British transport system is now well documented to reveal a system that is in disarray. However, being New Year the first thing that hits the headlines are the above inflation price rises in the cost of tickets across the UK rail network. As always, the prices go up, the travellers grumble and everyone keeps on paying for the same sub standard service.
Ah, but this New Year, there has been something a little different. In most countries, you pay for a train ticket and you get on a train. In Britain, we pay for a train ticket and get on what is normally called a rail replacement service. In other words, a clapped out double decker bus, that takes you to your final destination. So far the West Coast Mainline and London’s Liverpool Street are out of action due to the ‘over running’ of these works.
And remember, as it is the New year, we are paying extra for this. On a positive note.Well I have totally finished the HIPS page
