Hi Everybody.
The BBC Panorama program screened a documentary on November 7th in regard to the decrepit state of Britain's passenger railways. A YouTube video of the program can be found by following this link:- https://youtu.be/n3nJ7Ly0yu0dhttps://youtu.be/n3nJ7Ly0yu0d
The program demonstrates graphically the conditions many who travel regularly on the UK's rail services have experienced a by way of the growing chaos over the last decade.
The documentary demonstrates and speaks on:-
The gross overcrowding on services especially at peak times.
The “fiddled” passenger satisfaction figures.
The shortage of rolling stock (consists)
The exorbitant cost of travel on the network.
The effects of the long ongoing “who closes the doors” dispute on commuters.
Services still running with the Pacer DMU units as the main source of passenger movement.
In viewing the documentary it has to be remembered that for many commuters, rail is the only means of transport for their daily travel to work. The foregoing should I believe serve as a warning to non UK residents not to see their governments over commit to any single source of transport.
Bill.
