Mean while yesterday on the M25 some friends of mine remained stationary for 3 hours ……………. no announcements given, no means of claiming compensation Is rail travel so bad?
The difference is there is someone to blame, so people inevitably do. I do hope they weren't on their way to one of the airports.

A contact of mine wrote there was "no end in sight" ... but then that's what you get from a circular motorway!

GWR▸ Web site appears to be struggling as well although when I checked at 5.30 this morning there were already lots of cancelled trains.

And we know what follows spring ! The season of speed restrictions due to high rail temperatures, clogged radiators on trains, broken air conditioning, barbecues, staff shortages, and overcrowding caused by passengers taking holidays at holiday times.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard. It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc. A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

It’s not infrastructure just general shite. After cancelling the 22.20ish LTV▸ trains a 2 car service arrived at 22.50. So that’s 12 maybe 16 cars in to 2. We’ll done.
Naturally there were no GWR▸ staff at Paddington to assist. Not one.

Would you say things have generally been better of late, Nick?

I travel outside of peak less frequently than I used to so cannot comment on frequency of incident. What I can say is that the absence of staff (and that is absence, not just shortage) at Paddington remains a disgrace. 16 or 12 carriages into 2 is shocking consideration for paying passengers whenever it occurs.
