In recent months there have been a lot of posts on this forum knocking the CrossCountry franchise. A fair few from me admittedly. Cheesy

In the spirit of offering a balanced view, may I direct forum members with a Facebook account to this page:

http://www.facebook.com/search/?ref=search&q=crosscountry&init=quick#/Crosscountrytrains?ref=search&sid=701859471.2270540579..1

Can't quite work out whether it is an official page, but it does seem to be generally pro CrossCountry. So much so that a negative post of mine was removed.....

It looks as if it *is* to me.   The owner of the page posts "we ..." where "we ..." clearly means CrossCountry trains, the main onward link is back to the home page of the company.

It looks official, although "Crosscountry" never replies to any posts holding the TOC (Train Operating Company) to account (such as "are the HSTs (High Speed Train) coming back", etc.)
