It's not thetrainline that are rubbishIt's the bastards that are STILL digging up all our local train tracks and so running replacement buses of a weekend. If my sister wants to visit from Birmingham, it's quicker for me to go up and get her!

That's completely pants.They've been digging up the track behind me for the last 5 weeks, it's been lovely, those buggers laying new sleepers, track, ballast, etc 24/7.
It's pleasure to have the bloody trains back now, less noise.
un-fucking-real

i don't getwhy they do so much main line work at weekends, rather than overnight, or during the quiet periods in the middle of the day during the week.
took me 5 and half hours to get back to liverpool on sat, including an hour to Gloucester as we had to go via newport to avoid the works

Overnight is a problemDue to my proximity to the line.
