If we ever saw a reduction in ticket costs as a result of cutting the wages, maybe
As it is, I would be sad for those who lose their jobs, but totally and utterly blame the unions for being such archaic cunts and holding people to ransom. They've cost their members public opinion blah blah.

We will never see a reduction. It's all bluster and bullshit.
As it stands I think my season ticket is going to go up by £300. It's a fucking joke.

Cuuuuuuunts
I really hate spending money on my travel card. It feels like such a waste. Every year I think I should do the season ticket loan thing from work, but it just seems like so much money in one go. £20 top ups are annoying but palatable.

I heard this morning that following the next round of rises
tickets will be on average 40% higher than they were 6 years ago.

At least all the "upgrades" are totally working because we have lovely new trains and far fewer delays.....

In fairness remember the slam door trains in the 80s.
Them muthafuckas STANK yo.

To be fair...
I get the high speed train from Kent, and it does suffer from far fewer delays than the normal 'pleb' trains. But its still over £6000 which is a fuck-load of cash up front every year.
