Tbis has been referred to indirectly in several recent threads but needs a thread of ts own.
I've had several bad experiences myself and heard of many others. This Sunday my grandson caught a train from Sheffield to Newcastle. He stood the entire way hearing complaints from all sides in the rammed full train. Just 4 coaches from. Exeter to Glasgow.
Do we just throw our hands in the air and say he should have waited for a later train that might have had 8 coaches? My wife and I did that in January but were chucked out of the rear unit at Derby and had to stand from there.
All who use the route know the problem. Crews know the problem. The management knows the problem. How does XC get a better share of brand new rolling stock?
