DDA 9,941 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Was it forecasted heavy tonight... The one i saw this morning said we would probably get some this evening/tommorrow but they didn't say heavy... And yeah we know what southeastern rail is like when there is a bit of snow... I fix the railways and that is exactly why i do not use them hahaha. I'm talking motorways!. They didn't say how much bt it always snows heavily in the South East!

Liquidator 5,176 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 It seriously cant be that bad, everything works in England...They are awful. Per mile their tickets are the most expensive in Europe. (Tomorrow for school I am going away from central London, 9 miles and it costs me £6.60) They manipulate their statistics to the government to make it seem like they are meeting punctuality targets, a few weeks ago they didn't stop at a station because nobody wanted to get on the train even though people wanted to get off it, they used 2mm of snow as an excuse for trains being delayed for 2 hours citing 'adverse weather conditions' as their excuse. The trains in rush hour are always really crowded because the government won't pay to add more carriages to the trains. They sometimes don't bother de-icing the tracks so trains can't run. really they are shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern think they can charge me £9.30 for 13 miles on the train to get to college. (and that's with a 3rd of student discount card) luckily i saved about £300 last year through committed and skillful dodging, give it a go mate.

C1 does seem quite easy but I'll hopefully drop maths at the end of the year. C2 looks a bit nasty so I'd hate to see C4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and that's with a 3rd of student discount card) luckily i saved about £300 last year through committed and skillful dodging, give it a go mate. , I always get a ticket, BUT, i get it for the way back when its off peak, as that costs me 4.90 from greenwich, but if i get one in the morning it costs me 12.00. And the fine is 20 quid which is stupid... If i don't get caught 3 times i make a saving if i get caught the 4th time lol... Also because the train is so packed when i leave in the morning there is never a ticket man on there and hasn't been for a year and a half... *touches wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
