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

Railways need to be nationalised. 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.

Unless it's Made in England/Britain, then it doesn't work

I live in a city double the size of London with less than half number of lines!

This is how it looks like:

I live in a country with no trains, subways, or any other form of mass transportation. Count your blessings.

Thanks 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!

Big deal! I live in a country with no trains, subways, or any other form of mass transportantion

Sorry, I live in Sao Paulo, it is the worst city for public transportation and traffic. I wasnt expecting you to understand anyway...

, 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

Do you where those funny uniforms to go to school?

I had to when I went to high school. This was my blazer:

Disgusting West Ham colour!!

Yeah for my a levels, i did C1 and got 80 something, then i did c2 and got 96 (i resat it though got low 70's first time), then got 68 ish for C3, and needed just like 50 percent to get a B Maths A level and i got 48... one of the hardest papers i have done in my life (Didn't help i liked playing fifa lol)...

Some of the maths though is just pointless... I once asked, what is the point of learning this, how will it be useful in future life, and he said "erm maths teacher"

yeah we all dress like this

no not really. That is only the private schools. Most schools you have a smartish uniform. At my school when you are in the 16-18 age group you can wear whatever you want
