good one but i think its too late for that. i think there should be a integrated network co-ordinator who makes decisions for a timetable of integrated public transport network .any companies who dont meet the network co-ordinator criteria has their contract terminated and has a hefty fine and the money invested back into the network. plus a clause in the contract about the standards of the transport .i still cant believe how bad preston train station and the trains are in the northwest its like travelling in a third world country.the scarborough train is alright but the northern trains are just short of scandalous.
