I use the trains a lot and trains are rarely late, and if they are it is only ever by a few minutes. Also, train journeys aren't that much more expensive than public transport and it still beats petrol costs any day.

Being young, I haven't got anything to compare it to unless I look at past statistics, but what seems to me is that it isn't BAD at the moment, it just isn't as good as it was decades ago and that is to be expected really.

I don't think it is something worth complaining about because nothing is going to be done it, certainly not by Labour, so we might as well just get on with our lives. It could always be worse.
