Come on. Let's make an effort to finally get this monkey off our back.
People were coming back from London on Sunday night in Taxi's.
This company and their contract is a disgusting joke. On you!
Please sign this government petition.
"The Secretary of State should intervene immediately over GTR's failure to implement its new timetable leaving commuters stranded and mass cancellations of services despite having a year to plan for the changes."

Maria Caulfield has it all in hand. She will sort it out once she has sobered up.

They're a useless bloody lot who couldn't organise a p-up in a brewery.
They have a captive market, and they know it. Their contracts should include huge penalties for poor service, that might focus their minds a bit.

Annoyed that the Ashford train now leaves from Eastbourne, and not Brighton. Not ideal if the connecting trains are delayed.

I saw Maria Caulfield in action in Parliament on the news yesterday. There were not many MPs in attendance, but she had bothered to turn up.
She was in full force, really having a go at Chris Grayling on the subject of the state of our trains. How can people say she never does anything?

No she wasn't Jim. She just wasn't. If that's your bench mark of 'full force', your standards are comical. She is just as compliant in this farceand she has done the sum of absolutely nothing to seperate herself from this government backed Clown Show.
Any way, lets not get sidetracked again about Maria. Let's focus on GTR, the petition and their hapless service.

That wasn't full force, that was her grandstanding.
She has all the force of a wet paper bag.

Hasn't anyone heard the phrase 'towing the party line' and Maria wasn't when she and the other tory MP's had a go at Grayling. That's about all they can do in reality. Which isall what those labour MP's did too. The public will remember when our turn comes though.

I believe all the compensation payments are funded by the government. At the very least they should make GTR pay them so they feel some pain.

Totally agree David. There's no incentive for them to sort it out when the taxpayer is picking up the tab for their incompetence.
I wonder how many Tories have shares in train operating companies?
