@ChimeWhistle Maybe they should go on strike about it then? Because that is not something that is within the power of the passengers.

Staff are as frustrated as passengers when it comes to issues such as this. I have received dozens of DMs (NO names ever published) from staff, about what it's like on the front line and the apathy they feel from very senior management. They feel very let down.

I have made it a personal rule not to criticise the railway on this means. They have a hard enough job as it is. But for Pete’s sake, who at the DfT imposed 4 car units on Cross Country Trains? Still, great camaraderie in my corridor connection amongst my fellow sufferers 😁

@Guard_Amos @AshValeCommuter Sounds like a very difficult problem to solve, don't see anyone being able to figure out something as complex as that in my lifetime, would take some kind of mega-genius

@FuriousRoss @AshValeCommuter Everything regarding needing more stock has to go through the Government first. TOC's aren't allowed to order new trains without asking first

@Guard_Amos @AshValeCommuter Maybe that's why they think that then? Because it was a solved problem 30 years ago and now we pay a LOT more for something worse? Most other industries would love to have the problem of over-demand right now, railways only seem to see it as a problem not worth solving

@AshValeCommuter I get that. But, back in BR days. They'd have plenty of locos and coaches laying around to strengthen trains etc. Totally different now

@FuriousRoss I didn’t think I had followed you to be honest. I must have accidentally hit that button. My whole reason for posting here was to say this isn’t dangerous. I’ve already said I agree from a customer service pov it’s pretty shit. What do you want, fucking blood?

So unset, and yet here you are, willing to travel on it anyway? Don’t come back with that old chestnut about “having no choice” either. If something is dangerous, you shouldn’t do it. There’s at leave room for another 100 people on that train, by the way.

So poor from @CrossCountryUK. This Train from Sheffield to Bristol oversold and unsafe. No seats. People packed in standing in aisles, toilets and vestibules in between carriages. It cannot be safe to travel like this. Plus the tannoy is inaudible. Stood from Sheffield to Birmingham in packed carriage by broken toilet. 1 working toilet for 3 carriages. No staff on show. One passenger nearly passed out and had to get off. Train now going in reverse back to Brum having been stationary 15 mins in a tunnel. No one has any idea what’s going on because we can’t hear announcements. This train is unsafe.

@UU_Ess_Pee You could just ignore that part and agree with the sentiment, which is that CC trains are shit? If I'm such a fucking petulent child why have you followed me 😂

@FuriousRoss I’ve not once disagreed that it’s not good. It’s not dangerous though, which was my point. How about you actually read what I say instead of ignoring it, and interpreting it like a fucking petulant child?

@UU_Ess_Pee Not Ideal 😂 This train is literally always this busy, if we don't call it out when it's shit we'll keep getting ripped off, so why not agree instead of trying to find ways to say it's actually not that bad?

@FuriousRoss It’s not ideal from a comfort point of view, but it’s safe. The people saying it’s dangerous are generally the same ones who board trains or remain in them when they get this busy.

@EngFocus For a few weeks maybe, but they'll spend zero pounds on maintenance so they'll be shabby in no time. Also, they're not actually bigger, so they'll still be overcrowded with luggage that doesn't fit overhead everywhere.

@ScarbsTech All these weirdly distorted logos look AI generated, amongst other weirdly smeared bits? I see now that the actual car foes look like this though... I don't know what's real any more 🤷‍♂️

@ChimeraX2021 @SkySportsF1 They showed 20mins of old filler programs and now they'll talk nonsense for an hour, they could have given the sprint more than a 30sec summary

@FuriousRoss @SkySportsF1 The sprint ran late, that’s hardly Sky’s fault, and you can hardly expect them not to talk about it in the qualifying coverage.

@London_W4 I saw this in a different part of London, where do I report unauthorised street meat?

As so many of you liked my photo of Whitechapel Station, London yesterday, I thought you may like this one I took a while ago. Man delivering meat from the back of a transit van. Not a refrigerated van. Just a van. Carried through the streets. You too can go to Whitechapel and see it every day. It’s not AI. It’s not photoshopped. It’s Whitechapel. Different rules apply there.
