@ArchRose90 And the trade union members who support reform are in for a rude awakening

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@PaulJohnson65 @KarlTurnerMP I am aware. However, things very much have changed.

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@nickdhurt Nope. It means that the 2 percent private companies took has gone

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@chazzaward1 @OneYorkshireman @KarlTurnerMP Railways will always need subsidies. However, the impact to the economy is worth it.

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@PaulJohnson65 @KarlTurnerMP Was it? I think not

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

Aaron really is clueless when it comes to rail:

1) Wi-fi and mobile phone signal has nothing to do with the railway

2) should trains run while a vulnerable person on the railway? No.

3) how’s it a 4th world railway? Come to the north where Northern can’t sort out Sundays.

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

2 trains cancelled in AM. Hour late for meeting. WiFi & signal doesn’t work, so call not possible.

Going back: Waterloo like Euston. 3 excuses for delay in 2 mins (person on tracks, signals, no driver).

Thank you, @Heidi_Labour, for creating the first ‘4th world’ rail service!

@NicholasLe81575 @GarethDennis @NoelDolphin Cuts. The fact DfT won’t help TPE with increase diesel costs shows as much.

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@AaronBastani Oh Aaron. It was already effectively run by the state. Anyone thinking GBR was a silver bullet is mistaken,

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@NoelDolphin @GarethDennis They forget we are in competition with the car. People who have a bad experience will likely write rail off. I would have hoped DfTO would be rail focused. Seemingly not.

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@GarethDennis @NoelDolphin Northern friend of mine said at their managers conference they were told less subsidy more revenue…

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@LeeRender Dunno. DfT love the RNP input.

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@Captain_Deltic @SteelCityDog_ Is it?

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@BenABrittain A reminder that the non stop Manchester to London Avanti service was due to be axed for to enable this ‘competition’

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@libdembounce @SeenMikeRoss You can’t compete on a network that needs to deliver for all.

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@callumLtfc @ChimeWhistle Probs TPE. Apparently we are in the red by a fair bit.

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@EngFocus @NoelDolphin @matthewhodg Clear the ROSCOs deliver the biggest savings if you take them on.

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@EngFocus @NoelDolphin @matthewhodg Friend at northern who went to their conference said last week the message was “less subsidy more revenue” from GBR. Which you don’t do cutting services

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@GJMarshy @Lindy_Loo15 Look at the TransPennine route upgrade. 11billion and well over a decade of work and disruption. People just don’t get that upgrades take a significant amount of time and don’t deliver the capacity improvements that new lines would.

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@KSchnickelfritz @lewis_goodall Yeah. HS2, oh wait…

[AlwaysOnTheRails @AlwaysRails]

@GarethDennis It’s so shit. How will people distinguish between regions, intercity etc
