I AM about to report a strange and wonderful thing — I have had two decent train journeys.
It was during a weekend when I had four rail trips and two of were also awful, but let’s not be greedy – half is at least a start.
Both trains were on time, were not delayed mid-journey, my seat was not double-booked and there was enough space for everyone.
I hope this is the start of a new era for our railways. I can hope — but I doubt it will be.
