I know a handful of folk who use the railway daily or regularly and I'm constantly shocked by ticket prices. Most recent journey was to Inverness or somewhere nearby. Cost £420 return, first class was another £30! Journey took hours with a number of changes. Was a completely intolerable experience never mind the price. Theres various early booking offers but thats just code for for ripping off normal customers.
Robbing b'stards. Should be renationalised. Public services should be public services, not private profit. Telecoms, water, gas, electric, local services, health, housing, education, transport, its all been handed to private profiteers either directly or by PFI.
And what have ordinary working people had since the rise of the new right ? 30 anti-union laws, deregulated labour market, 3rd party employment, maximum wage act, legalised pension theft and destruction..........and perhaps what might be the biggest fraud ever with the new compulsory 'pension' legislation.......hope I live long enough to see the hand wringing and knee jerking.
That was a party political broadcast by the ITS BARELY EVEN STARTED party, don't worry you'll get your turn.

Not 100% sure I'm going yet not got a ticket. Train price atm £79.90 return to Euston includes tube to Fenchurch then local train to Upton Park. Might work out a lot cheaper on the coach or car share.  Last time I went to Upton Park (many moons ago) Billy Bonds had just taken over the captaincy from Bobby Moore who had just retired. 1974-75 somewhere around there.  |

Just check another price etc and this tells me from Euston Underground Station take the Victoria Line (Southbound, Platform 5) to Green Park Station. Change and take the Jubilee Line (Southbound, Platform 6) to West Ham Station. Confused yes I am.  |
