| 03-3-2010 | rail strikes are coming but dont think the staff want more money or less hours we just want safety and no more job cuts as we are already running on an all time staff low and risks are taken more often to get jobs done,maintenance is at an all time low and the ground staff have had enough and refuse to have the blood of passengers or co-workers on there hands!!!! so when the strikes come just so you know we dont want big pay rises we just want a safe railway and no more cuts to avoid the worst | angelsonrails |

| 10-12-2009 | I am researching an idea for a new product for commuters to avoid breathing in other peoples sickly, foul, nasty smelly air. I would really appreciate your help. I have created a survey which explains this new product and asks for your thoughts about it. Please fill it out and it will take less than 5 mins of your time. Thanks for your help !

| 14-11-2009 | I dont want to move to Basildon but talking to my office mates comparing weekly season train tickets. Tonbridge, Kent to City is equidistant to Basildon, Essex to City. Essex fare £52....Kent fare £75. I now know we are being ripped massively in Kent. I hope the train drivers in Kent are getting paid more than their Essex colleagues if not they are being mugged as well. | ElPea |
| 10-11-2009 | I often find that my trains are overcrowded and I rarely get a seat. Have you seen the Crazy Morphing Suitcase Video? If this is for real then hopefully it will make the commute a lot more enjoyable! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFK58xVXego | Melissa Digitalis |
| 03-10-2009 | Just wanted to know if anyone commutes currently from Milton Keynes central to Euston and then onto Victoria? What is the journey like and are the trains reliable. Info on costs would be great and parking options from Milton Keynes Central. thanks. | Nic |
| 25-9-2009 | Just wanted to know what people thought of the commute from South Manchester to Aldford (just outside Chester) or Chester generally? Im considering it but not sure if it will be hell in rush hour! | LK |
| 04-9-2009 | In response to 'Tired Traveller' comment;
Stop being so lazy! Write back to Virgin Trains and kick up a real fuss about it and they'll give you a full refund.
I was on-board one of their new Pendolinos (well it was new back then) when the air conditioning system leaked cold water (likely condensation) onto myself. I complained and they only wanted to offer me rail travel vouchers so I simply wrote back and they agreed to a full cash refund on the £40 ticket.
Stop being so ignorant and lazy, write back, kick up a bit of a fuss and get that refund you clearly want so badly.
