A travellers lament

Ok, so we all know there's a WAG election coming up in a few days. I've read all the literature from all the parties (yes, even the little ones), and I've watched the PPB's and numerous political programs over the weeks. I know who I'll be giving my vote to but all that could change if someone from any god damn party, any one at all, could promise me without a doubt to improve the rail service! I am mightily cheesed off with sitting on train station platforms aimlessly waiting for trains that are either very delayed or just don't turn up at all. I am sick of having to leave the house at least 90 minutes before I'm due at work and catching trains that are too early for me but I get them just incase the train after just doesn't turn up. How the heck is this country to have a hope in hell of meeting any targets to cut the number of cars on the road when we have such a dire excuse for a rail service. If I worked for a rail company, particularly Arriva, I'd be bloody well embarrassed! If I worked for a rail company and I found myself at a party being asked the typical question "what do you do?" , I think I'd be more inclined to tell people I worked for the inland revenue!
