Overcrowding Mossley to Manchester Victoria
« on: October 15, 2009, 01:01:43 AM »
Yet again the 7.25am Huddersfield to Victoria train was full as it got to Mossley this morning, so full that anyone travelling to Ashton was told to leave the train at Stalybridge as the train would not be stoping at Ashton for all those poor souls who never get a seat when they are lucky to get on the train.
Are Northern Rail going to recompence all the people who had to get off at Stalybridge who had to pay for the bus or in the case of my friend a taxi so she ensured she wasn't late for work?

There are rules for transporting animals but apparently not for rail travellers.
When will something be done to improve this third world service?

Everybody can tolerate a late train now and again, or even a broken down one, but there really is no excuse for this.  It doesn't help when the Northern Rail staff are so rude and don't seem to care that you have been inconvenienced.

You are right about the animals - they must have sufficient ventilation and floor area and height appropriate to the size of the animal - rules which obviously do not apply to us mere humans, as my evening train is so packed you cannot breath, and you are so tightly packed it's impossible to even reach in your pocket to answer your mobile phone!
