I don't actually use Kings Cross, but the experience I have of our train system to London is beyond bleak.
Right from the fact that our Station office is only open 06.00-12.15 Monday to Friday, if and only if, the staff turn up.
Usually I have to buy a permit to travel and a ticket on the :rolleyes:train and the operator never offers the cheapest price despite saying they're trained to always sell the cheapest ticket
Oh and so called First Class on our trains is just a section of the regular carriages, not even a door between them. It's always an empty area while fare paying passengers have to stand.
Now we hear someone talking about trains breaking down because there was a 'malfunction' checking the fuel gauge :rolleyes:
It's always appeared to me that the managerial types who put charters up on the wall and talk about the title of their Powerpoint presentations are invariably the most vacuous and useless.

Oh yeah and fines for late arrival?
Our line gets over that by not stopping at the stations you need to get off at, which they announce once you're in transit.
That way they can minimise the late arrival, but they haven't actually delivered passengers to where they want to go, so the train might be on time, but the passengers spend hours trying to get back to where they wanted to go :rolleyes:

You don't need paper tickets to fly. The train operators need to move with the times.
Not after that little rant she won't be!
How long have you got?

That guy makes David Brent look fairly competent.
I used to use KX regularly to travel to Scotland - what a sh*thole! KX I mean not Scotland!
Abso-bloomin-lutely

Happened to me just last week.
To be fair I think theyre just ground down by the whole experience! I couldn't do it!
