Britain's 24,000 trains per-day is also more than Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Portugal and Norway combined.
Punctuality figures are not so good, simply because our railway network cannot cope in many places with the increase in passenger numbers and the number of train services needed to run in order to accommodate this, mostly due to lack of government investment.
The selling or not selling of certain newspapers is a very minor issue. Alternative newspapers are available for both first and standard class passengers. Many passengers in standard class leave their paid for newspapers behind when they alight, so you just collect a free copy.
LOL @ butthurt JRA, picking me up for the most minor of 'errors', i.e. using the word "most" instead of "sometimes".
Thank fuck you got banned from DS because it means the only time I get to see the utter shite you post is when I actively seek it out, and that ain't often.
The word you used was always, not most. So, don't come here telling me I'm butt hurt, when you can't even read your own posts. And yes I'm quite glad I'm not on DS, because people like you just spend most (note I used the word most not all) of your time trolling other users. The fact that I was banned and not people like you speaks volumes about how far DS has sunk into the gutter these days.
I'm sure the purchasing department aren't also responsible for the timely running of the train service. Although perhaps they are, and that's why the trains are always late
