Hampshire Red Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Anyone who wants to train from Hampshire will be subjected to the 3 Rd world 'service' with 3 or 4 carriages, no available seats, no refreshments, little access to the toilets and an awful feeling of being ripped off by an unreliable business. What on earth are they like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 At least you have trains HR. Dr Beeching would appear not to have liked Somerset very much. Name me another area with four close-by towns and a population of over 50,000 without a train link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 In his book "Parallel Lines" author Bob Marchant stated; Take official and private cars away from MPs, Town Councillors and the directors of bus & train companies. Public transport in this country would improve overnight. As an aside; please do not blame Dr Beeching, he was only the fall guy. Ernest Marples was Minister of Transport and appointed Beeching to do a job. Ernest Marples was a major shareholder in Tarmac Construction. Quite by chance, Tarmac Construction had won the Government contract to plaster the country with motorways. If railway lines were ripped up, more roads would be needed. That in turn led to bigger dividends for those with shares in Tarmac. To avoid any possible conflict of interests, good old Ernie gave his shares away.............to his wife!

Although Beeching later admitted that as the "expert" he underestimated the growth in car use in this country by 1000%.

It was a dig at the OP who said........ "Every one wants to contribute to reducing the pollution levels." Maybe it's me that's abnormal for wanting to drive to Ashton Gate.

Only pick your fights with your loved one when you really care about the outcome, was looking at paving slabs the other day , what colour would you like she asks, don't give a f thinks I , wanders off to look at other things wife shouts after me walk back get taken out to look at more paving slabs , which slabs she asks? which are cheapest I say , don't like them she responds , oh which do you want says I , these she says (second most expensive) , OK says I thinking is there some paint I can watch dry. but when I do care I get my own way (not very often but that's probably why I am still married ).
