I travelled from Wolverhampton to Loughborough via Leicester yesterday
(Sunday), and not once did a guard check my tickets. I went on XC trains
from WVH to LEI, and EMT from LEI to LBO. I usually have my tickets
checked when I go on XC and EMT trains.

All the trains I caught were extra cram packed, with the rugby fans on
top of the usual passengers. Even the vestibules were packed full of
passengers, it was reminiscent of Indian railways I see on the TV. If
there were a running boards and grab rails, on the side of carriages I
wouldn't be surprised to see some people use them. LOL.

Also, when a platform is cram packed, like at Birmingham New St, or
Leicester yesterday, why is it that people crowd around a door to get
onto a train and won't move out of the way to let people off. The only
way through the crowd is to push myself through, which feel is bullying.


Can't wait for Peirs Corbin's brother to get elected and renationalise the Railways.
