- the tube is doing a 1 train every half hour service in the burbs. Fantastic.
Good to know the people running public transport really have the public
interest at heart.



Why would it be in "the public interest" to run trains at more
frequent intervals when there is insufficient demand to justify them?

So who should pay for these unnecessary additional trains? Council
tax payers in London? Taxpayers around the UK?

Everyone except you, presumably. ;-)
