Blimey, is this a smidgin of praise for LU?


Doubtful - I imagine in Boltar world that LU is rated as appallingly
awful but Network Rail and the TOCs are so awful as to be beyond
redemption.


Pretty much. LU might be a pain but at least they have some sort of cohesive
policy to running their network despite the governments best efforts to f*ck
that up with semi privitisation. The TOCs however don't give a monkeys about
anything beyond their bank balances. The only exception I would make would be
Midland Mainline who do seem to try. The rest of them from my experience simply
don't give a damn.


In other words we're all crap.


Sadly I suspect your right. I wonder what he does to justify his existence.


Funnily enough I don't need to. Plus I do a job where I have to meet
customers and if they ask me to explain something I couldn't get away with
just saying "dunno mate" and shrugging my shoulders like train staff seem to
get away with. NOt if I wanted to keep my job beyond 5.30 on that day that is.
