Thabks to Chiltern - but how about extra carriages?
"Adrian" wrote in message .4... So why do they insist on running 2 car units on weekday evenings, while there's plenty of *other* 2 car units sat dark and quiet on the platforms at Marylebone and in sidings just outside? That is, indeed, becoming an increasing problem. On Wednesday and Thursday nights, in particular, it is not unusual to find the post-theatregoing trains with standing room only. |

Reminds me of a saturday early in december. I'd been out to dinner with some friends, and got the last Aylesbury (via Amersham) train. As I recall it was either a 2 or 3 car unit, and was wedged, with passengers having to stand in the aisles, as well as filling the vestibules. If I hadn't managed to get a seat, I probably wouldn't have bothered and got the 10 past midnight via High Wycombe instead. Unless units HAVE to be back at Aylesbury beforehand, it doesn't seem beyond the realms of common sense to make sure the last trains are the longest length for the route. |

like they were saying : Reminds me of a saturday early in december. I'd been out to dinner with some friends, and got the last Aylesbury (via Amersham) train.
