A case of the tail wagging the dog??
Is the service level requirement set by the passenger requirement, or by the number of trains that happen to be available? Outside the current franchise, but I was on the South West Trains service from Keynsham into Bristol Temple Meads at 07:44 this morning. Full, standing, and indeed standing so close to one another it was almost uncomfortable.
Is it possible that some of the current problems / reduced specification is due to the lack of equipment due to no-one having the foresight and/or motivation and/or responsibility to make sure that there are acutally enough trains / seats to go up and down the line?
