Radio - tomorrow morning?
Do I just get rather blasé about things at times? Maybe ... a phone call to return, and it turns out to be a BBC interview looking for comment prior to the release of tomorrow's rail white paper. 40 seconds to put a case.
Let me see - from a customer's viewpoint, I would like to see it leading to trains of an adequate capacity (not badly overcrowded) running at times that they're wanted by people who wish to travel (and not to a timetable designed to suit the convenience of operation first and foremost), with an appropriate number of backups / spares to make them relaible, and at a sensible price. And how to achieve that? Now there's the $64,000 question - but I did point out the complex bureacracy of the current system, and all the non-passenger interests it feeds. Thinks that bit may have been "off recording".
BBC, Radio 5 live, 06:35 tomorrow!
