They met up with me to get the campiagn angle from MTLS, and also with Southern trains. Interstingly they couldn't get any other train companies to talk to them.
We travelled the commuter line to Bristol, and they got good comments from travellers, but the trains were by and large on top form that day, and plenty of seats.
They were doing a news item for France 3, the equivalent of channel 4 news on Blairs heritage.
They said that the French opinion of British trains is very low, and the  camera team were gobsmacked by the prices, ancient rolling stock and the fact that is it leased rather than owned by the train cos.
Don't know when it is on tv, if you are desperately keen it will be on their website at some time (probably)
