"Civil servants are threatening the Cornish branch lines; on the Weymouth line, high-speed trains are set to be replaced by commuter trains which are not designed for the level of comfort passengers expect on longer journeys; and Ministers have slashed services to stations like Severn Tunnel, Melksham, and Pilning which will now get only two trains - a week."
