Michael Website keeps going off... annoying
It seems to have been down more often than it's been available over the last couple of days - what on earth's going on with it?

I'm missing my regular dose of News from the North East!

Resource Limit Reached, today and the past few days. Really annoying.

Seems to be back up and running fine now (although I still can't upload attachments!)

I also kept getting MySql errors, so I'm guessing the database was too large for the host

Seeing as there isn't a 'what made you feel sick to the pit of your stomach' thread... This one will have to do.

The election result. 

Awful. Horrendous. People believed the lies.

I don't believe that anything has changed. It's still a parliamentary deadlock over what to do with brexit.

I don't think the labour party want to privatise anything Michael.... so that a lie LOL. And to be fair it been proven that all this was costed and although I do think they promised to much to soon.

I'm still waiting for an example of a lie you talk about though???

What do you quantify as crap?

Quite a large number of delays are due to infrastructure issues (signal failures, broken rails, tresspass incidents) which are all the responsibility of Network Rail which is an arms length public body of the Department of Transport.

People have complained about the seating in the new train stock (700's, 800's) - I understand the specification of these trains had not that great deal to do with the TOC but the Department of Transport.

Whilst some issues are down to things like Train Crew issues and TOC's not having enough, I cannot see putting these back into national ownership will fix that problem - just look at Metro, it is now back in Nexus hands rather than DB Regio, and there has been train cancellations due to staff shortages on there.

People complain about fares, and yes Peak fares in and out of London could be classed as pricey, just looking on LNER website, I can get to London on the 0827 from Newcastle for £49 currently on 7th January - which for the 268 mile journey works out at 18p per mile, so not too shabby.  So would putting the railways back change the fare structures to abolish the peak fares - somehow I dont think so.

More about having to 15-20 quid for trains on the last legs.

And I'm sure most people to use the metro it is managed a lot better under nexus than DB Regio if the service is off nexus can get alternative transport in about 30 minutes to hour, 2-3 like DB Regio.

And say this a lot it's miracle the metro trains can manly still run since they past the life expectancy quite a few years ago

Not too bad at all from the DfT owned operator. Especially when you consider punters pay 30p per mile on the privately owned X1 bus service between Houghton and Newcastle. 
£4.60, approx 15 mile journey.

The rail companies take millions ( billions) in had out to run the services from the taxpayer but then pay shareholders too? Surely we could cut out the middleman and nationalise the railways.

As for GNE and Arriva bus fares, especially singles!!!!!!!! GRRRR

British Rail companies have been bought by foreign countries , all the customers who pay for train tickets are not been put back into the uk train services, instead thus money is being spent updating there own train services in there own countries, the money that these train operators get to update the train services in the uk is the handouts that there get from the uk government, every time the uk train companies get fined for being late etc... comes out from raising fares as the shareholders don’t pay for it, this is why fares are a lot higher than there supposed to be.

DSLR lens is acting up, at least have my other one in for repairs at APM Cameras in Newcastle so hopefully it’ll be repaired by Tuesday so had to use my phone today for the Scania event as my lens has a faulty ribbon cable, was working fine yesterday when I went to York. Also unwell over the last few days so didn’t stay long at the Scania event.
