Luckily that post didn't vanish eh?

No, it isn't just a mumbled answer from the driver that is GNE at it's very worst.

If you read the post again; particularly the section about the delays, timetable contradictions, mumbled answers that don't make sense and (depending which timetable I used/referred to), at least one missing service.

Here's me thinking the only portion of my journey which fell under the TfL banner was on the Northern Line

The lack of investment (public or private), really does show the region up badly.
Imagine a tourist or business person from another part of the country or abroad, experiencing the good, bad and ugly mentioned in the example?
