Every morning they are late. The 7.24 was late again this morning and got to brum around 8.30. It's rubbish

I think we can say @Bob that we get the hint that you think the chase line is rubbish. Have you never heard of using the bus or even a private conveyance instead of the incessant moaning causing the thread to block up

Bloody hell!

Well said. And the fact that the wires have been down all afternoon at Smethwick have meant all services are screwed. And of course a Nationalised railway would not suffer from the wires coming down, all trains would run to the minute...

The bus doesn't suit my work hours and the M6 is a car park so no. Check out their twitter ...it isn't just me that thinks it. Oh isn't this thread about London Midland?

The Chase line has issues daily......

Is it too much to ask to have a service that A) actually you aren't late for work almost every day for and B) isn't dangerously overcrowded and people can actually manage to board and not get left?

Well then @Bob if the bus doesn't suit your work hours and the M6 a car park, try getting a job closer to home or go a alternative way.

Oh I forgot that's too simple.

Bob · November 30, 2016, 06:12:11 PM

Yea heaven forbid we should have a reliable train service eh? Almost everyone one the platform slates it every day. Seriously it's a piss poor service but hey ho......

the trainbasher · November 30, 2016, 06:16:16 PM

Have you ever thought about moving to somewhere else then instead? You may even get a decent bus service to get you to work!!

Bob · November 30, 2016, 06:19:36 PM

Why should I have to though? Seriously? I enjoy my job a lot no work with a great team. It's not much fun having to constantly ring your boss. 7am on Monday I left house. Didn't get to brum till 9.40. That isn't good in all fairness. They need to do something. The MP ( as much of an idiot she is as LM don't allocate carriages do they isn't it govt that says who gets what?) Is all over it. Been on midlands today last week about how awful it is

Because it'll stop your incessant moaning. People like you are the reason the forum is losing members

Bob · November 30, 2016, 07:22:30 PM

Christ I hope you don't work in customer service lol

Local Government thanks :-) I'm just a mere admin assistant who picks up the telephone and hears people complain about nice little window adornments that are yellow

Bob · November 30, 2016, 08:00:13 PM

I get people who don't work ringing up whinging about their taxpayer funded house lol. Vile

Just go down the hard shoulder on the M6. I do that usually to skip through the traffic. Obviously sometimes the hard shoulder is open as a lane too which doesn't help.

On your car, put a fake name and change the address for the registered keeper and fly through the cameras with your middle finger held high.
