00:00It's just, we just have a really expensive train service and so often it's cancelled because there's lack of train crew and it should be good, but it doesn't always work out.
00:12Ridiculous. The prices are ridiculous. We're supposed to be saving the planet and the price of travelling anywhere, if there's more than one of you, you might as well get in your car.
00:21And it's expensive for me and I've got a good job, but I can't imagine how it cripples people that are just trying to make a minimum wage and feed their families and eat their homes.
00:32It's a joke. Privatising the railways was never a good idea. It should be for the people, other countries in Europe, you know, they subsidise everything so people can move around and here it feels like we're just getting squashed into stay at home, don't move around, don't communicate with other people and it's becoming a lonely nation.
00:50I mean I could go on for a long time about it. I don't think it's right, especially as I commute to other places outside London and the prices are looking like 15, 20, 30 quid just one way. Yeah, I think it does need to be reduced.
01:09Oh my god, don't. So it costs me around 500 per month, so 25 a day, so it's very expensive. Train travel is very expensive. Given how the government does in other parts of nationalisation, maybe not.
