Train passengers deserve better standard of service

If railways had existed in the 14th century, surely Dante would have reserved one of the Circles of Hell in his Inferno for train passengers condemned to suffer endless rounds of weekend engineering works.

In this recurring nightmare, victims would spend aeons waiting in the cold, only to be jammed on to old, rattly buses for a seemingly endless journey. Ultimately they would be dumped not at their destination but simply another station along the line, to wait for another train.
