Smelly cants that get on at peak times with a massive bike that takes up the space of 4 people but they don't pay a fare for the privilege.

Smelly fat 4 people who take up the space of someone who likes to do exercise and save the NHS money
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bahahahaha - exactly the catch I prepared my bait for! Cheers, Baz.

Seriously, stinking cyclist cants blocking the doorways - you've got a bike GTF off the train and use it.

When I worked there was a huge posse of the cants would hang their stinking wet clothes on the radiators so the smell could permeate the whole office fvcking filthy animals. Then hang around the cooler taking spanners and spandex before ruining the carpets with their oily cleats and cycling off down the main road instead of the bike lane pretending they were Eddy Mercxx - d.ckheads.

Fat and old people are costing the country BILLIONS. Either do some exercise, get younger or politely die? What happened to our once great young and in shape country?

During the war people rode about on bikes and everyone fighting were mainly under 30. We didn't need old or fat people back when Britain was great and we don't need them now. Get rid.

Try getting on a bus during the day. There's like one elderly seat that you need to give up if you're sitting in it, yet everyone getting on the bus is over 80 so you have to give up whatever seat you're in for some old bint that wants to go and pick up a bag of sugar for their tea. I'm all for people getting old, but it's gone waaaay too far now. Time for change.

There are over 12 million pension age people in the UK now. The vast majority not working. Most of them hoarding houses.

There are only around 10 million LEGAL immigrants. That's fewer than one per old person if they were ALL working in care.

These people are all working and doing their best. Old people are not. They are causing the housing crisis. They demand money for heating when they have all of the money, just to heat the empty mansions that they hoard.

Old people are the cause of all of our problems in society.

Try to drive anywhere, old person doing 20mph on a 60mph road. Young person overtakes and dies, blamed on the young person.

Get on a bus? Nah full of old rich people who get free bus passes? Round of golf? Priced out by old people.

Try to get an NHS appointment for a serious issue, impossible because old people have season tickets.

If you are wondering why the country is in the state it is, well now you know where to look. Do we continue to stand for this?

How much it costs. Trains are fantastic pieces of ingenuity, and they've been turned into money making shills for a select few shareholders. The people are being utterly shafted over all the public services, other countries would riot.

In about 10 years or so half the population will be retired. Might as well just send 100% of working people's wages to the old rich people then. Charges young person £1000 a month for their flat they bought for a tenner 30 years ago and now wants them to pay the heating bill in their own mansion that they live in as well.

In a fair society, old people should be taxed heavily on their properties and wealth, and that money given to young, healthy people to help create a healthy society rather than old people hoarding all the money just to sit and watch coronation street until they die.

Or maybe make old people do a hard day's work for once in their life. Almost everyone that fought in the war is dead now, we ain't letting old people keep that excuse. Get out on your deliveroo bike and start contributing. We had to bring in immigrants to do that because of your laziness.

Btw I support subsidised public transport to get old people off the road so they stop killing young people and cyclists etc. At 75 you should have your licence revoked and forced to start all driving lessons and tests again. Or military service.

If you're allowed to operate a 140mph 5 tonne killing machine on a road then you by definition should also have the reaction times and awareness to serve in the army. Mandatory military service for all over 70s is needed. If you don't think you have the awareness and reaction times for the military service, then you give up your driving license. It's the same thing. It will save countless lives and improve journey times on roads by 100%.

I hate all people who get on trains

Often I'd be at the start of the track so would have a whole carriage to myself. With each stop more disgusting humans entered my carriage.
Do they not know that I was here first and had claimed this space already?

Some humans even had the audacity to sit next to me. One person next to me and one opposite, I whispered "oh fking hell" while looking in their direction to make it known about my anger.

Sometimes these creatures moved, sometimes they didn't and if this was the situation, then I would be on the verge of fainting.

When one of these animals removed themselves from my presence and got off at their stop I would mutter "yeah fk off" under my breath and then would continue staring at them walking past my carriage window.

The feeling of fainting, would eventually pass, as more as more insects returned what is mine, the space of the carriage.

I get on a train in the opposite direction to get to the station at the start of the route, to get on the train first travelling back in the opposite direction, to get a single seat to avoid the disgusting general public. Top tip if you're not at the start of the line.

The answer is the same be it train, plane or anything else... Being sat with selfish unts.

I use the train to either get to London for work or Birmingham and Edinburgh to see friends, my frustrations;
- If I book a train last minute from Eusten to home, there's never any seats left, so I have to stand for 2 hours yet pay the same price. Recently I sat in first class purely because there we no seats and they wanted an extra £180 for a 2 hour journey.
- Summer, the trains don't have air con (unless you get first class)
- The prices, they're frankly disgusting and I'm surprised anybody pays for them. It's cheaper for 3 of us to get a taxi for 60 miles than a train, or fly from Birmingham to Edinburgh.
- For the price we get last generation trains, no air con, often no seat, disgusting toilets, they're late or even cancelled.

For reference - I used to pick up a first class ticket from Wolverhampton to Euston for anywhere between £40 and £80 return, only 5 years ago.

The same ticket for next Wednesday is £250.

I blame the greedy Train Drivers Union,I bet most of them are shareholders ,I've never met a poor train driver yet !

I hate when I give up my seat for a lady and she doesn't shake my hand to say thanks, they never do it

A money saving tip for those with smart phones on more local journeys...
If your starting station has a ticket barrier buy the cheapest journey to get through (usually next stop). If your destination has a ticket barrier buy the cheapest ticket into that station. Enjoy the rest of the journey for free.

If a ticket inspector is on the train just buy a ticket on the train.

Or jump the barriers, give the staff a bit of mouth and ride for free cos those bassrurds won't do fack all.

Lol.

I can get from my local train station to Lisbon (200 miles away, so the same as Manc to London) for €24 if I book a week in advance. The most I’d ever have to pay, buying an open ticket on the day, would be €48.

State owned rail company, prices regulated by the govt.

The Brits allowed the Tories to sell their souls to private shareholders and are reaping the rewards of unfettered boot-on-the-neck capitalism.
