Is anyone else sick to death of buses replacing mainline trains at weekends? On the Clacton -Liverpool St line, we've had long bus journeys replacing our fast train service at w/ends for YEARS- and it looks like this is going on forever. The service never seems to improve so why do they persist in the practice?
I HATE travelling by bus/coach, you can't move, I feel sick & you can't go to the loo/get a drink/read (without feeling nauseous)/move.

I love travelling by train but am stopped from doing so, even when I purchase a TRAIN ticket at w/ends.If I wanted to go to by bus, I'd choose much cheaper NATIONAL EXPRESS.
I've cancelled loads of w/ends away in the last few weeks, because of this bus substitution.
Enough is enough- other European countries manage to run train services 7 days pw.

I wouldn't mind it so much if they reduced the fares to reflect the inconvenience. Do they? Do they 'eck.

3 1/2 hours to get from braintree to white hart lane the other week we drove there in 50 mins. national express wont ever get our custom again if we can help it
