Lets just say that if you want an overpriced death then British rail services have it. They have one of the worst safety records in Europe. In fact there are third world countries with better safety records!!!
As for the buffet cars, well rumour has it they take the sandwiches out of the display case once a month and scrub them down with bleach to kill off the mould (I thought it was lettuce!), and you'll need to get a mortgage just to afford a luke warm cup (small) of
mud coffee, as for sugar and cream they are well into the realms of fantasy!!!
I could happily go on all day, but Pete would give me a thick ear for the kind of language I'd have to use to describe the British rail services. Frankly I've never encountered such a useless bunch of ninnys in my life!!! And I won't even go into some areas of Britain where the rail service is run by private enthusiast organisations, but if you want a sound view then read Bill Brysons Notes From A Small Country, there is one American gentleman who really understands the UK, and is so funny I daren't risk reading him on the bus as I make strange snorting giggle noises that upset the other victims
