Hmmm , make the trains pass every 5 hours.
That would be a major improvement to thier quality considering what they are now

To improve the railsystem in England it has to come back to government!! The private enterprise that are axploiting the rail in england want only to make money!! Let's see in Belgium, train and rails are in very good condition.

Yeah having ridden on the trains here in the UK for almost four years, I've noticed that they are improving, but only a little, there really needs to be a lot of money spent on upgrading, the system is all just too old. The amount they charge for tickets they should be able to put more towards the up keep of the system, these contractors they use are getting far too much money and obvoiusly not doing enough.
