Richard Wilson’s Trauma on Trains – Via Yate

If you are too at the end of your tether when it comes to train journeys, in not only Yate but across the entire country. You must watch dispatches on March 21st.

 

Richard Wilson is investigating the madness that is our rail service in the UK as he attempts to cross the country via rail.

 

The Dispatches documentary is set to investigate complaints into the rise in ticket prices, overcrowding on carriages and cancellations.

 

There is expected to be a major government review in trains in the next few weeks.

 

When trying to buy a ticket over and automated system, Richard Wilson was bombarded with automated responses. Richard wanted to purchase a ticket from Manchester and Harrogate but was asked in response if he wanted to travel to Trowbridge in Wiltshire, Kyle of Lochalsh in the Highlands, Angel Road in London, Severn Beach in Avon and our very own Yate Station.

 

After all the problems with Yate Station in recent months, you couldn’t blame him for not wanting to travel to Yate Station.

 

There is nothing worse than automated systems. They never get it right; you always end up speaking to an operator in the end anyway so what is their purpose.

 

Richard wouldn’t have appreciated our lack of shelter and lack of ticket system if he had made it to Yate so maybe he had a lucky escape.
