Anyone use National express coaches?

[Annie Bynnol]

Just another thought on this and that is never to use trains on a weekend or a bank holiday because three times we fell foul of engineering works. The last time we were going to an event at Kempton Park on a Sunday.

We got the 0915 train from Waterloo after purchasing the tickets at Waterloo with nothing being said about a bus replacement service untill we were on the train. We all got off the train after a few miles and stood waiting in line, for about five hours before we got a bus. The bus driver dropped us off and said the bus replacement was on untill 7pm when the trains started running again. When we got there the event was over, everythig was closed. We could get nothing to eat except bags of crisps. We waited from 5pm untill 7pm for a bus which never came and then got the first train back. Never again. That was the last time we ever used a train.

 

Well at least it did not cost you any money.
