OK, so the prices ercently went up by about 8% (probably because the service has improved and the trains are on time... lol fuck no, it's to make the cunts runng FGW even richer..) and I've started going to Theale everday now.
Firstly the trains are still regularily late. It has only been on time once since I began in Theale on 11th February 2011. That's some bullshit service right there, it would be really hard to run it any worse in my opinion.
Anyway today's gripe is about ticket prices.
In order to get from Newbury to Thatcam I could pay £2.70 every day or buy a weekly ticket for £11 a saving of £2.50 which is acceptable for regular travellers.
Now FGW have realised this is a benefit to their customers and have fucked it off.
So here' the deal from Theale.
Daily return ticket: £4.40 and the Weekly ticket retails at £25.40, so if I work a 5 day week it's MORE FUCKING EXPENSIVE to buy a weekly ticket... which is supposed to save you money... £2.40 more expensive.. 5 x £4.40 is £22...
Unbelievable shit, so you can save money and travel to thatcham cheaper on a weekly ticket, but your lucks out if you want to go an extra 4 stops along the line and you gotta fucking pay through the nose.
I said it before and I'll say it again, the utter cunts that run these Rail comapanies need to be educated in the meaning of customer satisfaction, all the public money pouring in and the service they offer is piss poor at best and downright offensively shocking as a standard. How can the government justify letting these private companies FUCK UP our railways using our publci money to do it? Fucking privitised robbery in daylight.
