What get's me is the ridiculous cost of rail tickets vs the crap service you get for it. 21st century and still an archaic train system running on steel tracks.

How about spending the money on things that would make living here better for all. All the council seems todo is follow in the footsteps of central government and spend it on their own pet projects and waste the rest, in my opinion.
