Railway poor service?

Question

Hi, I'm doing a bit of a research, I hope you'll help me telling what you think. Which do you reckon are the most serious problems of the English railway service? I'm particularly interested in from-and-to London lines. Thanks.

Answer 1

High ticket prices are the biggest problem by far. This is especially true for journeys starting or ending in London.

Answer 2

Total lack of investment over the years has left a very poor infastructure.

Answer 3

The English railway service is good. Most of the time it gets you to where you want to go within a few minutes of the scheduled time. There are problems on some routes and at certain times but, if cost were not a factor, I prefer rail to flying or coach for transport within the UK anytime.
