Ah thats good, that would have been a good start to their visit to the UK, being stung for more money and having a shitty start to their stay.

I know that we should treat all equaly and no doub if i was in foreign country with wrong ticket they would charge me for the correct fare, so its good to see that their are some out there who can look outside the rules and regulations ive done it and i am sure there are plenty also on the trains that do also.

Hope your relatves enjoy the rest of their stay, and lets hope they don't get the wrong train back...lol

As a visitor to this country I will say that the attitude of the rail staff is terrible. The way the staff speak to their customers is appaling.

Just to say that you jokers should try being civil or some of you will really get a beating one day.

In Australia the rail staff are fantastic and make you people here look like monkies.

Yes Aussie Mike, why not tar all rail staff with the same brush eh? I think you may find everybody treats people in different ways. Personally if your pleasant with me i'll return the compliment. If you threaten to "give me a beating" I may also return that compliment, think your attitude may have a little something to do with the fact people talk to you like crap perhaps?

Aussie Mike your talking out of your arse. Travelling round Britain the past few weeks all I've found is very polite staff, though some of the passengers are right wankers and rightly deserve the whinging pom tag!
Don't know which part of Oz you come from but the railroad staff I've met back in Perth leave a lot to be desired, most of them are direct bloody decendents of the Brit criminals.
No wonder you lot threw them out!

I've had a good long chat with the reli's about this and TD echos my relatives opinions of Rail travel in the UK when compared to Austrailia. They really slated the service over there and were very complimentary about how polite and helpfl the staff were and how clean they thought the coach was. I could resist pointing out that they hadn't yet travelled in and old unrefurbished 125 coach but I make no appologies for that. So you probably are talking SHITE AM.

Hello Bloggers! I am writing an article for the Sunday Times and I would love to hear from some of you bloggers, partic Fentyke, Razors and Bad Wolf.

You can find me on Facebook

Sarah-Jane Barker or write to me at

Sarah-Janebarker@live.co.uk

Look forward to hearing from you.

To Bad wolf and Razor Glass

You two are a right pair of faggots.

If you would like to arrange a time and place to meet me you can say these things directly to my face if you have the bottle, which I doubt.

I will cut you both to pieces.

Well boys do you have the guts?

I can almost smell your fear from here.

Oh Razor Ronnie, thanks for the kind offer, you've really brightened up my day, I'm still laughing now.

I was wondering how long it would be until you offered to 'beat me up', as looking at the blog over the last few months, that appears to be your style.

This is probably due to your total lack of word and debating skills, eg if you can write a paragraph without swearing you think your William Shakespeare; though I doubt you even know who he is, so to keep it simple I'll say Enid Blyton. When you've exhausted your extremely limited vocabulary you resort to threats of violence.

I shall have to decline your genourous offer of 'cutting me to pieces', as I stopped that sort of behaviour when I was about twelve years old.

Grow up you stupid neandathal twat, end of argument, YOU LOSE!

Just in case your sleeping uneasily in your beds tonight....double entrende which you literay genuises should well understand, think about it!!!

course i know about double entendre (not entrende) ive watched enough carry on films.

What it means is you just chat a lot of shit, instead of being yourself, and like i tell those customers " i sleep very well at night thanks"

Although the original post praised the guard for waiving the excess, a minority seem to want to bash NXEC staff for doing their job...

Maybe RazorRonnie should head down to Heathrow and batter the member of staff who actually SOLD THE TICKET (you never know, might have actually been a trainee who was trying his best?) and not the person trying to deal with the aftermath....

While RazorRonnie is at it, maybe he should also go and launch abuse at the Police and Fireman who on 7/7 could not save those that died in London's Underground system, because they were just doing their job, but did not please everyone.....

Maybe some of you should move to Woking and see the shit that South West Trains puts on its passengers, then NXEC commuters might actually feel a bit better off!
