Congestion charges for trains

Featured Replies

Say the government. It's wound me right up this.

 

So you can't get a job near your home (assuming of course you can afford to get on the property ladder in the first place and own a home), you can't afford a home near your job and soon you won't be able to afford travel costs even if you use public transport, which is unreliable, filthy dirty, slow and expensive as it is. Car insurance is ludicrously priced along with petrol, car tax and so on ad nauseum.

 

The operators seem not to have thought of whacking another carriage on, putting extra services at peak times on or doing away with the first class carriage which is always empty anyway.

 

I might use a train to get to the airport in order to fcuk off to Australia.

as long as you don't go between 8am-9am, and 4:30pm-6pm

So not only are your wages going to pay for lazy dole bastards who sit smoking all day with no intention or desire to work....

 

now we all have to pay ... just to earn wages.... to then pay to the scroungers.

 

This country is a f*cking mess, sometimes I wish I could up and leave.

i havent got a problem with genuine out of work people who are trying to get back into things etc, been there myself many years ago, but i do begrudge paying these tw*ts in ivory towers 2 times to use the same feckin bit of road every day!! i can smell revolution in the air!!! :D/

The charges Darling is on about is an attempt to stop peoplerelying on using their cars and getting on public transport instead, it will replace car tax in theory, also insurance companies will use it to set your premium.

 

quite ironic that in the same week all the talk is about how going to increase charge for using public transport.

 

stealth tax anyone ?

good point! think i'll buy myself an ex army armstrong, cover it in camo paint ( then they cant see it or me!!) and sneak to work on the back roads!! as no matter how much it costs, i still wont be able to get to work and back when i need to on public transport. supose theyll lthrow that back at me though saying i could always change my job! there right! i could become a deckchair man on a majorcan beach! lovely! melone! tutti frutti!ananas!coco loco!!!!! :D :-k

Last time I worked at home (I class this as greater Man and surrounding area ) was 1997

any jobs for lean manufacturing and six sigma consultants in aberdeen mate!? probably easier to get there than trafford park some mornings!! ](*,)

I would think so, Aberdeen is very busy at the moment.

PM me if you need any info

tonnes of sheep up there isnt there? =P~

is that not true though, that they're all fuckw??ts in westhoughton?

cant speak for everybody obviously haha, i know i'm not! in fact,its been ages since i fucked anything :-({|=

so people will end up paying tax on trains that don't even turn up/are an hour late and absolutely jammed full?

 

makes sense ](*,) aren't they supposed to be persuading us to get on public transport?
