Only thing I could really moan about was the number of dickhead passengers on the train, the worst offenders being 2 pissed up cunts who were generally just being loud and offensive to anyone who would listen conductor told them a number of times to shut up but obviously he couldn't really run the risk of a fight with them, and one total prick who was having a go at the conductor because the carridge was hot- right in the middle of the July heatwave and in the early evening WTF is the poor bloke meant to do about it? strip the air-con pack in the middle of a journey? Oh and not forgetting the usual "talk as loud as humanly possible for as long as you can on your phone" bint

think that as usual, its the management letting the workers down
Exactly, I imagine it's quite a hard job to do in all fairness. I know I would have trouble keeping my temper under control at the end of a long shift, in a hot carriage, with a couple of wankers giving me abuse.
