It really becomes difficult to know who to believe - unions, government, rail companies - or whether they are all telling a part of the truth which suits their purpose.
A few observations dtached from media, union or other spin:
- the basic infrastructure is a disgrace - a Victorian legacy not a 21st century transport solution
- volumes declined during Covid (understandably), have not yet recovered, and may never do so
- the rhetoric being deployed is like time travelling back to the 1970s
