(25 Mar 2024, 5:33 pm)Storx Aye that's fair must say I couldn't find much on them in either direction.

Agreed though, the ironic thing is the North East is one of the better operations aswell - believe it or not. Arriva Kent and Arriva North West, in particular, are much much worse!

Just sums up how bad they are tbh.

You see it so often when a company is up for sale. The longer it goes, the less the parent company invest in either assets or often more importantly people, and the decline starts to accelerate fast. You would assume new leadership will be the first thing to come. It normally is after a takeover.

Yeah definitely, mind DB Regio pretty much gave up about 5 years ago to be honest. First was much of the same really awhile back and they've seemed to turned the business around a bit. It's not perfect, but it's certainly better than it was, ignoring the mess that's Avanti trains.

Of course! Yeah, that figures! 

Strange it was out in Newcastle, but not on a service, presumably testing it and it's obviously still broke...
