The letter adds "In contrast to virtually all other lines in East Anglia, many of which have seen a doubling or more of their service level in recent years, the Colchester Town to Clacton service remains at a worse level than in the sixties.
"The line has suffered from a spiral of neglect since then, with several unkempt stations, abnormally high fares discouraging use, a very high percentage of ticketless travel reducing revenue and a generally negative ambience".
I'm a researcher for a TV production company called Hardcash Productions - www.hardcashproductions.com - and I'm currently researching a documentary looking at conditions on the UK's rail network, as experienced by regular passengers. We would like to know if your experiences reflect recent reports of overcrowding, high cost of tickets and unreliable services on some lines.
ReplyDeleteWe would very much like to talk to anyone who is a regular passenger/commuter and has strong feelings on any or all of these subjects either way.
If you are interested please call us on 02072532782 or email us your contact details and a time to get in touch with you at hardcash@hardcashproductions.com.
I look forward to hearing from you
Many thanks
