I needed to know why they don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 67 Octagon and Every 37 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 147MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 147MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 18 Tonnes for all of those 147MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!!!!!!!!! And Please do something about these Very Very Very Very Very Very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.

British Railways and Privatised Railways are all subject to Treasury control. In real time the 5 year budget for Network Rail is going down. There is no initiative to run things any better because of this tight control. All the promises that have been made such as making investment less London Centric etc have been cancelled or frozen. The Williams Shapp bill was originally just the Williams Bill which was excellent until Shapps added his name and amendments to it. There is not even a rolling plan for electrification with the new lines built (Borders in Scotland for example) and East West Rail being built being Diesel Power. I doubt if the Tory leaders have ever travelled on a train which signifies their lack of interest.

I live not too far from Denton. the train comes literally once a week. at about 9am. It doesn't even go to central Manchester and instead goes to a neighbouring town. This route has connections that allow it to reach the centre. Despite the positives it can bring to the all the areas, it has instead had to be fought hard by the local community. Running once a week, it is now ran like cute little bit of local history instead of a functional route which could help reduce congestion around the East Manchester ring-road. There could easily be a route to Stockport, and then into Manchester, in around 20-25 minutes. This would 100% be a busy train as it's connecting stations do not have great transport links but are quite well populated.
It just seems like another case of private companies not wanting to improve the routes and it's communities, and instead, try to make as much money as possible whilst using as little as possible.

Bit of a correction. Train Operating Companies (TOCs) don't run franchises any more they have management contracts. While it may sounds like a technical difference it actually a very different structure financially.
Under the franchising system TOCs would bid to run a service and in return for running that service they would receive all the proceeds of ticket sales, the idea being they would be incentivised to run on-time, clean, regular trains to make as much money from tickets as possible. Unfortunately the bottom fell out of the commuter market as people moved to WFH meaning that several franchisees "handed back the keys" leaving the government to run things.
With COVID the franchises were making zero money from tickets and many wanted to "hand back the keys" but the government (which is committed to privatisation) changed things to management contracts where the companies hand all ticket revenue to the treasury and in return they get a flat profit margin (usually 3%) with the chance to get more for hitting certain goals r.e. service and punctuality. This means that there's basically zero risk to the TOCs as they have a guaranteed profit just for turning up.

a Monthly fee 300£ to do 3 stops to london it's mental. There is no other way to describe it. They are literally robbing us with a paper ticket. Is basically what you pay in Italy to travel with Freccia Rossa (the best train available) from Naples to Rome unlimited times for 1 months.

The franchising system was fine, the issue with it was the braindead civil service who wanted to meddle in everything. Like the huge issues at Northern, caused by the DFT over specifying in the contract but refusing to fund the infrastructure needed but then still forced Northern to keep the trains running which led to the huge timetable collapse in Manchester.
Similarly, issues with the class 800s, this was all dictated by the civil service who wanted to make a name for themselves. Since 2015 or so, train operators, despite being on a franchise, rarely had any control anyway because ministers and civil twats all wanted their stamp on the paper but then when it went wrong, they swiftly passed the blame onto someone else.
Virgin was a huge, huge example of franchising done right. Virgin made huge improvements to services, improved customer comfort and satisfaction. Introduced new routes off their own backs, routes which if Virgin hadn't existed, the routes wouldn't have existed. Virgin had much lower fares too and was one of the main reasons why railway patronage has grown so much in the past few years.
