Northern Rail

RE: Northern Rail
Totally agree with the last few comments.

Maybe Northern Rail should have learnt a lesson from the organisation of the Tour de France in the Yorkshire area. But that was part of a national event.
Merseytravel and the City Council should also share the blame for the transport fiasco. It is no good that the Mayor says pubiically that "our transport partners let us down". To have extra trains/buses someone has to pay for them. Extra staff have to be brought in to run them. That all costs money but you can bet that neither the Mayor nor Merseytravel put their hands in their pockets to pay for the extra services.
The Mayor is already talking of bringing the Giants back. Of course next time he will be able to finance all the extra transport services that it will require with his savings from all the services to residents that he is chopping in the city.
