It seems the SENRUG Press Release issued last Friday (see below) is getting noticed. Yesterday, whilst walking the Coast Path at Howick, I did an interview for BBC Radio Newcastle “drivetime” that was broadcast at 16:15 and 17:15. Today, I briefly spoke to the Journal then BBC TV Look North interviewed me at Morpeth Station for tonight’s programme. Their feature also included conversations with people getting on and off Cross Country trains. I hope I put our case across well. But perhaps not as well as the passenger (sorry I don’t know who she is) who simply said: “Trains too crowded? Well, surely they need more of them, not less!” And with that simple logic we rest our case. Let’s hope someone at the DfT was listening.
