No tears at Newark Northgate

The BBC are reporting that the Chief Executive of National Express will be resigning. I have been told by a friend who used to work with Richard Bowker that he is actually quite a decent man.

Unfortunately the commuters at Newark Northgate station, and I suspect those at stations along the East Coast mainline won’t be shedding a tear.

Last year the company took over £16,000 from me and my wife for our season tickets. Trains were often dirty, delayed and frankly the service left alot to be desired.  The problem is if there is a new Chief Exec at National Express, or indeed if a new train operator takes over the East Coast mainline, I’m not sure service will improve.
