I hope you don't administer your own penalty fares, as I'm afraid I just lost faith in your suitability for that task.<br /><br />Martin Milanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537976349556078708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549012194641756602.post-54119469890830799142012-10-03T11:06:01.844+01:002012-10-03T11:06:01.844+01:00I agree Martin.

It seems they are either incapable of finding the guard (worrying) or don't want to (also worrying). <br /><br />With the absence of information coming from Cross Country, we can only speculate why they are so unforthcoming with this information and/or progress. Frustrating, very very frustrating.PapasWorldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101553799242143522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549012194641756602.post-23813040818068214262012-10-03T10:07:46.075+01:002012-10-03T10:07:46.075+01:00And their crew roster system is incapable of deter...And their crew roster system is incapable of determining who this should have been? <br /><br />Had their been a murder on board, Cross Country are unable to confirm who worked that particular set?<br /><br />I rather doubt it.Martin Milanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537976349556078708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549012194641756602.post-1706073806891950142012-10-02T11:03:43.707+01:002012-10-02T11:03:43.707+01:005 days later and no further progress.

That was one of the reasons I wanted a quick resolution so they could identify him easier.PapasWorldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101553799242143522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549012194641756602.post-53243021219548611492012-09-27T14:53:51.147+01:002012-09-27T14:53:51.147+01:00Interestingly, only an hour after these comments, ...Interestingly, only an hour after these comments, the investigations team at Cross Country give me a call to say things are proceeding.

This man isn't a criminal, or a fare dodger - he's a frequent customer who spends thousands on your service. He's also a very nice, reasonable bloke - your guard should have been able to resolve the matter in a polite, civil way.<br /><br />That would include not slandering him - because I'll state it here - he absolutely DOES NOT travel from York to Leeds. Your guard is making stuff up - and then submitting it as evidence to the police - about your valued customer. This might be something you could address perhaps?<br /><br />Rail delays piss people off - I should know, I've suffered enough of them on that route myself. A bit of civility would make your jobs somewhat easier.<br /><br />Martin Milan.<br /><br />Martin Milanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537976349556078708noreply@blogger.com
