...if he thinks this is cause for hope, he clearly hasn't travelled on Northern Rail.
You are stood on the platform in the cold and rain as the lights of the train come around the bend 2 miles away.
There are several hundred soaken, bedraggled passengers waiting as the last two services have been cancelled, and this one is 90 ninety minutes late.
As the train pulls in you note with sinking heart it only has two carraiges and is already very full.
You are swept aboard on a tide of humanity to whatever mediocre space can be found, there is no space for the needy to work their way towards occupied seats.
As you wait with your nose pressed to the armpit of a fellow sufferer, the guard announces that the service is cancelled as they dont have a driver.
