Somebody should tell Lucy here that it is dangerous to play on a railway line. She might get run over by a train! But she will be safe this coming weekend because it seems they are closing most of the rail network for engineering works.
And as usual people are complaining because it will mess their long weekend up. So when exactly are they supposed to do major engineering works then? Would it be better for them to do it while everybody is working and totally disrupt millions of peoples journey to work?
Or maybe they should just do it overnight every night and disrupt the sleep of anybody who lives anywhere near the railway, taking twice as long and costing a lot more?
Or maybe they should leave it like they used to when it was British Rail and only actually maintain anything when it is already broken and too late?
The people complaining are the people who bitch about anything the railways do, want everything perfect without having to pay for it and expect everything to run like clockwork without doing any maintenance. They are also the first ones to complain when their train is delayed due to faulty equipment.
Railways need maintenance and the sensible time to do it is over a holiday when the railway is at it's quietest and it disrupts the least amount of people. Deal with it or buy a car.
Here is a bird.
