I remember one example a few years back when a train failed to show up in Sallins. No announcements and my mother was left stranded. The reason then turned out to be a driver refusing to take a train out with a broken toilet. I guess they don't refuse anymore. So its a stuffed jacks or no train.

Regardless of vandalism, misuse etc. IE have a diabolical record in terms of basic maintenence. There continues to exist, an attitude of "who cares". This starts at the top (management) and works its way down. Despite investment, this attitude prevails. Money will not solve a problem like that.
