00:00I use the train every day. I just come from Paisley, so even if trains are running late,

00:04it tends not to bother me because I just end up getting a different train. The only thing that

00:10does bother me is the prices. Yes, it is expensive, but I think the service that I get is pretty

00:15reliable. No complaints. I was waiting on the train the other day and it didn't show up, so

00:20yeah, that's the whole point of a train service. It's supposed to turn up on time and then you'd

00:24be likely to use it, plus the cost needs to be affordable for everyone and at the moment it's

00:30probably getting too expensive. I have no choice but to stick with the cancellations and the late

00:34runnings and all that. I'm over 50 and I have an over 50s rail card and I used to get a discount

00:41when it was off-peak, so since the off-peak thing has been withdrawn, my price has just about

00:47doubled. Oh really? Yes, it's gone from three pound something to six pound something. I just

00:53make it much more efficient and cheaper. It has gone up quite a bit even with a rail card,

00:58it is still pushing it really.
