However - the train we've got to compare these services with (the

Good point. If the railway cared about attracting passengers, rather
than merely satisfying some impractical Gov'mint diktat, it would pay
attention to the things that it did better than the competing modes.

I think the //railway// probably does, but there's not a lot of scope
for cascades in the current system and not much stock available at
the low end of the scale.

I was distinctly dubious about the prospect of the Milford Haven
- Manchester Piccadilly train (or, for that matter, the Manchester-
Piccadilly-Pembroke Dock) trains both consisting of a single Dogbox,
as was tha case last friday (it was the same the previous time
I was down that way, in January, so it looks like Dogboxen
are the order of the day).
