Mr Prosser has a point, but riding seated on 40-year old rolling stock is safer than standing in a vestibule with 20 other people on 5-year old rolling stock. The issue is not so much the age of rolling stock is not the issue; it's that there simply isn't enough of it to offer a meaningful service. The likes of GWR and XC should not be running 5-car trains on long-distance services.
