Liar liar pants on fire
But as a seasoned commuting professional sitting on the floor can be standard stuff providing you can find enough floor. Then it's sardines and at the next station people shout for you to inhale so more people can squeeze in.
On my current line I pay almost twice as much at peak times rather than off peak so basically being milked for having a job I need to travel to. I have no other option but the cheery robot voice at the end of my journey always thanks me for travelling with London Midland as if I had other alternatives.
Fares go up above inflation my pay goes down.
The insightful LED Matrix while on my journey tells me I can buy my ticket online or via an App for Free!!!! If I want to claim back some of the 4k spent a year on constant delays and cancelled trains I have to fill out a hand written form (black pen only hard enough to make copies) with what I ate for breakfast before the train was cancelled, my cats name if I own one etc etc...... Sent off in the 2nd Class envelope to be assessed by a management team which may reply in 28 days or preferably after I have died waiting for a response.

Jaysus.
Here in Germanland €4k gets me the entire rail network plus public transport in cities. And that's a (semi)public company.
