Overcrowding Monday, 19 September 2011 One of our pressing issues that we need resolving is that of the overcrowding on trains. There is legislation for overcrowding on Buses, in cars and other forms of transport. These are mainly for safety reasons so why not on trains. Do we need to wait for a serious accident before this issue is taken on board? One of the reasons for getting overcrowding on trains is the lack of rolling stock available to take these extra passengers.The other is the lack of finance to provide the extra rolling stock even though year on year we are told that increased fares means increased capacity and investment. It appears that the investment is used to enhance the most profitable parts of the companies network and rural lines are often let down. We are putting our views to the Select Committee in the House of Commons and others, so we would like your views and experiences.
