don’t seem to care very much about their trains, so filthy on the outside, has the train cleaner broken or can they not be arsed to clean them.

Difficult to have pride in your trains when they look like they’ve just popped out of the sewer 😬

@jamesjefferies My theory is that they don’t want to use the “car wash” in winter what with frost and all. There are more railways that have filthy trains during the cold season.

@partim maybe, still, they look terrible - and this one has some diesel fume ingress into the carriage on idle, bleurgh - roll on the new trains

@jamesjefferies I reckon they’ve given up on their maintenance knowing that they’ll soon have a new fleet of IETs.

It’s a terrible look, though. EMT’s performance and presentation has done its brand a lot of damage, in my eyes, at least.

@katiefenn agreed, and management might be off in the next few years anyway - a poor show..

I’m still grumpy about everything being 5 car sets too 🤬

@jamesjefferies Oh god, yeah. It’s pathetic. It’s managed decline by any other name.
