AS a frequent passenger on Arriva Trains, I am sick and tired of these strikes. I travel from Ulleskelf, which at present only has a few stopping trains, and have a monthly ticket. I am fed up with having to pay out to get to work, when it is Arriva who are at fault.

It's time they got themselves sorted out and started running a proper train service. It is bad enough when trains are either late or cancelled. I will be happier when I can travel to work without any hassles.
