I think those of your readers who have to travel to London every day will agree that the time has come for the LMS to say if there is any hope of reasonable travelling for unfortunates living north of Watford. The time-keeping is deplorable and is getting worse, and we have steadily increasing overcrowding.
We realise there is a war on, if only because the LMS offcials tell us this so often.
But we would like the company to know that we are far from content with the present state of affairs. The only method of airing his grievances against huge corporations open to the ordinary citizen seems to be to write to his local paper.
Yours faithfully, “Boxmoor”
