Musical warmth after audience braves elements

One-man rail pressure group still awaits reply
RAIL user Mr Ross Williams, of Wiswell, is keep ing up the pressure with his complaints about the
service. As we reported last week, he keeps writing to North
Western Trains with details of late running and station problems - but so far no one has replied to his requests for
specific reasons for them. The company keeps repeating that there are many fac
tors, some outside its control, which affect the service. This point is again made in a letter from the customer
relations department, which also reveals that all 304 of the company's stations will soon be fitted with a new customer
information system. It will ensure, promises the letter, that customers are
kept fully informed about the running of trains. There will also be a "help point" facility which will enable conversa
tion with head office. But Mr Williams says that letter to him does not say to
the points he has raised.
which letter of his it is replying to. He has again asked the managing director of North Western Trains to deal with

There was a feeling that people in areas such as Clitheroe turned out in great numbers because they were very much a community.
