		For any of you unfamiliar with the situation on Merseyrail Electrics, MTL did much the same as Stagecoach did to the Southwest, sacked people and skinned the operation down to a bare minimum, and much of the damage done then isn't yet repaired, either in terms of the railway or the staff.
		Merseyrail won't pay for night working so it was obviously known to them that there'd be a delay in the morning from the state that te works were left in on the Sunday.
		I explained and he said that there was probably only the guard of the train that we had arrived on.

	Councillor lashes out - This Is Wirral
		In response, a spokesperson for Merseyrail Electrics totally refuted Coun Dowd's claims, and said: "The average level of ticketless travel on the system before penalty fares were introduced was 12.13 per cent per month.
		Since the introduction of the penalty fare scheme in February 1999, the average of ticketless travel per month is down to 10.55 per cent, so there has been a reduction.
		It's not as much as Merseyrail would like, but the system is working and passengers are aware it is their responsibility to purchase a correct ticket before they travel on the Merseyrail system."
