00:00Well, the price to go to London, it's ridiculous, you know, it's ridiculous, train fares.
00:06I've only got a bus pass, if it didn't have a bus pass I wouldn't come on the buses even
00:09because they're too expensive.
00:10You need to bring prices down, people can't afford it, you know, it's odd nowadays, never
00:15mind paying a fortune for trains, you know, I don't think they're always reliable either.
00:20Rail travel doesn't really affect myself, but, you know, generally speaking, I don't
00:25think people are getting their money's worth out of the railways anyway, you know, it's
00:29really poor, you know, if you have to rely on that for getting to work, for getting generally
00:34out and about, you know, you need the reliability.
00:37People will definitely struggle, because it will affect the rail sector and to be expensive
00:43for now, so there's nothing I can say for now.
00:47I think they said they've increased the minimum wage, so maybe, but plus or minus, definitely
00:55you might want to leave, you'll definitely complain, but you don't have any option, so
00:58just keep cracking.
