I got a call back a few weeks ago about an email I sent them, as well as an 
email reply, I subsequently sent them another email which has not been 
replied to, either by phone or email...  Perhaps it depends who reads a 
particular email and what kind of mood they're in?

what?  I would have thought that most vandalism would have been done at 
sidings etc, when there was no-one on/watching the train, is there that much 
vandalism done on trains while they're running?

What about all the video cameras and "customer service" people they have on 
the trains now?  At least I would have guessed that they would be able to 
catch people as they are vandalising the trains if they do it then...
