Anyone used their trains lately?

Their trains used to always break down and you would be left up shit creek.

I'm traveling tomorrow and a bit worried its going to break down somewhere and I'm going to have to buy a new ticket with NXEC.

Is the service any better?

    Most reliable powercars in the country for the last 3 months. They've bedded in very well over the last couple of months and are now running very well. Much more likely to have infrastructure failiure than train problems.

    Which service are you travelling on?

    Should be OK - that runs comes off depot in the morning so all being well should be fine as long as there is no stupid cable theft in the morning - NXEC have been a lot 'friendlier' regarding passing GC passengers as well, especially as GC bailed them out of the shit on more than one occasion recently:

    Has been fine everyday this week including today -

    Yes ;)

    Well it left on time.

    and they got free WiFi, so far I'm impressed, at least if I break down in the middle of nowhere I can at least surf the net :D
