You're absolutely right to point out the frustrations and we're working hard to remove bureaucracy through our Putting Passengers First programme. This is providing lots of opportunity for devolved decision making. Please do chat to your line manager or through our Putting Passengers First Yammer group for any suggestions you think could help us to continually improve. Thanks again for your comments.
