Outdated trains that are usually late.
Get delayed now and then but to be fair often it's not the train operators' fault.

Have spent much better journeys on Russian trains (sleepers and Sapsan), and quite a few other European networks.
I'd rank them;
1) Virgin Trains- very good
2) Cross Country Trains- good
3) London Midland (to London) Good
4) London Midland City (Okay)

I travelled on a Southeastern High Speed Javelin yesterday. It was bliss. Modern, comfortable, fast. That is how trains should be.
eta. PS to MSE Andrea - sometimes delays are the fault of the TOC, sometimes they are the fault of over-running but necessary NR engineering work; and sometimes they are caused by stupid members of the public (but NR take the penalty for those).

I have yet to go a day in July where I have not been delayed.
