"common now ?" - I don't recall there ever being a time when UK railways gave a shit about their customers. :)
British Airways however .... now that is an organisation that has fallen from grace. They used to care for customers. But after recent C-suites (Cruz, Walsh etc.) they've turned into a real horror show. Commiting to an over-ambitious schedule just to keep their precious slots at Heathrow, meanwhile everything else gets cost-cut beyond recognition.

- fakedang 2y agoI remember once paying the premium to travel British Airways non-stop from Asia to London. Nowadays I'd rather do the Abu Dhabi/Dubai/Doha layover (at a lower airfare too).
