The regulator should send secret inspectors and fine companies with the equivalent to a quarter of their profits or after several warnings, cancel the contract with that company\r\n\r\n- The trains should have a machine where you validate your ticket when you get into the train and at your final station. If your train has been delayed (rules should be established depending on the length of the journey), you could claim your money back. That would stop the constant \"apologies\" from the companies and they would have finally to improve their services. Rules for rail works should be also established to reduce the ticket price for your journey.
