EMR Avis 

This company needs to back to the government ASAP. I think this is the only hope left.

Trains cancelled on a daily basis where announces from the staff are not true.

On peak time providing a 4 carriage train only with no working toilets.

The yearly price reaching £10k + and the services is most likely one of the worst in the country.

Worst service no charging point inside the train and they fine unnecessarily sorry to say thsts y the loss of the train happened

I used to take the trains between Market Harborough and London St Pancras most weekends and eventually stopped as it became unbearably unreliable. I literally counted a failure rate if 30% over 40 trains, 3 of which were completely cancelled due to "more trains having faults than usual" and the other 9 trains were delayed. Not to mention these trains are terribly expensive (£60+ with a railcard every week is a killer). I now travel to Rugby to avoid EMR and take a taxi to my parent's home between the 2 towns. More reliable and cheaper, can't believe I didn't ditch EMR sooner

Dreadful company. Appalling delays. Some of the slowest trains in the UK. Incompetent and lazy staff. Poor communication. A train company thats not fit for purpose. Why the locals put up with it is beyond me.

I don't know why this company bothers to publish a timetable as they seem utterly unable to stick to any published times. Trains are constantly cancelled, delayed for whatever reason they can think up. Woeful.

Delayed but worst of all, as usual the train was filthy, old and the WiFi is basically non existent. Its really poor considering how much train tickets are. I tend to avoid EMR where I can but today after a few years of not using them I see NOTHING has changed. Please atleast clean/modernise your carriages.

what went wrong me & my partner went from peterborough to Loughborough for day out on the grand central railway as we got to leicester the problems started at leicester the train to loughborough was delyed and the train broke down we had to run to another platform to get another train to Loughborough i didnt find the staff on the platform very helpfull when trying to ask for help on the way back from loughborough train was cancelled half an hour due to a broken down train at bedford as we had to catch a connection to peterborough which we missed because of the cancelled train we had two get another train which was a two car dmu unit that was overcrowded there was no seats we had to stand to leciester again at leicester we asked a member of staff to which platform to peterborough she told us to wait until she dispatched train which was already gone i found her not to be very helpfull when asking for information and there was also another women staff member they way she spoke to us we both have learning difficulties i am very disappointed the way we were spoken too i remember when younger when all the trains were british rail there staff were friendly and helpfull

Without a doubt the worst train company!! Trains are often late or cancelled, trains are tired and dirty, you get better in a third world country… I’m am now an expert in their Delay Repay and at the extortionate prices they charge I claim every single penny owed

EMR is broken. As a regular business userb I can no longer rely on this essential service from my Home to London. Cancelled trains, delays, limited service, lack of seats etc along with ridiculous over pricing make this journey impossible. The MD and the board need to step aside and let someone with half a brain and competency manage.

Service is consistently unacceptable. The trains are regularly late, overcrowded, and uncomfortable, yet the fares remain ridiculously expensive. Passengers are being charged premium prices for a service that is unreliable and poorly managed.

Delays have become the norm rather than the exception, and there is often not enough space for people to sit or even stand comfortably. EMR needs to stop making excuses and start delivering the level of service passengers are paying for. At present, the cost simply does not match the quality, reliability, or overall experience.
And ro consider the amount of unhappy passengers, but its just another day at the office for EMR!! How much more?

Never caught train without major problems,going from Nottingham to reading change at Birmingham,last 2 times horrendous I am 72 and have disability card so had seat reserved on Birmingham to reading train but couldn't get down through train to my seat and chap stood with had same problem so stood near door for 40min couldn't even turn round and no way could ticket man or drinks man get through and very very hot every carridge full of people standing surely this can't be safe way to travel don't know how they get away with it

I commute daily to London and I honestly cannot remember the last time I got an EMR train that wasn't delayed or cancelled. For the huge cost of their service, the service is despicable. Everyday there seems to be signal issues, 4 carriages instead of 8, drivers haven't turned up, just to name a few of the excuses.

EMR is a shambles.

Awful service - I’ve been commuting for a few years now and previously would see occasional delays but it’s now most nights, makes it incredibly hard to get to and from work.

The ticket prices are incredibly high and there doesn’t appear to be any effort to improve the service

Been left at a station until half 10 at night with no rail replacements or notice of what’s going on. Been deleted for train repairs at least once a week. Honestly guys just buy some new trains or give the contract up to a company that can actually deliver the service. I notice you’re refurbishing some trains but they’re ancient and I can smell fumes in the cabin. Noisier that a steam locomotive. Give it up. Your shit

Derby to St.Pancras yesterday. Cattle truck , people sitting on the floor, carriages stuffed with standing passengers. Two trains cancelled for our return journey. Apparently only five carriages instead of the usual amount. Get some more able engines if they can't pull the carriages required. Shameful. Elderly passenger.

Used the travel assist for the first time, travelling from Corby through St Pancras. It was so efficient - kind lady at Corby put us aboard and two cheerful chaps, Craig and Wayne, met us and took us round St. P. - felt as if we were on a tour! Will def use again. Thank you all!

Absolutely dreadful service. Trains are constantly being cancelled or delayed for what seem like made-up excuses. Honestly, it's time to step aside and let another company take over. Enough is enough – stop making passengers suffer.

32 degrees outside no air conditioning at all small children crying parents far from happy. Refusing to open a window absaloutly ridiculous behaviour the heat in this train is registering 41 degrees its absaloutly obscene. These trains should not be in service at any time its a absaloute s£#t show disgusting unclean filthy service.

Don’t bother, absolutely incompetent. Everything’s either delayed or cancelled. I will NEVER, EVER use them again. Cheaper, more comfortable and more reliable to drive.
