General Notes:
Latenesses never over 3 or 4 minutes. In general, cleanliness of the trains was better on c2c, LO and the Circle Line train, the interiors and exteriors are all cleaner for white painted trains. Upminster Railway Station could to with an update, but certainly no worse than AGA managed railway stations. Platform 6 which is only used for AGA trains between Upminster and Romford still has some old One signage (been NXEA and AGA since).
