170518, XC 14.22 Birmingham New Street-Stansted Airport (1L44), Leicester station 
 The 14.22 Birmingham New Street to Stanstead Airport CrossCountry train arrives at Leicester station. The train was already full and standing when it arrived with many passengers waiting to board on the platforms that made for an uncomfortable travelling experience. I am not at all sure why TOCs, such as XC, can get away with providing such wholly inadequate trains on routes such as this but it just goes to reinforce what a broken model of privatisation that we have to endure on what is essentially a public service.
