Snipped ... here are the headlines. Interesting which still apply nearly quarter of a century later
1. Better communication
2. Common-sense staff
3. Get integrated
4. Quiet carriages
5. On-board CCTV
6. Air-conditioning
7. Litter bins
8. Rapid-response fix-it teams
9. Give passengers preference...
10. These problems are countrywide
