most of the complaints came from passengers here on this busy greater manchester to blackpool route,160 trains injune to try and believe that chaos. today they say that 99% of those are back. passengers in preston are very happy to hear that today. they are also happy to hear that the government is launching a review of the entire rail industry. robert nisbet is the regional director for the rail delivery group. we are also welcoming the other announcement of a government review, a root and branch review, that we hope will look at all of those elements but the customer at its heart. all that has got to be fully customer. we have to be delivering the best possible service for the passenger. and after the may timetable, clearly that didn't happen, and we have got to work out why and stop it from happening again. so hopefully changes on the way and changes being announced by northern today as well, because today's report says that company did not keep passengers in the loop when there was timetabling chaos. what the company is telling us chaos. what the company is telling us today in a
