The aim of Talkloco.co.uk is to give voice to the thousands of commuters who use the rail network on a daily basis. Anyone who travels by train will understand the frustration of dirty carriages, late service, frustrating waits on cold platforms, service interruptions at holiday times, awkward arrivals and departure boards and high ticket prices. Yet how can travellers voice their concerns, annoyance and frustrations... or indeed their pleasure when the service is good?The answer now is www.TalkLoco.co.uk, a website especially for the train commuter. This website is in its infancy, having only gone live at the end of February, but already there is a petition gathering signatures on the concerns over the removal of Departure Information at Kings Cross.
The site accepts petition ideas from visitors and will feed the information this gathers back to the train companies and so commuters will have the chance to get their opinion known where it counts.
TalkLoco also has a forum for registered members to make their opinions known, to organise lift shares and to advertise job vacancies. Registration is free, so what are you waiting for?!
Along with topical articles on trains, travel and commuting, there are quick polls and useful links for journey planning and contact details for every Train Operating Company.
The website utilises a content management system, allowing the site-owner to add pictures and content themselves and also to assign permissions to allow selected registered users to contribute articles if they wish.
