Commuter says she regularly forks out £50 for taxis A DAY amid chaos on the railways
A train commuter has revealed she's regularly forced to shell out up to £50 in taxis to get to and from work in Manchester because of the state of the north's railways.
He said: "The trains are so unreliable that I might not have been able to get there - and it was probably a good call." "But I would say I'm regularly stuck in Warrington for a good hour or so or I have to get a taxi. It's about £30 to £40 depending on what time of day it is. It can be up to £50. It can be really, really expensive.
Mr Driscoll said many people were missing their trains - and schoolchildren were standing on 'cold, dark platforms for hours at a time'. He said: "The infrastructure is Victorian. The signalling is the old-fashioned semaphore you will see from black and white movies. No one knows where the trains are. There is a bus replacement service at the moment and they haven't got drivers, so it doesn't turn up.
"The Secretary of State is the person who can step in and has a fresh opportunity to help solve the problem and that’s exactly what we’ll be telling him today."

Phase IIb Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Escalating, Double-Blind Study of Cannabidiol Oil for the Relief of Symptoms in Advanced Cancer (MedCan1-CBD) | Journal of Clinical OncologyPURPOSE To determine whether cannabidiol (CBD) oil can improve symptom distress in patients with advanced cancer receiving palliative care. METHODS Participants were adults with advanced cancer and symptom distress (Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale [ESAS] total score of ≥ 10/90) who received titrated CBD oil 100 mg/mL, 0.5 mL once daily to 2 mL three times a day, or matched placebo for 28 days. The primary outcome was ESAS total symptom distress score (TSDS) at day 14. Response was defined as a decrease in TSDS by ≥ 6 at day 14. Secondary outcomes were ESAS TSDS over time, individual symptom scores, patient-determined effective dose, opioid use, Global Impression of Change, depression, anxiety, quality of life, and adverse events. RESULTS Of the 144 patients randomly assigned, the planned sample size of 58 participants on CBD and 63 on placebo reached the primary analysis point (day 14). The unadjusted change in TSDS from baseline to day 14 was –6.2 (standard deviation, 14.5) for placebo and –3.0 (standard deviation, 15.2) for CBD with no significant difference between arms (P=.24). Similarly, there was no detected difference in proportion of responders (placebo: 37 of 63 [58.7%], CBD: 26 of 58 [44.8%], P=.13). All components of ESAS improved (fell) over time with no difference between arms. The median dose of participant-selected CBD was 400 mg per day with no correlation with opioid dose. There was no detectable effect of CBD on quality of life, depression, or anxiety. Adverse events did not differ significantly between arms apart from dyspnea that was more common with CBD. Most participants reported feeling better or much better at days 14 (53% CBD and 65% placebo) and 28 (70% CBD and 64% placebo). CONCLUSION CBD oil did not add value to the reduction in symptom distress provided by specialist palliative care alone.
