What is it about trains...

[hackbike 666]

It's partly due to privatisation. Late running trains are fined & dependant on what other delays a late running train causes, the costs can be thousands of pounds. The company i work for recently issued an instruction to conductors that doors must be closed 30 secs before departure time & not re-opened for any late coming passengers (unless it's the last service of the day)
So much for customer service

Aye.Same with my company.

I didn't actually remember it during the BR days.

Well, I suppose it was run as a unified service then, rather than competing businesses.

Trains are still the best way to travel though!

Yeah I preferred it under British Rail.Not sure if people would agree with me though.
