(question) FGWL - Cheltenham Spa?

Hi all,

Just wondering, do FGWL still go to Cheltenham Spa?

I know early this year i was at Swindon waiting for my 2211 to get home to Melksham, sitting in the waiting room kind of a sleep and the announcement came on 'Platform 3 for the .... Frist Great Western Link service to Cheltenham spa..calling at Kemble, stroud, stonehouse, Gloucester and Cheltenham spa'

Thought i heard it wrong till he said First Great Western Link again when the train was pulling in, and was a HST as well.

Do they still run up to Cheltenham spa?

Cheers,
James.

Im sure its only fGW that go 2 Cheltenham Spa. Might have just been a cock-up with the auto announcer. Unlees, of course, they have changed the oporator name to fGWL for the cheltenham runs, as i havent been on the Kemble line for a few months. Though, there really isnt much differance, as its all under First's wing anyway..
