The fact that this is #730 shows that it is a subject worth discussing and I'd suggest there is a general consensus that the current situation on the West of England main line is unacceptable, but a less general feeling that anything can or, more importantly will, be done. With a General Election on the horizon, possibly comparatively soon, if anything is to be done then this is the time for it to start. The Cornish Tory MPs in particular are all too aware that most of their seats are susceptible, even if as a bunch they have all the clout of Mr Bean, but they can be got squirming at least, always pleasureable to the eye.
