Part A: Paying a fiver to upgrade on FGWL is not worth it, unless you like dust. Josh gave the seat a bang (FC) & we all started choking - dust - lots off it. FGWL, HOOVER THE TRAINS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
Part B: Well, to sum up this post, I was supposed to be home at 2100, I am home at 2300. Why you ask? FGW
Well, where shall I start. A 5 coach 180 on the 1900 FGW to Bristol, which, was supposed to be hosting me, got on, nice seat (until it got full) 1900 turns "Ladies & Gents, due to this train Failing, this service is cancelled. please board the 1930 BTM service if you need to make a journey further than Swindon. If not, get the 1915 Swansea train"
Well, there you are, how unrealible, a 5 Coach train, on a 8 coach route, broke.
So, we jump on the 1930 BTM HST (due to Bath at 2104#) Full, standing EVEN laid down in the Coach E!!!!!! We leave bang on time, but, by the time we get to Hanwell, all goes wrong, there is a TCF ahead of us. The guard makes a few announcments, & all together keeps us up too date. When we get moving, he makes a reusing anouncment, along the lines of "We will be stopping & starting for the next 2 signals, as we need to phone the signallman, incase we see any other track defects" Does this mean FGW ran a train over potentioally broke track?!? This caused a LOT of panic amongst some customers, infact, one got very worried....
I would say even more, but can't be bothered :glasses1:
