19th December

0731 was formed of 2 carriages again instead of 4, due to "an earlier train fault".

This was the service that provoked so much anger last December/January because of overcrowding and if it continues to be shortformed in the New Year then there will be a return to the angry scences of last December and January.

14th December

More delays this morning....

More Train Less Strain are holding a brainstorming and planning meeting Saturday 15th December at the am Green Park brasserie.

Tony Ambrose says

"See you in Green Park station this Saturday at 10:30
Momentum is fast building for us to do something, and FGW is very vulnerable at the moment as anyone will know who currently takes their trains. They are under a lot of pressure from the media and 14 MPs have moved an emergency motion that they have the franchise removed and the FGW trains are taken into national ownership"
