Tuesday 6th January

Chaos this morning due to a loss of power and signalling problems between Bath and Bristol.

The only information available at Oldfield Park(because the station is unmanned in contravention of FGW's franchise commitments) was that from the automated information system. This very helpfully told you that "no trains were scheduled to depart from this station in the next 99 minutes".

I gave up and got the bus. Single to Temple Meads was £4.60 by the way.

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"
