    Gold Record Card not issued – anyone else had this issue with GWR?

    Several years ago I bought a gold card eligible season ticket from the GWR website but it wasn't printer on gold card stock. An email to gwr.websupport@gwr.com resulted in them posting me a gold record card. No idea if the email still works but might be worth a try.

How you travelled after the PF was issued is in my opinion moot as I believe the PF gave...

    Avanti sat 9th cancellations

    I don't believe it's any worse than some recent Saturday's, this thread claims over seventy cancellations in a day and a more recent Saturday had 40+ cancellations (including the last two Manchester to London services). Leave and sickness are insignificant compared to the lack of rest day work...
