    Swindon to Gloucester line: More services?

    There are no plans to completely stop Gloucesters London train, it provides the same amount of people or even more comparing with Cheltenham. The only reason the Cheltenham trains would miss Gloucester is if the plan to run a separate service to both Cheltenham and Gloucester occurs.

    Swindon to Gloucester line: More services?

    Yes, but the capacity at Cheltenham means that Network Rail are looking for a solution. Take a read of the Western Study for the “up to 2043 plans” which include extending services to Worcester for the purpose of additional Tewkesbury calls, connections and enabling Swindon to get to Worcester...

    GWR Shortage of Traincrew Weekend and During Week

    I have only ever agreed with the RMT once, about DOO operation not being safe. But in a way they abuse there powers, they criticise everything that a company has decided, over exaggerate consequences and do not give two s**** about the traveling public.

    Wouldn't it be great if Cross-Country took some of the redundant HST's?

    Sit on a brand new nine car then sit on a 6/7 month old five car, there is a difference in softness. (The 800s) Comparing a Voyager to a 800 doesn’t particularly please many as well.

    GWR Class 800

    5 car Cheltenhams turned into 9 cars again. Originally they were going to go on the Cardiff/Swansea rotations and run the five cars here however some muppet decided not. It wasn’t an issue with the nine cars, it’s an issue with the amount of 5 cars in passenger use.

    GWR's recent declining performance?

    The average man take up two seats and yet DfT can’t see that the trains are a significant downgrade to the refurb 158s, and I would go as far as saying the refurb 150s? I don’t get it. It still provides an extra 2 coaches on Cardiff-Ports, 1 coach on other services.
