Summit On Rail Service 'Disaster'
« on: January 08, 2007, 06:42:05 PM »

An Oxfordshire MP has organised a meeting to sort out what he says are disastrous changes to the railway timetable in the Thames valley (link below.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/berkshire/6241995.stm

Ed Vaizey , MP for Didcot , has invited politicians and representatives from First Great Western to attend a rail summit this week.

"If commuters could have their say, I think they would vote for a return to the old timetable like a shot."

"It may not have been perfect, but it was miles better than what we have got now".

"We need to give commuters hope - many have switched already to coach and car. They deserve much better", he said.

Adrian Luck , of FGW confirmed Alison Forster was due to speak to Mr Vaizey later in the week.

He told BBC News: "We have had a lot of customer feedback about the new timetable and as a result of that feedback we have conducted a small-scale review of certain issues that have been brought to our attention."

"We will be announcing some further changes to the timetable as a result of this review in the very near future."
