Fare Strike
« on: January 20, 2007, 03:08:00 PM »

I have it on good authority form a several FGW ticket staff that they have been instructed that revenue colection will be suspensded on Monday morning, certainly between Frome Bath and Bristol, not sure wheteher this extends up to London. So all mecahnical barriers will be left open for the morning.
So please spread the word, support the fare strike, pick up a fare strike ticket at Bath OldfiELD park and KEYNSHAM ON mONDAY MORNING BEWTEEN 7:20 AND 8:30.
More train less strain is now planning its next move which will inclyde a mix of further publicty events and seeeking  ammeting with FGW and First's Directors, and the Minsister for Rail.
What we will be pushing for is a renegotiation of the franchise, to permit FGW to run a proper service and that includes the route through Melksham and Severn Beach Liine.

Thanks for clarifying what you've hear concerning Monday morning / fare collection, Tony.  We remain very much in support of the same objectives - just as you're pushing for all service including the Swindon to Westbury, we're pushing for all services including the Frome to Bristol.  And meetings to push the point with First's upper management, the DfT and other key player will be a huge help.
