From the More Train , Less Strain website : MINISTER REFUSES TO MEET MTLS. Tom Harris has refused to meet with us, though Don Foster MP is willing to make a second approach to him to request a meeting on ouir behalf if we can provide him with a dossier showing that FGW still isn't working. We want to make sure that our dossier is not a dodgy one, unlike the one used by the government to start the IRAQ war. To help us compile the dossier we need YOU to post your bad experiences on the forum now ( http://forum.moretrainlessstrain.co.uk/)

I'm not entirely surprised - more "smoke and mirrors" stuff. I was hearing that train lengths are already slipping back, and that Wessex badged trains have been photographed as far away as Edinburgh!

Alison Forster is now to meet with MTLS at Swindon on 13th March. Tom Stables , FGW Commercial Director will also attend.
An email just received from Alison confirms that "our current review is continuing and we will consider making further changes, over the next few months" and "In addition we will be making a bid for further revisions to the December 2007 timetable". An announcement as soon as possible is promised. I note that short term changes are CONSIDERED, but December revisions - a more definite we WILL be making a bid. I understand that another of the MPs from our neck of the woods will be seeing Mr Harris (or perhaps did so in the last few days). I was alerted to this by the MP (personally, face to face) and believe that the TransWilts case is being constructively raised. Other meetings going on too behind the floodlights. Finally, there will be a director of FGW (probably Alison Forster) at an event that which "Save the Train" will be attending at the start of March. Possible chances to make a quick pitch and get a quick update.
