He also says the Government is being lobbied for the green light to run four carriages on the Cardiff to Portsmouth line rather than two , and calls for extra carriages on the Bristol - Weymouth line.

He is worried the 12 extra trains that were supplied by First Great Western this year to ease overcrowding could end up moving to a northern operator at the end of the year.

He said: "The Government wants to relocate these trains to Northern Rail. Our biggest fear is that by Christmas, these trains will go North."

A spokesman for First Great Western said: "Obviously, some commuter services are full but that is how it is in many cities. Our 2007/8 service is under review and that might involve an increase in capacity."
