Train Air-Con Fault To Continue
« on: July 20, 2006, 10:05:13 AM »
Passengers on First Great Western's smaller trains said the warm weather is turning the carriages into heat traps. They are fitted with air-conditioning units , but many do not work (link below.)

Thats First for you -

Blame someone else (DfT, previous operator, Network Rail amonst others) if its bad news or a problem.

Take the credit themselves if its good news to report.

I assume the aircon problem is on the 158's between Portsmouth and Cardiff where the windows are sealed shut.
At least we can yank open all the windows on the 153's  Smiley
