18.30 London to Bristol, does it ever run?
« on: September 25, 2007, 01:16:50 PM »
Although it's not my normal train home and doesn't affect me I have noticed that the one cancellation that seems to come up more than others in the FGW daily e-mails is the 18.30 London to Bristol train. Most days it's resourcing difficulties and yesterday it was a train fault. Haven't bothered to check exactly when it didn't run but it seems quite regularly. Anyone else notice this? Do you think FGW are doing anything about it as it doesn't seem like they have enough staff to man the train and I wonder if yesterday was just a different excuse so they don't have to say they haven't got the crew again.

Cheers

Is it the opposite of the 07:10 Bristol to Paddington?
