^ Yep!  I wanted to get to work via Trowbridge today and get the bus from there. Found out the two trains of the morning from Oldfield Park and Bath Spa to Trowbridge were both cancelled AFTER I got to Oldfield Park. I ended up having to make my own way into town and get the same Faresaver bus like normal, which was on time. What a good start! Roll Eyes

I heard there were so many angry commuters at BTM that they closed the information desk. I'm not surprised-- this IS FGW we're talking about! Just absolutely typical Angry

It' on Points West now...'Standing from Worle, People couldn't get on from Yatton onwards' 'Like sardines' and FGW are saying the timetable went ACCORDING TO PLAN!

I noticed, had to get the 1602 from Cheltenham to get to work, had to wait for an already-10 minute late connection. Good first day and whoever said 'went according to plan' should re-consider their words (putting it nicely), delays and cancellations all over the shop like you have put above... good work on all the above by the way  Smiley
