The Strand
18 Feb 2011

Andy .. Fronteraman said in a post he enjoys 'winding people up' and is unemployed so you can make of that as you will. I am not going to stoop to his level, Best let them leave Dawlish EXACTLY as it is now...they will all be happy then. Not bothering to look anymore on this subject. Sainsburys has had wonderful publicity!

Torbay Rail Users are aware of all this and representations have already been made, so there will be some changes! If First Great Western cant do it.... South West Trains can!

Well at least they listened .. Labour never did that!

Lynne .. I did not get a reply from MP but I got this from FGW customer services ..its all pretty standard really .. I an still nagging! >>>> We know these trains are not ideal and we would not have leased them at all. Regrettably we were refused permission to retain a number of trains we had on short lease until December 2007. Rolling stock is a major challenge for most train operators as ...
