When I see the name AG I think,
"It will be better next week" Or perhaps the following quote from a list of recent questions posed by an FOSBR▸ member : Q) Are we approaching another December rail crisis ?
AG) No!!. |

Andrew's not been the only one to take a very optimistic view of how things would go, of course ... and it's very much his job to put the best positive foot forwards. I note that it's the press office who should be contacted with regard to anything urgent in the "out of office" message.

Andrew Griffiths will shortly be seconded for a period of around 3 months to lead the development of a "dynamic environmental strategy" for FGW▸ , reporting directly to Andrew Haines.
Mike Carroll will stepping in on a part-time basis, with Julian Crow and Richard Rowland also covering Andrew's role of FGW Regional Manager for the Severn & Solent area.

And what exactly is a dynamic environmental strategy?! Well - I hope it means making use of resources to lower the carbon footprint of travel in the areas in which FGW operate their trains - things like getting more people off the roads by providing trains at times that the roads are busy and there are no trains available to offer an alternative  ... seriously, I do hear that the DfT» is going far more along that approach, so we may have a shift towards sanity for some routes! |

It's probably a posh name for some time off... and reporting his holiday to Haines. In reality it's probably a posh name for "network-wide environmental review" though. |

I wish XC▸ would have an environmental review and not leave the Voyager engines running whilst trains lay over at Temple Meads. Apart from the pollution and fossil fuel used, you can barely hear the station announcer the noise is so intrusive.

It's basically as Tom says, to go over what FGW▸ can do to reduce our emissions and be more environmentally friendly.

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
