Quote We will be doing a number of things to celebrate the opening of the Dawlish line and supporting the return of rail services to and from Devon and Cornwall.

Title: Re: Curious web page under "Offers" Post by: stuving on March 24, 2014, 10:10:45 Well, there is a "greater-west" page (http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/About-Us/greater-west) - but it appears to be scored for solo DIY trumpet, and not to contain any kind of "offer".
Title: Re: Curious web page under "Offers" Post by: ChrisB on March 24, 2014, 10:15:18 Oh, that's just gone live - it wasn't there when I posted....
Title: Re: Curious web page under "Offers" Post by: Lee on March 24, 2014, 10:26:24 I notice that it has an "over the next five years" section...
EDIT to separate this topic from others elsewhere, primarily this one (http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=13758.0) and this one.
