"FGW has been given plenty of time to improve but my constituents are still suffering from a third-rate train service. "I think the time has come for ministers who are responsible for the contract to consider pulling the plug." He will meet FGW chief executive Andrew Haines at a meeting of the West Wilts Rail Users' Group in Trowbridge next Thursday, and again in London on Tuesday, February 19.
