It may give FGW ideas! ;D I'm quite happy to simply point out that with traffic at 2006 levels and frequency on the line, there would be ten passengers standing for every one who managed to get a seat - and that's assuming Driver Only Operation. But to be honest I'm rather worried about how safe it would be to stand on this. Title: Re: What FGW needs for Melksham possibly!!
