As I write this....

First time for me-

And it's mid - Sunday as well!

there's a problem with the network updates!

>:( Knew it was too good to be true! >:(

It's often like that in the middle of the night too  ;D

Rather good at the moment too - showing just one cancellation, Swindon to Gloucester.  Mind you, we're over two years into the franchise, over a year into AH's reign, and the services (at least at my local station) remain less that 50% of what Wessex Trains provided ... so we would need to be seriously worried if FGW was still routinely showing a diagram plastered with cancellations and short running even on current service levels!

It's also slightly disturbing to report that I signed up for FGW's automated Alerting Service several months ago now and so far, have received nothing but the following message each day:

"There are no disruptions reported at this time affecting services between your selected stations, Melksham to Swindon."

- this despite the fact that most mornings the one - inconveniently timed - train that we get in Melksham runs late, and all too often gets cancelled altogether.

Grrr.
