Title: Hello from a South Walian Post by: IanC on April 06, 2009, 18:46:01 I thought I'd introduce myself here. I've been using the trains (and buses) for more or less 4 years since I decided not to use the Car anymore, and mainly use ATW services to get into Cardiff. Of the times I've used FGW trains I have found them pleasant and have only on the one occasion have had to stand up (I rarely use peak time trains which may have helped) Are there any other Welshmen/women 'on board'?

Another one here. Cardiff born and bred, though exiled to Nailsea and Backwell for many years now.

and hi to everyone else of course. Patrick here from Swansea, although sent to Ireland some time back - will return soon I am sure of it. Still a regular user of FGW HST from Swansea to Paddington whenever I am back - don't like flying much and prefer to spend the few hours looking out the window. Also spent many happy hours down at Swansea station as a child watching the HSTs arriving and departing. Still love the noise from the old days. Anyway great to be here and hope to contribute when I have something useful to say. best wishes Patrick Title: Re: Hello from a South Walian Post by: Chris from Nailsea on April 09, 2009, 20:44:12 Hi, Patrick from Swansea - and a very warm welcome to the Coffee Shop forum! ;)
