Yadda yadda.  >:( ::)

How about some more relevant 'news' for passengers, on the FGW website?

Couldn't give a stuff about who is FGW's latest 'Business Development Manager'.

FGW have failed miserably in recent months (years?) when it comes to the 'News' section of their website and now they post a puff piece for a new appointment who's remit is way away from the day to day, nuts and bolts job of providing a public transport service.

Forgive me, but there is only one response that sums up my feelings about this 'news' item....

@rse.
