Well done Superwang - may the force be with you.  Zero tolerance is the way !!

Thanks for the contributions.  Perhaps we should rename the 'Faithful City' as 'Greater Bristol' ...
Can't see that any new resources is required, simply not withdrawing what was already there and well-used.  The 23 minutes wait at Gloucester is not quite enough to get from Worcs but not far short.
Just diverting one of the X-Country Notts-Cardiff (7.10 or 7.30 ex-New St) services via Worcs would also help (fat chance !).  I'll see what the official FGW^▸ (First Great Western) response is and then see if the local news are interested. 

Would have thought that the 7.12 from Glos (6.59 ex Cheltenham) catered Ok for that end of the service.   From the Worcester end it is now almost useless for travel to work and there is no local bus operator from Worcs to Cheltenham.  Crazy.  Is Passenger Focus the complaint option these days ?  Not exactly holding my breath.

Am I imagining it or have BOTH morning commuter services from Worcester-Cheltenham been taken off, i.e. 7.36 and 8.36 departures ?   
That leaves services at 6.49 and 9.05, either too early or late for most commuters.  Can't see them in printed timetables or on-line journey planner from any other company.  They have got be kidding
