1  All across the Great Western territory / Your rights and redress / Re: Were YOU caught up in the flooding. on: December 04, 2007, 13:48:38
Sorry - are FGW (First Great Western) still working their way through this flooding compensation? - I still haven't got any response from them on this, and its now December!
2  All across the Great Western territory / Across the West / Re: Compensation For The Recent Flooding Disruption - An Inside View on: October 17, 2007, 16:47:48
Still waiting for my compensation for the Great Deluge of 20th July....and its now 17th Oct....I hope they've invested the amount, and are building up a nice investment bounty to hand over to me.  Cry

And I was one of the lucky people to be sat on a train, and be handed an A4 letter telling me about this compensation thing.

Has everyone else been sorted?....maybe they're working their way through, alphabetically....
3  All across the Great Western territory / Your rights and redress / Re: Were YOU caught up in the flooding. on: September 18, 2007, 13:45:28
OK - so who got a reply to their claim for compensation?
Am I being a bit hasty, waiting for just under 2 months? - perhaps I am.
I'll give them another couple of months.  Cry
4  Journey by Journey / London to Swindon and Bristol / Re: Paddington Surge on: August 16, 2007, 14:07:49
LOL (laughing out loud) - yes.
And I've been caught out many a time.
I queue up at the other end of the platforms, the Hammersmith/City tube line end.

I'll be stood there, with the rest of the waiting posse, in pre-surge stance.
I'll look away, either down at the trains, or at my watch or something, and when I look back, the surge is already in progress....and they're all walking, but I never quite know which platform they're surging to, so I stand, and wait, and watch gormlessly at the departure boards, waiting for it to cycle back onto page 1 so that I can see what platform I should start surging myself towards.
 Cry
5  All across the Great Western territory / Your rights and redress / Re: Medical concern over new seating on: May 03, 2007, 21:19:32
I agree with Liam. I think the space you have in front of your knees is greater in the new refreshed HSTs (High Speed Train), but because of the height of the seat, I'm not sure you can swing your legs as far underneath the seat in front of you.

They're certainly less snooze-friendly though. I fell asleep in one (after a night out in London Town) and woke up with my neck in a vice-like frozen state.
