Greetings RailUK Forums community. This is the Digital Engagement Team at the House of Commons. We work to engage online audiences with the work happening in the House of Commons, and wanted to let you know about an upcoming debate:

On Tuesday, Stephen Doughty MP (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) will be leading a debate in Westminster Hall on the performance of the Great Western Railway network. We are gathering the views and experiences of the public which we'll pass onto Stephen to help him inform his speech and remarks.

Specifically, we'd like to know:

How would you rate your experience of using GWR (Great Western Railway)?
Have you experienced delays or other performance issues on GWR trains? How have these affected you?

Tell us your thoughts and experiences on this thread for your chance to feed into the debate.

We are also running the thread on Facebook if you’d prefer to submit your comments here. Do send the link on to anyone you know who isn't a member of the RailUK Forum and would be interested in taking part.

Please submit your responses by midday on Monday 4 February for your chance to be included.
- - - - - - - - - - -
Your username, and any information or opinions you provide, may be shared with Stephen Doughty MP and used in a parliamentary debate which will be on the record and available on Parliament TV (Thames Valley) and Hansard. Please ensure that you are happy with your comment before sharing.


I have posted a reply and messaged the OP (Original Poster / topic starter) of that post, the House of Commons Digital Engagement Team, pointing them to this forum too, as we are more GWR 'centric'. I think it'd be useful for Stephen Doughty's debate if opinion were also gathered from here.

Rather than post responses for the debate here, the House of Commons Digital Engagement Team have joined this forum and started a topic requesting input.

See: http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=21004.0

Mods: I think this thread can be locked to avoid cross-pollination.
