Simon Carpenter, from the group More Train , Less Strain , said: "I think we're looking at another protest." (link below.) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/wiltshire/7141755.stm"That seems to be the only way First Great Western actually listens to us." "Not only have we had problems with the timetable changes, we've still got the overcrowded trains and we're not looking forward to a fare rise in the new year." FGW▸ admitted there were problems but claimed services would improve over the coming days. |

can't wait for MTLS▸ to complain about them being treated unfairly when they all get a nice hefty fine for everyone who does it... i'm sure First would like a spare ^2million (2,000 x the max enforceable fine, which i believe is ^1,000?) to offset some refurb costs, or even hire some more units  |

I have a feeling that MTLS▸ will try something different this time if they decide to do something in protest.

Why not send junk mail to the DafT afterall, the control who gets what trains.
A petty protest like this won't do anything.

Yawn yawn zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............i know its been stated fares going up to ^6.60per day, but how much would you pay for a weekly return? bet it would be a considerable saving. and what is the comparable cost of bus /car/ taxi.......work this lot out and i expect the train would be competitive |

Prosecutions you mean! A penalty fare will only be issued if there is no fraud suspected, a bit like a police on the spot fine for drinking etc, to produce a fake ticket is blaitent fraud with the intent to obtain a service by deception (false ticket!) |
