I mde my first visit to the new website last night. The cookies have changed, it didn't recognise me and I had to struggle through several passwords before I got the right one. Credit and Nectar card details were remembered, though.

It renders awfully on a mobile or tablet, with either a huge immovable menu overlay that blocks the whole screen or you get a corrupt script warning, depending on the browser.

It was "Great Western Railway" in the announcements while I was waiting at Cheltenham on Sunday but "First Great Western" connections mentioned on the train at Newport and Temple Meads. But then, it was a XC▸ train!

I was at GCR» on sunday. The train manager (Sonya) told people of for hanging out of the windows. But I didn't hang out. She was grumpy. Not like the nice train manager on the way back though (Mr. Tall and long beard (un-identified)) he was nice!

Much unlike the TM‡ on the 1424 BTH» to BRI» , who announced that we were "arriving at sunny Bristol Temple Meads!" with a real exclamation mark and a delivery reminiscent of Alan Freeman. He encouraged us to make sure we had all our beleongings "because of all the annoyance that can cause", and reminded us "Whatever you do, keep those sunglasses on! I hope to see you again soon on a Great Western Railway service". It was better than it sounds from my attempt at recollection. Bit cheesey in parts, but full marks for the individual touch. |

Yes I have travelled with him - he got more into hyperbole talking about the stops beyond Bristol on the way to Paignton but then announced that he was, sadly, leaving the service at Bristol and so wouldn't be able to join us on the beach.

The sort of personal touch that's nice to hear on an occasional basis, but travel with him every day and you'd end up wanting to throttle him! |

True - there was one TM‡ who often worked the 07:30 from Paddington when it was the Merchant Venturer and he insisted on calling it the Merchant Ven-turer.
