I tried to book using this site today. For some reason it looked awful and most buttons were barely invisible. I got to a point where I couldn't go any further. So I called the number given, got put into a call centre menu, then a queue and thought, life's too short to go on any further.

Was it just me, or is there something wrong with their booking site?

Or something wrong with your fingers John.  Wink

I used the site last week and didn't have any problems, hats off to FGW (First Great Western) for that one. Perhaps it's been so popular people have worn the web page away.  Cheesy
