This is a link to an amazing English SNCF▸ (Societe Nationale des Chemins de fer Francais - French National Railways) web site:

Can FGW▸ (First Great Western) have one please?

Yes, as a passenger, I'm constantly disappointed that the FGW website remains stuck in a rut, so to speak - not particularly easy to navigate, information not kept up to date, not interactive, not offering a 'contact me' feature ...

I think FGW really do need to invest in an upgrade of their website - particularly as, with reductions in customer-facing staff, their website becomes the only way many passengers can find out about FGW services.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Current FGW website will be three years old on April 1st so is well overdue for a refresh. Generally its good to refresh your site every 1 1/2-2 years. Would be great if Ollie could get his hands on it and sort it out though I would imagine the website is not overly high up on the agenda for FGW especially if cutbacks are starting to happen.

Chiltern Railways have a very good, award winning website.

This is another official Indian Railways site which is faster for train information and checking availability than www.indianrail.gov.in, and it also links directly into the e-booking facility:
