Is FGW▸ (First Great Western)'s six complimentary tickets offer for renewing my season ticket still active?  Almost a month since I renewed.

I know someone who got them a month ago (because FGW▸ (First Great Western) incorrectly addressed them to my property) and when he opened them they hadn't moved the printed dates on and they expired at the end of 2011. So even if you do get them they may not be much use.

Excellent. Thanks Chris. I wonder how validity might be affected by the change of franchisee in April 13.

I would imagine they will be honoured if the retain, but not if they don't - do state only valid on FGW▸ (First Great Western), so if FGWno longer exist....

I've deleted the 'offending' post to prevent any further issue.  I'm not sure why it was necessary, but don't want to cause any trouble

William Huskisson 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) 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.
