[James Vertigan]

Hi all,

I'm James and have joined the forums in the last 24 hours.

I've done a bit of searching on here and it is good to see that a fair number of FGW^▸ (First Great Western) staff frequent the site, as I have a few questions in mind I would like to ask, so I will put these in the relevant forums.

Living in Acton, I am a regular user of the Greenford line (I use it to get into work in the city every day - although in the morning I usually catch the earlier trains which originate from Oxford or Reading rather than from Greenford).

I have also done a fair bit of travelling on the line out of London Paddington to Tiverton Parkway, as my parents own a house that used to belong to my grandmother in North Devon, and I may be slightly sad to admit it, but because of that, that is my favourite line - and I get extremely jealous of commuters I see boarding trains that stop at Tiverton when I use Paddington every day but am not using it to get on the train to Tiverton!

As I said, I have a few questions to ask, so will post these separately, and I'm sure I will think of more and be able to contribute some good posts here, I look forward to seeing you around the forum!

Welcome to the forum.

I'm particularly looking forward to reading your observations on the Greenford line.
