The mistake has been on the website for some time. You'd think someone at FGW▸ Towers would spot it and correct.

Would anyone care to provide a translation of the following extract from FGW▸ Disruptions:
19:48 London Paddington to Cheltenham Spa due 22:03

Surely 'this train has been cancelled' would have been much easier! Or am I missing something?

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.

So, if the driver forgot to stop at Maidenhead, from the Maidenhead passenger's point of view it didn't stop anywhere.

If that was true they would still be on the train I meant the passengers planning to join the train at Maidenhead  Presumably those getting on at Paddington for Maidenhead got off at Reading to come back. I hope they weren't charged an excess fare! |
