Title: Climate Control
Post by: lordgoata on October 23, 2015, 16:43:19
Dear First Great Western Railway,

Just because the weather outside is grey and overcast, does not mean the heating on your trains has to be at 35c. I know there are only two settings, freezing or boiling, but I'd rather be cold and put on my jacket, than be so unbearably hot that I am considering packing my Bermuda shorts for my next commute.

God help us when it actually gets cold....

unfortunately, a lot of customers of the female persuasion prefer a greenhouse to the artic....from complaints I see on twitter.

I always prefer it cold to hot, if it's cold I can put a layer on, if it's hot and I'm only wearing trousers and a shirt I can take anything off.

So do I....but have you ever seen generally-speaking, women carry extra layers?

What about the OP, they could be female.

Ah, so it's women's fault that the train operator can't sort out the heating/cooling issues on their rolling stock.

Some mildly offensive assumptions there I feel.

I prefer it to be cooler rather than hotter on a train.. Just to redress the male/female ratio's opinions  ::)

They're not.

Just how on earth does observing that women rarely carry extra layers lead to me also suggesting that operators can't sort out their heating issues??? Several assumptions on your part there, I believe!
