Title: Overcrowding en route to St Austell beer festival Post by: TaplowGreen on November 29, 2015, 09:49:16 http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/Plymouth-beer-festival-passengers-ask-crammed/story-28259256-detail/story.html
.........I'm sure any discomfort was quickly forgotten on arrival at the destination!!!

Similarly on the way back at 1743 (also a 2-car 150) it was standing room only for yours truly. A passenger had a lucky escape shortly before our return train - he was on the down platform and over-indulgence sent him tumbling onto the tracks - thankfully the BTP hauled him back up before any trains approached. Extra carriages will be warmly welcomed as and when they arrive!

They felt his collar, so to speak? :P ::) ;D This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
