It wouldn't surprise me one bit.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit. Or 4th June. Virtually every week, there is a disaster day on this route for one reason, or another Interesting that BBC Wales are able to put together a 30 minute programme on the state of of this route, but BBC West has not shown much interest.

But reasonably accurate, which is not surprising given it was Christian Wolmar. I wonder whether he will be excessed for buying a standard class ticket, but after Reading the rest of the journey appeared to be in First Class?
Not really much to do with Wales - I would suggest West of England viewers would have found the program just as interesting.

Not really much to do with Wales - I would suggest West of England viewers would have found the program just as interesting. I agree. However it was still well worth watching IMO. It was also nice to see them mention other services apart from the London to Cardiff e.g. CDF-PMH.
