Title: Whoops! Where did that railway line come from? Post by: Lee on June 18, 2007, 13:10:28 Commuters were delighted when First Great Western issued a leaflet advertising a new service linking two towns in Cornwall (link below.)
http://www.rmtbristol.org.uk/2007/06/whoops_where_did_that_railway.html#more First Great Western sent out the map showing a direct line between Falmouth and Redruth - a development that would help to ease travel problems in Cornwall. There was only one problem - the line does not exist. Bosses noticed the mistake only after customers began enquiring when the new service would start. Title: Re: Whoops!

Post by: Timmer on June 19, 2007, 17:22:19 Some heads at FGW really do need a good bashing especially in their publicity department who no longer publish the very useful weekend timetable alteration booklets anymore and just have a endless useless list of engineering works listed on the website with no details of amended services, whats the point?
