Title: Hurrah! Friends to rant with!
Post by: ihatefgw on February 07, 2007, 10:15:57
Hello
I'm Helen from Pangbourne. You may know me from such blogs as www.ihatefirstgreatwestern.blogspot.com. It's so nice to have somewhere to come and share our FGW experiences, so I'll be a regular visitor here.
I'm currently trying to agree a slogan for my protest badges, so if you'd be kind enough to give my latest blog post a quick read, I'd be very grateful for your feedback. I need to get it right, or I'll have 100s of badges on my hands, and no willing wearers.
I'm also interested to hear about other people's protest plans. We in Pangbourne are still no better off following the December timetable changes, but there is a good petition going, and our MP is on board, so we're hopeful that things may soon get better. Anyway, enough about me, how are you?

Hi, Helen  ... DELIGHTED to have you here / on board.   Although the lines we use have different characteristics and that leads to different problems, some of the undelying politics and causes are teh same.  And the key players are familair too.

Can you do me a huge favour ... can you put up some intro posts relating to the commute from  stations Tilehurst to Oxford inclusive towatds London and encourage your friends / colleagues / further commuters to do so?   You're very welcome to use that area to exchange storiesd, co-ordinate publicity and inputs to FGW etc - that's what the board is for!

Title: Calling all those who join at, or pass through Twyford
Post by: ihatefgw on October 23, 2007, 12:33:11

Hello
I'm appealing for people who experience terrible congestion at Twyford to take part in a television programme - more details available on request. You don't have to be a Twyford resident, it's enough that you travel through it during the morning commuter rush.
Please contact either myself (ihatefgw@yahoo.co.uk) or the programme's producer (rakhee.hindocha@northonetv.com).
Please spread the word, we need quite a large group of people for something that's being planned to show how horrible it is to travel First Great Western, please join in.
Thank you!
Helen (ihatefirstgreatwestern.blogspot.com)

I'm sure they can make it look like Alison was fired.

Oh whoops - she was!
