Great Western Coffee Shop

I'd like to wish all members of the First Great Western Coffee Shop forum a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

A special seasonal thank-you also to all First Great Western staff for your sterling work, occasionally in trying circumstances, over the last 12 months.

Here's to a successful and prosperous 2011.

Peace and goodwill,

The only time I've been seriously let down by public transport was a plane!!!!!  I gripe about what a lot would consider insignificant simply because - I think - there is nithin else to gripe about and i'm British - so we have to gripe!!!!

Happy Christmas everyone.  Thanks for an interesting year of posting, and to everyone working on the railways - thanks for your hard work and remember to keep warm.

Merry Christmas to all, especially to colleges and anyone else who will be working over Christmas

Oh and the guys n girls working at Reading don't drop the new bridge its an expensive present from Santa.

We also see the decommissioning of Reading Panel Signal Box which has been in service since April 1965 this web site has not been updated for a few years now but does give some good history http://www.readingpsb.org/ (http://www.readingpsb.org/)

Merry Christmas to all Coffee Shop members and FGW staff.

This year has been pretty good for me when it comes to FGW.  The main problem I faced in Q1 and Q2 was arriving ticketless at Temple Meads.  This didn't seem to be a problem later in the year when it appeared additional ATEs were in place and guards were working their socks off trying to sell tickets. :)

Customer service has improved remarkably in the last year.  Many more announcements on the train (useful ones), staff friendlier and more ticket checks in place.

This may be my last Christmas in FGW-land, so I'll have to make the most of it! ;D

Merry Christmas and a fab New Year to everyone on The Coffee Shop and all the staff at FGW ;) ;D

Despite a few rants this year, I am fairly impressed with the service I have received this past year. Long may it continue into 2011 and beyond ;) ;D

Regards,

Dominic (aka thetrout)
