After staying for "Just one more" in The George, Crewkerne yesterday, and then having to walk at a very brisk pace not to miss my train I began to wonder why they didn't build the town a bit closer to the station. I think, perhaps that Misterton would be a more accurate name for the said station.

Actually I could never understand why internal door handles were not fitted to trains once they had central door locking.

GWR (Great Western Railway)’s 153368, 153318, 153382 & 153372 were seen passing Bristol Parkway bound for Etches Park for a new life. Why are they still leaving when there is a shortage here?
35  Journey by Journey / Bristol (WECA) Commuters / Re: Reliability from Avoncliff on: March 26, 2018, 07:29:20
It seems this morning even GWR (Great Western Railway) can't puzzle the system out:

06:02 Salisbury to Gloucester due 08:32
06:02 Salisbury to Gloucester due 08:32 will no longer call at Dilton Marsh and Avoncliff.
This is due to a problem currently under investigation.

I have noticed (or not noticed actually) that a regular passenger who usually gets off at Thornford has not been seen on the train over the last few weeks, I do hope that he hasn't given up on train travel due to this "Train Fault".

I feel it rather unfortunate in such a sad time, when the cause of death is yet to be determined, that the Bristol Post web page on this incident is headed by a very large Samaritans video and finishes, after the news article, with three paragraphs about people thinking about taking their own lives and how to contact The Samaritans.

Buses of Somerset charge a flat fare of £2 to use an oldies' bus pass before 9.30, it is rather a shame that other First Bus areas don't seem to do this. I shall be trying it out in the near future when I am at last entitled to the said pass.

I'm just wondering whether other members have tried clicking on the "Contact Us" button on the GWR (Great Western Railway) Journeycheck or Train Running link on this forum and have got the same "404 This page does not exist" response?

How about if any franchise operated by or in partnership with any foreign-owned or foreign nationalised railway operator would not be allowed to charge a higher fare per kilometre than they do on their home turf?
41  All across the Great Western territory / Across the West / Re: Shortage of train crews on Great Western Railway since September 2017 - ongoing discussion on: October 23, 2017, 21:45:43
It does seem to be an absence of adaptability, we have had the best part of a year of short formed and cancelled trains in the Bristol area, it is absolutely ridiculous that the commuter trains in the evening from Bristol Temple Meads have often been cut from 4 or 5 coaches to 2, it is high time that trains should not be cancelled when the next one on the route is more than, say 30 minutes later, and unless that following train has sufficient capacity, this has certainly been a very poor year for 'customers' in the Bristol, Yate, Frome areas, let alone Melksham. Most years in the summer the trains to Weymouth have been 5 coaches, this year they actually ran one that was 1 coach and had to leave loads of people behind at Trowbridge. I'd like to sign this as "Not Impressed"
42  Sideshoots - associated subjects / The Lighter Side / Re: What's wrong with this fare? on: October 18, 2017, 21:54:02
It would be a bit of a lark (I couldn't think of a better word at the time) if a couple of hundred of us booked it today, with seat reservations, to see what happens. We might have to run our own bus service to the starting point though.
43  All across the Great Western territory / Across the West / Re: Trains without retention tanks spray human effluent over railway trackside workers on: October 15, 2017, 20:45:45
My Confession:

Sometime about 50 years ago I happened to be on a train with a schoolmate, which, unusually had toilets on it, and, having seen the hole in the floor type pan that it was, we put one end of the toilet roll down the pan just as we were arriving at Selhurst, to see what would happen, we were delighted to find that, once the train moved on, the track had a continuous strip of toilet paper from one end of the platform to the other.
I have matured a little since then.

45  All across the Great Western territory / Smoke and Mirrors / Re: JourneyCheck ... reasons given on: July 19, 2017, 19:48:00
There seems to be a bit of a run of these inconveniences:

17:30 Weymouth to Bristol Temple Meads due 20:09
Facilities on the 17:30 Weymouth to Bristol Temple Meads due 20:09.
Toilet facilities are not available.
This is due to a fault with the signalling system.
