We spoke once, Jo, via the medium of Twitter, regarding a link to timetables on the website, which led to last winter's instead of this summer's times. Sorted partially within the hour, and completely within days. It is useful to have a facility like that.

A very warm welcome to the Coffee Shop Jo. Really pleased you have signed up which is great. Don't ever be concerned about posting too much or too little. As you will see some post more than others...mentioning no names  Wink and some post from time to time and everyone is welcome in whatever capacity in which they wish to contribute.

I hope you enjoy your time here and that it will be beneficial to both those who post on this forum and to FGW▸ (First Great Western).

Tim

Hi Jo

I admire your work on Twitter -- a difficult job well done.

We haven't met but I am currently The Writer on the Train for First Great Western. This is my first day registered on this site! FGW▸ (First Great Western) have given me a pass to the network so that I can travel and collect stories from both staff and passengers, as well as explore the history and geography of the line. For the past couple of months I have been posting at http://writeronthetrain.com So far I have interviewed quite a few members of staff I have come across on my travels. Now I am hoping to gather stories from passengers -- like our friends here at the Coffee Shop. Anyone with an interesting story can post at my site or send me an email at writeronthetrain@gmail.com.

All best

James

It seems to be that some of the regulars on here are fairly smitten with the arrival of Jo.

Such gallantry among the forum is almost unprecedented!

How long will this sudden outbreak of excessively good manners last, and normal service resumed ??

And a warm welcome to Jo as well ....will I be able to pick her out at TM‡(resolve) as she is being followed by a coterie of admirers all clutching a red rose ?

No, Jo, as mentioned in an earlier post is changing positions - Jo is in charge of the social media presence but won't physically be tweeting/facebooking etc.

I note FGW▸ (First Great Western) have acquired their very own impersonator. Slightly surprised she doesn't address people as "my love"...
