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

It had to happen before long I suppose.  I was amazed at the number of forum spammers attempting to join this forum reported in another thread.  (I have enough problems with junk mail).

That didn't last long. "FGW▸ (First Great Western) Becky"'s account appears to have been suspended...

Hello everyone

I just wanted to introduce myself to the rest of the Coffee Shop members.

I am Jo and I work for First Great Western. I will be here on the forum to help anyone that needs answers or explanations. Please bear with me as I find my way around and also feel free to let me know if I post too much or too little!

I look forward to chatting with you!

Jo
I see you took note of the link to this forum I put on that facebook thread yesterday then?

Note to Ollie (et al).  Do you post on Fb for First Devon & Cornwall, or are they different people in a different area?  Being First, I presume all the posts came from the same department.
Now call me naive.

Thanks Ollie.  I had this wonderful idea that all the media people (both rail & bus) were in the same building/office.  Seems not then, but thanks for the reply.
Another fine mess I've gotten myself into again Embarrassed
