Hello,
I have been reading on here for about a week and thought I would take the plunge. Not sure that many people do do this any more but I always used to when signing up to a new forum so greetings!
It had not occurred to me until thinking of it now that
FGW▸ and trains in general have been quite a key player in my life...
Growing up in NW Wilts & Bath I would regularly get the train with family to visit places; Weymouth, Weston, London, Bristol. Later on I spent about four years travelling daily Chippenham to Bath before moving to Bristol. I spent three years visiting Durham monthly by train (not FGW but hey - trains!). Last year I commuted everyday from Montpelier to Cardiff and since April have been living in Melksham... and travelling to Temple Meads for work.
I am not an expert by any means, but I suppose I have a decent number of journeys under my belt - and the "character building experiences" that go with those! I look forward to reading/lurking on this forum more and learning a bit more about what is happening and why, hello once again
[If that was too long, then: Hi, I use the train quite a bit. Nice to be here.]
