DfT^» (Department for Transport - about) hinting that there may be an announcement soon for a further Access for All funding round off the back of 'reallocating' HS2^▸ (The next High Speed line(s)) funding. No indication that these stations will be benefitting, just that they are amongst those GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) requested funding for back in 2022.

Infoman - you could have posted that info?

I'm suspecting it's within https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ylys - but, please, Infoman - on these shows that are only available for 24 hours especially could you please post the URL with the headline - that way we have longer to see what you are recommending us to see - thanks!

It was on tonight six minutes into that programme & lasted just under 4 minutes - I have precised it above in my previous post - having watched it on iplayer.

In my opinion this forum has become very clicky and administered by bullies,if you don't like the way I post my info,don't read it.

Attack the posting not the poster.

I presume there is an ignore button on this forum for posters,so why not use it?

We can all hide behind a computer with no accountability of who the admin/poster is,

maybe we could have a large photo of who all the moderators are.

Then we can put a face to a name when train/transport meetings are arranged.

So if any one would care to contact me to discuss the above,here is my phone number 0117 336 1668

It's a little rusty, but there is a "who are we - the people behind firstgreatwesten.info" thread at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/1780 which introduces all the administrators. There is no secret as to who we are.  I'm also the webmaster / technical lead and you can find out all (or, rather, probably more than you want to know) about me - current blog at http://grahamellis.uk/blog.html and it includes a picture of me - two at present in fact, with a selfie within a recent blog. Lots more pictures at http://grahamellis.uk/pictures.html

All on-topic posts are welcome.  I suggested that you might like to include a link to the TV show you're telling us about as that would help other members find it quickly; that's especially the case on local news which is available for just a day. Others have "liked" my post and followed up to indicate that they too would find it useful.  I'm sorry if you see my input as bullying - it's the last thing I intend, but sometimes suggestions you may not agree with can come across a bit forceful in the written word.

Thank you for the invite to call - I am not about to do so in the middle of the night; you are most likley asleep and also having raised your concerns on the public forum, I suspect that others will want to read my response. Should you wish to call me (between 07:00 and 19:00 please!), my numbers are at http://grahamellis.uk/contact.html
