Well what a surprise, commuters who have forked out thousands for their 1st class season tickets now have to stand!
What's FGWs▸ response or are they just hoping people will switch to standard?

Possible the same set I took in the morning, 08:09 ( RDG‡- PAD» ) had both first class and the buffet totally locked out. |

Does this line mean only first classers can stand at the micro buffet?  I have a feeling I am about to answer a rhetorical question or blow a joke out the water... The line was put above the Buffet to discourage people Boarding Coach F at this door because of the Trolley and people who may already be queuing at the buffet. This was discussed in another thread somewhere quite some time ago  |

I do not work for FGW▸ and posts should not be assumed and do not imply they are statements, unless explicitly stated that they are, from any TOC▸ including First Great Western.

Bring back the red line Or, paint the door blue, like the guard's door on the TGS. And while your at it, find a nicer colour than pink (white might work) to paint the passenger doors. |

Don't DOO▸ it, keep the guard (but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea if the driver unlocked the doors on arrival at calling points).

The contrast needs to be as big as possible for those with a sight disability

Its not pink.
Its Rubine Red :-p
They have to colour the doors with a big contrast for people with visual impairments.

They have to colour the doors with a big contrast for people with visual impairments. They used white doors on the previous livery, and the ScotRail livery does the same. I think that suggests white on dark blue is enough of a contrast to comply. |

I like the pink!
But I don't think it necessary to have a yellow stripe over the TSMB buffet end doors.

And now a set with just 1 First Class Carriage The 1706 PAD» - BRI» which I've just left at TWY▸ also only had the 1 FC‡ coach. Maybe the same set as in the photo, or is there more than one such formation around at the moment? |
