As is often the case, the old departure boards at Oxford station were not working this morning. Instead they
displayed the usual apology.....'FGW apologise that this display is not in use' or some such excuse. Then a double take...this morning the boards say 'Thames trains apologise.....'.

Now it took FGW almost 2 years to change the apology from Thames to FGW after they won the franchise, how come it has just reverted? I cant imagine that they would want to blame another company!
