The MP says he has made four complaints in a fortnight about train services in the Gloucestershire area (link below.)

And he decided to go to the top on Sunday when seven of the 10 First Great Western Services were cancelled or revised.

"Buying a ticket for a First Great Western train is becoming rather like buying a lottery ticket," he said.

The firm apologised , saying the problems were due to a series of events including vandalism to a signal relay station , trespassers on the line and a sick train manager.
