1  All across the Great Western territory / Across the West / Re: Get your voice heard in Parliament: debate on GWR performance on: February 05, 2019, 09:34:17
From Stephen Doughty MP (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context): “Dear Great Western Passengers' Forum community, I’d like to thank you all for the time and effort you’ve taken to submit these thoughtful and interesting responses. Lots of you have drawn attention to some important issues with the GWR (Great Western Railway) network, and have shared experiences which have helped shape my understanding in the build up to tomorrow’s debate.

Many of these reflect my own concerns and those of my constituents, and I will do my best to represent them in the time available for the debate. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and experiences on this topic."
